"Reading her [Octavia E. Butler] words amidst the conservative onslaught against public libraries and education that deviates from the white, cisheteropatriarchal norm – as online platforms expected to take these spaces’ place are owned by people like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg – is an experience that’s, well, hard to put into words."

The Unfightable Fire
The many fires burning around Los Angeles are pressing the limits of firefighting.
Michael Wara, a former member of California’s wildfire commission who now directs a climate-and-energy-policy program at Stanford, told me. “Firefighting is not going to be effective in the context we saw a few days ago,” when winds were highest, he said. “You could put a fire truck in every driveway and it would not matter.”

If you're wealthy and lost your home the city is rolling out the hearts, prayers and demands you're compensated by insurance and the government for your loss.
But if you're homeless and living on a sidewalk they will come take your tent, expose you to the wild fire smoke and elements.

"No place is truly safe anymore. A few months ago, Hurricane Helene pummeled the western part of my new state and the city of Asheville, which many once considered a climate haven. The Pacific Northwest seemed safe until the 2021 heat dome. Hawaii seemed safe until the deadly fires on Maui in 2023.
For those who have lost everything in climate disasters, the apocalypse has already arrived."
