What a week (DEROGATORY). Hope you're hanging in there. I live in a fiery hellscape but am technically fine. I cannot express to you the depth and breadth of devastation we're experiencing here in Los Angeles. Altadena -- which is very close to me -- and the Palisades and Malibu look like they were bombed. I know multiple people who've lost their homes and everything in them. Friends who haven't lost homes can't go back for months. It's a real shitshow. [The Los Angeles Times rounded up places to help;](https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-01-08/how-to-help-victims-of-pacific-palisades-eaton-and-hurst-fires?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I can only assume this list will grow over time. ([I gave to the local humane society!](https://pasadenahumane.org/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)) If you have other suggestions, please link in the comments. You will get caught in moderation because the system always makes me manually approve a link. I'll get you out eventually.

Hope you and yours are safe. Cue the MASSIVE TONAL SHIFT KLAXON.
