Incredible convo on Reddit between a British person & American: 🇺🇸: Here, if a parked car hasn't moved from a street for two weeks, it gets towed. 🇬🇧: That's crazy, what if someone goes on holiday for 3 weeks and has parked legally outside their house? 🇺🇸: Holiday for 3 weeks, that's a good one. 😢

Looking to speak to people who have been scammed by moving companies. Especially ones that disappeared with your money and ALL your stuff. #journorequest - publication TBD, pitching large online pubs, you can view my portfolio at jessecollier.co/portfolio. Deadline: Tuesday, June 3 10AM PT

Husband: Holy sh*t, do not bring those into our home, too dangerous. Love GS, but, sadly, agreed. I cannot trust myself with a 20oz bag that funnels Thin Mints into my mouth like a sad woman's beer bong. You don't need to make thin mints bite-sized. I can already fit a whole cookie in my mouth.

Very comforting to see the old LA earthquake Twitter community made it over to BlueSky. Especially since the apps / sites I was looking were not showing any earthquakes yet. Was starting to wonder if it was all in my head 😬 Felt it on the westside. Didn’t like it. #earthquake

A little positive news: after 2 years of my chronic illness and subsequent debilitating cough, 1 surgery, many meds and inhalers that all didn’t work… I completed my first indoor cycling class… pretty much the only intense workout that I love to do.

It was a gift to connect with USC’s @galesinatra.bsky.social about losing her home to the Eaton Fire. I wrote this @businessinsider.com piece based on our convo. For those who don’t know the fire’s timeline, it’s shocking. Went from 0-200 acres in 75 mins. www.businessinsider.com/lost-home-la...

Incredulous, as I saw a post saying businesses should not use 🔥 emojis in marketing. As a lifelong Californian who has suffered from wildfires, we don’t need yall to not use emojis. We need the 100 businesses responsible for 71% of Earth’s carbon emissions to take responsibility for global warming.

Need help promoting this — anybody know someone with a large following willing to share on Instagram? I've sent to MutualAid and some local FB groups, but I've largely been off social media for over a year and don't really know who the tastemakers are! lol IG post: www.instagram.com/p/DEvX1Wcz3d...

Some positive news.. enjoyed seeing Tamworth hold their own against Tottenham for a solid 90 minutes. Great club! Thanks for proving a space to play and being so welcoming. I hope the Lambs had fun and are the talk of the town at their jobs tomorrow. Well-deserved. #FACup #coys

There’s a small bookshop “adult scholastic book fair” at a local brewery They vastly misunderstood the demand

I grew up partly in Los Angeles (Brentwood) and partly Upper Ojai, California — the brushy, rural backcountry up in the mountains. We had about an acre of land and an animal rescue ranch. My street backed up to a mountain and the area was very fire prone. 1/5

I haven’t posted on here, but we lost our home in the Eaton Fire. We’re safe & the dogs are safe. For anyone looking for a way to help, I've launched a GoFundMe. This will help replace my personal copies & inventory of my comics I've written. One step at a time. Love you all. ❤️ gofund.me/6cfafae7

I’m actually laughing out loud about Biden announcing the birth of his great granddaughter DURING the LA fire briefing, in front of a map showing 22,000+ acres engulfed in flames… and everyone clapping. You really can’t make this up. My mom used to say, “if we weren’t laughing, we’d be crying!”

Finally, some good news! #coys

If you’re wondering what kind of day I’m having, this morning I put my doctor’s office address into Apple Music instead of GPS.

Me when I realized it’s January 3 and I have not completed a single house project on my winter sabbatical list. Oh, my 2024 self, you were so foolishly ambitious with your 10+ multi-day projects. Keep that hope up in 2025.

Happy New Year! It’s been a difficult year mentally, and I sadly neglected some plant babies, both indoor & outdoor. Then, our roofers badly damaged some of my favorites, including some palms, monstera, & birds of paradise. 😭 But it’s okay because they gave us a $40 Chili’s gift card. 🫠 (1/2)

With a different outcome in November, this image would have made me so happy. Now it’s like being Facebook friends with “the one that got away”, who is having a happy, wholesome life without me lol What movie do you think he and his fam are watching tonight? Elf? Muppets’ Christmas Carol?

Watching the Spurs play is my cardio. 😱 😰 #coys

My husband asking the important questions.

Members of my family have lived in LA since the 1930s, the @latimes.com paper sat on our doorsteps every morning for decades. I loved and trusted LAT and am devastated to see the CEO destroying it. Today, we continue to witness the slow demise of not only journalism, but free press in this country.💔

As if I needed yet another reason to wish I lived in the UK, I just found out Paddington 3 hits UK theaters November 8, while we Americans have to wait until mid-February. Devastating.

This is horrifying. Glad we’re all on here now.
