Two red-tailed hawks sit perch next to each other. On the left is the male affectionately named “Dash” on the right is the female named “Dott”. They are named for their belly band markings. Dott’s name has two Ts because a gravestone near their 2020-2022 nest is marked “Dott”. The two hawks have been residents of a large cemetery since at least 2020 and have raised at least 6 chicks to fledge.

Red-tailed hawks “Dash” (left) and “Dott” sit on a branch not far from the nest they have been doing “nestorarions” on. They used the nest last year and unfortunately lost both chicks while still young in the nest. Despite this, they have decided to use the nest again. The photographer/poster believes great horned owls that were nesting nearby may have raided the nest.

An annotated photograph of red-tailed hawks “Dash” and “Dott”. The photograph has been edited to include a glowing pink heart outlining the hawks as their body positions combined resemble a heart. The photographer/poster thought this was adorable.

Caught up with my resident hawks this morning! Saw them mate for the first time this year and their nest is looking great. Hopeful for a good season after last year’s failed nesting attempt. And, gosh, they were positioned in a heart, too cute! 🪶

Photo showing a large bird with wings extended, soaring above the viewer. The bird has impressively long wings and is backlit, so its underside is shaded. It has sharp talons, tucked against its tailfeathers, and a sharp beak. Watermark identifying photographer as Genevieve Laurin.

I can't decide if this Turkey Vulture represents the gloom of 2025 so far, or if its majestic flight can serve as an inspiration that we will somehow rise above this.
You decide.

Digital drawing by me, a knight with a skull for a face is being held by a female werewolf. He seems cool with it.

I love Los Angeles - I was born and raised here, and I’ll probably always live here. I have never seen devastation and heartbreak like I’ve seen in the past week. It’s unimaginable. Like pretty much everyone else in L.A., I have several close friends who have lost everything. My heart goes out to those who are suffering, and my profound thanks goes out to all the helpers, including World Central Kitchen, Red Cross LA, LAFD Foundation, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Wildfire Recovery Fund, California Community Foundation Wildlife Recovery Fund, and of course all of our incredibly brave firefighters (shoutout to Canada and Mexico for being good neighbors). To all my fellow Angelenos, please stay safe and keep your chins up - we’ll get through this.

What to do with student loans if you've been impacted by L.A.-area fires You can pause payments for at least 90 days.

If you live or work in an area affected by the fires, you can ask your loan servicer to pause or reduce your loan payments for up to 90 days through a natural disaster forbearance.
