Very thankful for friends in Culver City taking in my son and his roommates from UCLA. LA is an amazing place and people are helping each other - the way people actually respond in disasters Re: @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social writes about this in A Paradise Built in Hell bookshop.org/p/books/a-pa...

Agree and in the same situation. And to compound the fire issue - winter fires have been unusual - this is now a new normal.
