City of Ghosts / Tovaangar / L Frank’s Song YouTube video by Kikutowne

Putting this here as a calming thing for anyone needing it today. In 2021 I was able to put a song by L. Frank, a two spirit member of the Tongva at the end of an episode where you hear about how they are still here despite people trying to erase them from Los Angeles youtu.be/Qs9UbtzVvn0?...

Hope it’s a swift and smooth recovery! ❤️‍🩹

#TheGorge on Apple TV+ is a blast. Stylish, scary, action-packed, and romantic. Meet-cute at the Hellmouth with sniper rifles and proximity mines. Extremely my jam. Thanks for the Valentine’s Day treat, @crobertcargill.bsky.social @scotderrickson.bsky.social Zach Dean and team

Today the world’s a little less wild at heart and weird on top. RIP David Lynch 💔☕️🥧🪵

Don't forget you can introduce your kids to David Lynch tonight: THE STRAIGHT STORY is on Disney+ and it's an underrated masterpiece.

This photo was blown into our yard during the Eaton Canyon fire. Anyone from Pasadena/Altadena recognize these people?

In general, I'd love people who don't know anything about LA to shut up about LA

Hey Hollywood, maybe we can cool it with the FYC emails for a beat? 🙄

THAT SAID they were likely trying to do an alert for the Kenneth Fire that just broke out in West Hills so if you’re in the west Valley or the Ventura County line area, you need to take it seriously

Sounds like ALL OF LOS ANGELES just got a confusing evacuation warning alert… this has “someone didn’t input the right location codes” vibes, but man, what a time to fuck up your data entry

Yes!

LA friends, if you’ve lost your home, I’m so sorry. In case it helps, here’s some stuff I wish I’d known:

1. Make detailed contemporaneous notes about every conversation you have with your insurance company.

💕take care.

Without power in Venice but otherwise ok. Heartbreaking stories from evacuated friends though. Abbot Kinney Blvd this morning (I wore an N95):
