Positive action of the day: write a quick note of support to a library in rural Alberta that's being forced to close under fascism. They're the hub of their local GSA. I'm going to try to do this more often, because small positive actions are keeping me sane. www.antihate.ca/letters_vall...

Influencers and politicians are spreading false narratives about water and the L.A. wildfires. These include the idea that farm moguls took firefighting water and an empty reservoir is part of a plot.

Immigrant day laborers organized a massive mutual aid effort to help Los Angeles wildfire victims. Their mantra is: Sólo el pueblo salva al pueblo - only the community saves the community🥰 Tell your senators to vote no on the Laken Riley Act as it will endanger these heroes.

Fossil fuel industry lobbying group the American Petroleum Institute, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and other business groups got a W by blocking a climate disclosure rule. The Biden administration had years to finalize the proposal, but didn't get it done, and now the rule is withdrawn.

Just a heads up for peeps, if you bought a Neil Gaiman audiobook from Audible, they are allowing refunds for them with no questions asked and no matter how long ago you bought them. I don’t even have an active subscription and they gave me credits back for two titles purchased in 2020.

A fun thing you can do is pop onto Zillow, look at all rentals in a random chunk of the greater LA area, sort by recently changed, then check every price increase to see if it was more than 10%. If there's no obvious changes (didn't go from unfurnished to furnished) then report it for price gouging.

While libraries are on my mind. Please pause for a moment and realize how amazing the library is. You walk in and say, I would like this book/info/space to sit/reading hour/book club/knitting circle. And they say, welcome. Our doors are open to you. They are lighthouses of democracy. Fight for them.

It's very tempting to rot in bed or hide in your home. But doomscrolling won't make you feel better. Maybe you have things to do, plans you've made, friends to see, places you wanted to donate. Pick one thing. Breakfast, meds, clothes or a shower? I know you can do it. One thing at a time.

The media has focused on wealthy, White neighborhoods. But the fire in Altadena--a racially and economically diverse suburb--deserves more attention, because insurance may not cover their rebuilding costs, forcing families out and leading the neighborhood to gentrify. www.reuters.com/world/us/far...

The impacts of smoke and poor air quality can last days. Check airnow.gov before you venture outside. If you’re near an active flame as a worker or reporter, wear a gas mask not just a N95. Run your AC and/or air filter. Purchase a carbon monoxide alarm today if you don’t have one. #medsky
