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!
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oof, seeing a long list of actors who lost their homes:
Anthony Hopkins, John Goodman, Anna Faris and Cary Elwes, Adam Brody, Paris Hilton, Billy Crystal, James Woods, Maria Bamford, Ricki Lake.

Watching the speakers at Jimmy Carter's funeral. Quite a human. Understatement.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
My MIL on the phone just explained that the LA mayor took money from the fire department to give to the homeless. I, fortunately, had already taken klonopin this morning, so I was able to hiss at my husband about it not being true rather than grabbing the phone and screaming at her.

Discord is awful. I used to use it often (so often), but it's really not designed for the things people are using it for in a vain effort to find a suitable replacement for FB. Also, I am on work Slack all the damn time, so Discord is not a relaxing way to spend my time. Plus, it's a fucking drama factory.
