I wanted to be outraged at the Sunday Times hit piece on #LeighBowery at the Tate, but then I realized Bowery’s iconic legacy is the best revenge.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Starbucks barista told me that if I order iced tea “for here” it would come in a mug. I said, “that’s weird” so I took it to go. I asked someone else they said, what? We have glasses for iced tea

Finally got a prescription in the mail that I ordered Jan 6, right before the fires. After many hours of waiting outside at the post office on various days, it finally showed up in my forwarded mailbox 3 weeks later. Whew. Good thing I stockpile

The indignity of driving across town to get free PPE, and they hand you one mask. I’m going to be out of my house for months and you gave me a supply for a day!

I’ve not been home yet at all. It’s surreal to be restricted to the lovely parts of Pasadena, which look windblown, but you cannot really tell how much destruction is just up the hill. Those of us who have lost a town, or friends or family, or a home, we have much work and healing to go. /end

I’m grateful that everyone on our block made it out. I’m sad that of our amazing group most lost their houses. I’m sad that our town of Altadena really will not be the same at all ever. It really was magical. Hopefully we can keep some of the spirit of the place 9/

Someone looked from a higher street and said it was all gone, but I knew our house is never visible from there. Eventually our friend went to see, and sent us video, amid all the ruin, our house and a couple others in our immediate area were not burned. Most of the rest of the town is gone. 8/

Over the next few days we kept getting pictures form all different vantage points of the extreme destruction in our neighborhood. And people kept saying that our house seemed to be gone from where they had looked. But I was looking and seeing our trees, looking totally fine, in the background. 7/

We cut a hole in the tree big enough for all of us to drive through and made sure that we could do it without hitting the power line. There were a few of us who were confident enough to wait for evacuation, but most of us were not. I was ready to bail, so we packed our two cars and left. 6/

But people from all over the block came with LED lights and all manners of chainsaws and generators and extension cords, and we all cut the tree, carried the branches, lit the area for safety and avoided the power line which was downed when the tree fell. 5/

A really tall mature tree probably 60 or so feet tall had fallen across our street. All our neighbors came out, and we set about getting everyone warned. Half the people on our street were blocked from exiting by this tree. We worried we would have to cram into neighbors cars 4/

We hurriedly packing all the essentials and getting the house ready for us to be gone for a while. Still we had no evacuation warning but it seemed dire out. As we moved from room to room we heard a big pop and saw a huge flash in front of our neighbor’s house. We ran in the front yard. 3/

We got our most important stuff together and decided to watch TV. We got like 2 seconds in and there was a crunching noise. I went outside and a tree was across our driveway. We were planned to evacuate in both cars if needed. We went to neighbor and he helped us cut it apart. We decided to hurry 2/

Re: most awesome neighbors. Jan 7, after a night of the loudest howling wind ever, I went to work in the morning, and after I left a small tree fell in the street and my husband spent the morning cleaning it up. When I got home, winds were howling again, we ate takeout, and started to prepare. 1/

Facebook is so committed to not being newsworthy that is suppresses posts from my friends until they are good and old, so that many of my friends sent out texts when they were evacuating or when their house burned and I’m just now getting them

I knew the Kenneth fire was Arson right away - I texted my whole family. Also the NYPost has no idea West Hills is not the West Hollywood Hills, but is twenty some miles away in the West San Fernando Valley

Guys, I’m not sure if my house still exists or not. I’m hoping we can get definitive proof one way or the other soon, when we can get in neighborhood again
