So very thankful the ADULTS ARE IN CHARGE
Thank you both
Stay safe our hearts are with you

For those evacuating with pets in LA: Hilton’s Homewood Suites, Home2 Suites, Embassy Suites, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton, Tru and Canopy brands are all 100% pet friendly. Even cats! And a lot of hotels are waiving pet fees atm. Good on u Hilton! Pun intended: that’s hot.

Congratulations to Exxon Mobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips for all the work they did on the LA fires! Without their hard work, it's unlikely so much of LA would be on fire.

Thank you to everyone who works in the fossil fuel industry for everything you do to destroy human civilization.

When I was traveling around the US covering the election I'd write posts on Substack and "promote" them on Twitter. Posts would get 10,000 'reads' and of that 10k 7 (seven) would come from twitter. If ur building a "brand" on Musk's platform you're wasting your time. Fact.
