“It Looks Like a Bomb Exploded”: LA Artists Grapple With Loss as Fires Rage

“I literally only have the clothes I’m wearing, but that’s the same story as thousands of others,” artist Amir Nikravan told Hyperallergic.

The indie book world, especially #Romancelandia, has done a remarkable job of stepping up to create online charity auctions and similar fundraisers for disaster-hit areas in the past.

If anyone is putting together something now for everyday people affected by the LA fires, please let me know. I will happily donate a bundle of audiobooks and promote the event.

Film friends, I hope filmmakers step up, too.Tag me in and I'll help.

@AssociatedPress photographers are bearing witness to the devastation caused by fires ripping through Los Angeles and its surrounding areas. Here are some of the images they captured: Neighborhoods recognizable from above only by the outlines of the streets, charred timbers and rubble, and plumes of smoke everywhere.

From above, photos capture neighborhoods ravaged by fire in Southern California

Major wildfires around Los Angeles raged for a third straight day on Thursday, as firefighters struggled to put out blazes in some areas while in others evacuees returned to their homes, only to find them smoldering in ash.

Personally, I'm kinda tired of seeing celebrities in the #LAFires headlines. I'd much rather read ideas about what might be possible to help those who will never be able to afford to rebuild.

Eaton Fire Devastates Historic Altadena, Displacing Black Families and Destroying Legacies

While celebrity losses grab headlines, the Eaton Fire has destroyed nearly 1,000 structures in Altadena, displacing Black families who’ve shaped the community for generations. Here's a brief history of the community.

Multiple reports say that the building housing the Theosophical Society of America in Los Angeles has been destroyed along with the majority of its artifacts by the devastating fires.

“Some of the themes emerging are consistent: every #wildfire is accused of not being a wildfire at all but a planned attack for some sinister end. This serves two purposes: casting doubt on #climatechange & finding a politically useful target to pin a disaster on.”

The trauma from these LA fires will be massive. I think Fires feel worse than storms or floods because you think you can fight them. First responders will be scarred, families will fall apart, and survivors will dread every heatwave or the smell of smoke on the wind.
A family member, a cop, went into Marysville after the 2009 Black Saturday fires. They spent two weeks there. At the time, they seemed fine, but years later, the trauma and PTSD are obvious. Even the photos of the devastation still shake me, and I wasn’t even there.
My thoughts are with those suffering. Honestly, I don’t care about celebrities—they’ll recover with their money and therapists. It’s everyday people and first responders who bear the real cost, living with grief, scars, and a lifetime of trauma. #lafires #climatechange

"In a neighborhood where 59% of households earn more than $150,000 annually, where 80% of residents are white, where the average home price surpasses what most Americans earn in a lifetime — nature reminded us all that wealth provides no shelter from what's coming."

Time fact-checks Rs:

While fires raged, Qs swirled around LA's readiness. Some on SM *esp. X, incl. LAT's owner P Soon-Shiong, accused Bass of cutting the fire dept’s budget, but Politico reported: the city’s fire budget actually⬆️ >$50M year-over-year comp. to the last budget cycle-.

Musk: Bass is “utterly incompetent” & reposted posts -suggested she was a “DEI hire.” Caruso *lost to Bass in the 2022 -condemned her absence-.

Trump blamed her/Gov/Dems.

With the #LosAngeles fires happening as a direct result of #Capitalism intensifying the #ClimateCrisis, the #GreenParty has made a 101 on how a #GreenNewDeal from a #Ecosocialist direction would help end this all through transforming everything to Public Ownership & Planning in all sectors!

Maybe the most annoying thing about social media is everyone believing they have expertise or an informed opinion when they absolutely do not. We were not infectious disease experts or economic experts or oil and gas experts and we’re not wildfire experts now.

It enrages me that our heartless almost President uses this immense tragedy in Los Angeles to perpetuate his hateful agenda.

Surely someone who voted for him has ALSO lost their home in Altadena, Malibu or elsewhere? It shouldn't have to be said that this doesn't matter.

Some good news: growth of the Eaton fire has been “significantly stopped."

Firefighters Thurs were continuing to fight the #LAfires, Palisades: has burned >17,200 acres, & Eaton: ~10,600 acres.

~2,000 homes in the LA area have been destroyed, but fire crews have saved thousands of homes.

At least 5 ppl have died in Altadena. While winds have diminished, much of LA Co remains under a red flag warning, with forecasters warning of critical fire weather thru Fri night.

It seems that even the rich and famous (you know, the folks that take their private jet when you and me would take the train or bus) are not safe from this #climatecrisis.

I hope they are poorly insured, all their vacation homes are undergoing renovations and most of all that this will be a wake up call for them to truly set the example.

The lies about the #LAFires are sinisterly amplified by Trump, Musk on X, other Republicans... Their intent is to blame Gov Gavin & Dem leaders by sharing falsehoods about regs., policies, to deny CC, & set up Trump to defund FEMA, remove live-saving regs., & punish blue states' leaders.

Millions of ppl in LA fear for their livelihoods, lives, & futures, & some have lost everything, as the death toll & injuries increase.

One big lie: LA Mayor Bass cut the LA Fire Dept's budget by $23M.

#USPol
Text excerpt discussing budget claims about the LA Fire Department, highlighting incorrect assertions regarding budget cuts and clarifying that the budget actually increased by over $50 million year-over-year.
#uspol #lafires

Blaming the #LAfires on the state water system (and evil libs) ignores the fact that there is NO stopping 100 mph winds.

It’s like saying you can stop a hurricane with a wall.

Or plug a volcano so it doesn’t blow.

Trump's vile rants about the #LAFires remind us that the MAGA project degrades public life & denies our common humanity at every opp.

He metastasize disasters -constantly seeking ways to be in the HLs, #media favors this outrage & negative emotion +RW media ecosystem takes that revved up let’s-make-everybody-angry dynamic & applies it directly to electoral politics -makes everyone feel worse than they already felt. Musk is fanning the flames of hate around the CA.
