Immediately signed up. Excited to check this out. The logistics of parenting amongst two working and consistently overwhelmed parents of two kids in LA without family around is crushing. ANYTHING that can help, I'm game to try.

It is so painful for me to have children who suffer from anxiety and have panic attacks. That said, having suffered from them myself (as a child and adult) and having done lots of work with a therapist, I am very good at helping them through it.

A great thing about the Arc browser is when I look at Twitter, I don't see as much of the shit. The Zap feature is awesome. I know other browsers do this as well, but I think Arc does it best. It's an underrated feature. Look at the difference!

Air Gradient is offering free Air Quality Monitors to people and organizations in LA

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfjhuiURZCyItWgzIsK_CMRZZZrIWZ6b-x6HERgEDytcf6UMg/viewform

AirGradient Monitor Donation to the Residents of Los Angeles

The recent wildfires in Los Angeles have left many residents vulnerable, exposing them to harmful smoke and pollutants. To support the community during this difficult time, we are donating AirGradient Open Air monitors to anyone in need of reliable air quality data, helping them stay informed and protect their health. For those whose monitors were damaged due to the calamity, we encourage you to request a replacement to restore your access to critical environmental monitoring. These monitors will also be valuable during the reconstruction period, where dust, chemicals, and other pollutants can further impact air quality. Together, we stand with the affected community, committed to rebuilding safer, healthier spaces. Note: All applications are subject to AirGradient’s review and approval. We want to distribute the monitors to cover as much of the impacted areas as possible.

Re-ordered masks for the first time in a while. If you need them, LA Public Libraries have them. FCFS. And yes, you should probably be wearing them if you are outside. Ash and windblown dust is everywhere.

Touched rocks this weekend. I have tremendous gratitude for having had the ability to get away this weekend with the family. What a gift. We ran into friends, of course. The desert can be harsh, but its beauty is undeniable.

Getting woken up twice in the middle of the night in a panic by false alarms to evacuate in the middle of a disaster is such a blight on LA infrastructure and the EAS system in general. What a joke.

Public Safety Alert - Boil Water Notice

The unprecedented demand for water in the Pacific Palisades over a sustained period for firefighting efforts has resulted in significant low water pressure in your area. As is common in many wildfire situations, this reduces water quality and can pose a health risk. LADWP and the State Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water strongly advise consumers in the 90272 zip code and adjacent communities north Of San Vicente Blvd. to ONLY USE BOILED TAP WATER OR BOTTLED WATER FOR DRINKING AND COOKING PURPOSES until further notice.

CA National Guard has been deployed. One of the things I heard on the scanner that isn't really being reported (for good reason) is that homes and businesses are being looted because police cannot respond, so that's what the National Guard will be helping with.
