Pedro Pascal at #Cannes: "I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship and I was privileged enough to grow up in the United States after asylum in Denmark. I stand by those protections, always." https://t.co/TLRXZhyd7K

Pregnancy hormones + the horror movies trend on TT has me bawling. I didn’t expect to be so triggered seeing some of the movies that broke my heart back to back like that. “Steel Magnolias”, “Me before You”, “Beaches”, “My Girl” & “A Walk to Remember” 😭

A 67 year old amputee & wheelchair user lived with his son who had cerebral palsy

They were killed in Eaton fire while waiting for an ambulance that never came

Many disabled people can’t evacuate on their own. They need to be included in evacuation plans (yet almost never are)

This one is also only at 6% funded. Not only has Eryn lost her home but her business since she runs her hair salon from there. That’s a double whammy for her and that’s going to take her forever to recover from. Please repost. Donate. Anything you can.

The local fire station we planned to donate to put a sign out saying they’re no longer taking donations & it made happy to see my community showing up. If you’ve seen the same thing, just know people will need help even when the fires are contained. Let’s continue showing up

[Anne Margaret Daniel @venetianblonde]

California, Los Angeles, Malibu, Topanga, Calabasas, everywhere in the area: there are many thousands of displaced animals from birds to rabbits to coyotes, mountain lions, and stray cats and dogs.
Please put out a bowl or bucket of fresh water anywhere for them. Thank you.

We talked to the cofounder of Watch Duty, which has become an essential app in LA for tracking the wildfires:
- It's a 501(c)(3) nonprofit largely supported by volunteers
- Has had 100% uptime (and no mistaken evac notices vs the local gov sending THREE accidentally)
- Over 1m downloads this week with plans to expand to more of the US/oversees
- “We view what we are doing as a public service.”
