I spent a lot of time on Tumblr lo these many years ago when I was all-in on Sleepy Hollow fandom, especially the Ichabbie fanfic corners thereof, but I haven't really kept up there lately.

I'm practicaloptimism on Bsky. Haven't done much there, but will do when the great purge is over.

I'm on Bluesky under my pen name, susannafraser.

I've asked people to put "Buffista" in their profile so it's easy to find each other over there.

Fuck, I'm looking at all the fire maps in Los Angeles today.

I was hoping that it would die down but the Sunset Fire is threatening to move right into Hollywood. This is roughly equivalent to a a series of fires in Manhattan moving towards Broadway and threatening every legendary theater.

From 2010 to 2019 I gave annual Tom Waits tours primarily (hyper) focused on the history of Hollywood (music and film). I researched and researched and researched so I know every street and and its import.

From a Hollywood historian's perspective this is like when Notre Dame caught on fire.

I’m moving all my data off FB and shutting down my account. I think Bsky is goingbto be it for me.

Checking in on LAistas. And Snowy-istas.

World’s a shit show right now. Hold your peeps close.

About a month ago I linked everyone I knew that had added that to their profile to Theodosia's post about the Buffista feed but it doesn't look like anyone else has been added to that feed since it was set up.

Looks like the Sunset Fire is dying down. Thank god the winds aren't nearly as bad today as yesterday and they were able to do water drops.

Praise the Lowrd!

We've been calm for hours so the Mojave Desert isn't sending so much warm and very dry wind to LA. I bet Joshua Tree and surroundings are packed with evacuators rushing into Air B&Bs though.

I could go outside and see what it's like to have real neighbors again.

The problem is that I find bsky more Classic Twitter than Fbook -- I want to be able to read longer posts, enjoy pictures, get part of groups and so on.

Yes, this - I'm glad to see Bsky picking up steam as a Twitter replacement but it really doesn't fill the same niche as FB. The closest option for FB groups is probably Discord but only if everyone actually picks up and moves there.

(Tumblr is its own delightful little world and I don't want it to replace ANYTHING. I want it to continue marching on to the most unhinged of beats, forever.)

Boop.

EVIL BOOP

I'm boopless.

It's a blue sky (on theme!) morning in San Francisco, so neither on fire nor snowpocalypse.

You should all come by.
