7 years. No matter how much time passes, it never gets easier to write these posts - you just figure out how to exist alongside them. It’s unconscionable that 7 years ago, while everyone celebrated love, someone in our community chose hate and stole 17 beautiful lives.

FEMA has issued a guide on how to apply for federal aid if you've been impacted by the wildfires.

Aid may include money for food, water, baby formula, breastfeeding supplies, medication, or even with basic home repairs and personal property losses. www.huffpost.com/entry/southe...

It’s so heartbreaking. There’s a TikTok of a poor skunk that took refuge in someone’s backyard and is so weak it can’t move or eat. These poor babies.

If you’re also devastated by the California wildfires and want to help, please consider donating to the Pasadena Humane Society. They’ve received an influx of displaced animals (over 250 and growing) and need resources to take care of them. Every bit helps. 🐾give.pasadenahumane.org

The victims in Monday’s shooting in Madison have now been identified. Substitute teacher Erin West and freshman Rubi Vergara tragically were killed in the attack. Their names, faces, and stories are the only ones that should be shared, not their killer’s. #NoNotoriety

As more details have emerged, the count has been updated (again). It appears that two people (a student and teacher) were killed and 6 others were injured. The female shooter, also a student, died in the attack. No matter the number, countless lives changed forever today.

Just curious… how long did your request take to process? I’ve got 30 in for a grant project. A few have been denied due to open / pending cases, which we expected, but wondering about the rest.
