i love LA ❤️‍🩹 updates from the firestorm

we need your help

Hi starchildren,

I'm gratefully typing this on my phone notes app in a hotel bed with Shark Tank on as background noise. I am so lucky to be in this space. I am physically safe. This is my first post since the firestorm began in Los Angeles on January 7, 2025. I'll go into detail about this whole experience eventually, probably in the form of a podcast episode, but since last Tuesday I (and pretty much everyone I know in the greater LA area) have been exhausted, scared, tired, and sleep deprived. Many have lost everything. Homes and businesses burnt to the ground. So far 24 lives have been lost. As of this post more winds are in the forecast.

I wanted to update y'all with the following: my posts for the time being will not be prioritized. I'm sorry, but it's been an extremely stressful, anguishing time. I will be back, but right now I need to prioritize my mental health and keeping up to date with friends in LA. I will return because astrology helps me process. It's my work, it's my art. Thank you for understanding.

Please, please, please help. Please donate. Please amplify GoFundMes. Anything helps. Maybe your workplace will match donations? Maybe you have donation items you can ship to organizations? Money will help immensely. Angelenos have been stepping up and the community response fills my heart, but the road will be long. Please, don't forget about us. I will continue to amplify links but here are some for now. For regular updates and links head to my Instagram @spaghetti_witch and follow my stories, as that’s where my daily updates are going for now. Please donate and please share:
