I know it’s just a hammer, but knowing the perfect tool for the task has always been a point of pride, and when that is erased, It really messes with the ability to be someone in any community that helps. Can you help or share? It’d mean a lot

I went to grab something very simple yesterday, a hammer. A very simple framing hammer to help someone with a very simple project; I had to go grab a framing hammer, because my go-to didn’t exist anymore, it’s so demoralizing & frustrating

every single share helps. You know folks that I don’t know. I honestly believe with a little bit of sharing we could easily knock this out tonight/tomorrow. Do you have $5 or five friends? share this with them? Can you point them to me here to answer any question they may have? 🙏 gofund.me/1f347780

It’s a revelation. You build up a base and base plus of tools to do any job. Imagine if your kitchen disappeared, each knife and fork, each wine key, each pizza slicing wheel. You reach for it in your head where it’s always been, and it doesn’t exist. Everyday. I want to work, any little bit helps

There’s honestly not a day that goes by, where a friend needs a hand, or I’m trying to help somebody where I don’t go "oh I’ll just grab…, I have the bits… let me grab my level…" everyday, reaching for ghost hammers, a box knife or measuring tape, a screw driver, just melted into a pile of slag

Thanks A, as always it means the world to me, as has all your help and friendship ❤️

Bluesky is such a wonderful community of baseball fans, scientists, every corner of amazingly niche and awesome knowledge bases. With a little help and sharing from each of you I know I can get back to my goal of rebuilding Altadena for my friends and neighbors

I just really want to get back to work rebuilding my community, throw in a bunch of tariffs and tool prices are through the roof. Every little bit helps and sharing reaches an audience of folks I don’t know. I am so thankful for both, so again Thank You from the bottom of my heart

It’s embarrassing to ask after this amount of time, but with the dismantling of FEMA and the onslaught of everything going on in the world, the disasters that hit L.A. have quickly dwindled in memory, though I wake up to the reality everyday

It’s been since January, and this has just fallen off a cliff. Any help is appreciated. This has just been the worst year gofund.me/30b0aba4

I’d like to have words with whomever the BBWA non-yes vote was, Ichiro is pure baseball

If you’re staying local to wherever you live, it should be fine. Modern auto glass is good as long as there’s not an actual open space where air is blowing through

The genuine hilarity of the entire thing & knowing it was written, pitched in meetings, scheduled and rehearsed, and still just batshit silly makes it all so much better. That’s just two dudes, absolutely dying laughing. What a great day at work

I attempted to take a much needed nap this afternoon. I made it a decent hour and half listening to news while I slept, then I couldn’t do it anymore. This record should just kick-ass and not be so fucking timely. Happy Friday if you’ve got it

The Corporations Quietly Buying Up Altadena I combed through public records to uncover who’s been scooping up burned lots in and around the L.A. community—and it’s not your neighbor.

In the aftermath of the fire that destroyed the historically Black Altadena, corporations with murky structures have been quietly buying up the area
