Yes, awful. Seeing homes and businesses on the PCH burn was somehow more shocking to me than the other footage. I guess because I’ve driven that stretch many times, and also because it’s strange to imagine fire meeting sand/ocean.

Yes, my tree and lights are still up, too. I also have a ceramic tree with little lights on it that I’m keeping on the mantel for now because it makes me happy.

I believe there is no algo here. If it helps, you can have a look at the people I’m following and then follow the folks you recognize from Threads. There are also a bunch of starter packs, but beware: they tend to be very big, and the accounts in them get inundated by followers.

Right? Thanks. I’m currently having a rest because it was a little exhausting. Soon I’ll rally.

I like it. Many people use ā€œRegards,ā€ but you’re reminding us that there’s but the one, and it’s fond.

However, I have burned my mouth three times in two days. Still working out the kinks.

I get it! They are my favorite squares. They feel like a call out: yeah, you persecuted me, but I’m not staying silent about it. (ā€œPersecutionā€ may be a bit of an overstatement. Or maybe it’s not!)
