Reminder that when you see an obvious troll/bot/chud in my comments, just let them be. They want you to engage. Don't. I'll be along to expunge them in due time. In the meantime, let them marinate in their own shittiness, don't volunteer to scoop it up and baste yourself with it.

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer. These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP. You can follow his remarkable reporting here👇 www.instagram.com/ethanswopeph...

A street is orange from flames and you can see the high winds in the palm trees. Sparks fly down the street

A fire truck is engulfed in parks and flames are seen on the hill. The entire photo is red and orange from the fire

The inside of a house is a ball of flames. The only visible thing inside is a burning Christmas tree

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.

My thoughts and strength are with Gisele Pelicot right now. The strength that woman has displayed in the years since the abuse against her was discovered is nothing short of remarkable. Let’s remember that today does not mark the end of her battle. Or ours.

I have a big ask from our local partner shelter. Beautiful, sweet blind cat Helen has had three approved adopters, but when the time comes to take her home, none of them have showed up. Can we find Helen a loving home at last? She’s been there since she was a baby! www.petfinder.com/cat/helen-71...

DO NOT give your money to Jeff Bezos. He has plenty. Make a list of the books you want to buy as gifts and buy or order from a local bookstore...if you want those stores to continue to exist.

A European ground squirrel [Spermophilus citellus] seems to play hide and seek. (It didn't - the dandelion was a welcome "prey") Hope this can help someone on a #Monday like this. Canon EOS 5D Mark III + Canon 400/2.8 #austria #mammals #wildlife #squirrels #canon

A photo of a European ground squirrel sitting behind a dandelion and holding it with two paws. It gives the impression that the squirrel is hiding behind, but it's just grabbing it to eat all of it.
Only the squirrel itself is in focus - the surroundings like the background and foreground are blurred by using a long lens and a very low point of view.
