If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.

It’s hard to believe it’s still January. Feels like we’ve had a year of bad news already.

Waiting for a flight at LAX and I keep hearing the recording of cheerful Karen Bass welcoming visitors to our wonderful city of Los Angeles. Perhaps airport officials should think about turning that off for awhile? #CaliforniaFires

We are now at 60 mph sustained winds, with gusts up to 83 mph. Wouldn’t want to be on a plane arriving or departing Burbank airport (yes, they are flying). This is not hurricane country …. 😳 #PalisadesFire #EatonFire

60 mph gusts. Non-stop sirens - reports of trees and wires down all over our city. And yet I sit by my front window and see people out walking dogs and even a couple walking with their young son, who was smiling and laughing. Think, people. Please. #PalisadesFire #EatonFire

I have lived in SoCal for 35+ years. Experienced dozens of Santa Ana wind events. Nothing like this. Ever. Never in January. These used to be Sept/Oct winds. We are safe for now - notices sent to friends who live in canyons that our guest rooms are ready. #PalisadesFire #EatonFire

Illegal fireworks started in my neighborhood at 6:30 pm. My dog is already trembling under the bed. New Year’s Eve should not be this way. Yet to come, the big show from Universal Studios up the hill. #crappynewyear

The Tom Cruise cake is a real thing. I’m lucky to have a close friend who is on “the list” - she shares the deliciousness with us every year.

My daughter is a pediatrician. She is horrified and disgusted today. Only thing she can say is that job security for American doctors is strong.

I have a dog that is deaf. She is the happiest dog we’ve ever had. She has no idea there are scary noises, raised voices or loud reactions - she can’t hear the news! Our motto for her is “No bad days,”
