Even by the disaster standard of California, this map is staggering. To see a whole city wiped out, with each destroyed building noted, offers something all those horrible photos cannot. Disturbing @priyakkumar @gaufre visualization latimes.com/projects/la-me…
A cross-section of central Paradise -- really nothing left. It makes you look at the thousands of refugees in Chico different. There is nothing to come home to. latimes.com/projects/la-me… @priyakkumar @gaufre
...And it happened right away. Paradise was gone in hours. The #CampFire kept spreading over the next week, but the real damage was done immediately.

no one leaves home unless
home is the mouth of a shark.

you only run for the border
when you see the whole city
running as well.
your neighbours running faster
than you, the boy you went to school with
who kissed you dizzy behind
the old tin factory is
holding a gun bigger than his body, you only leave home
when home won't let you stay.
no one would leave home unless home
chased you, fire under feet,
hot blood in your belly.

it's not something you ever thought about doing, and so when you did -

#California’s deadliest wildfire devastated #Paradise High School’s Class of 2019: Their town destroyed, post-graduation plans in chaos. I went to #Chico, a city turned makeshift #campfire refugee camp, to see how the #seniors are handling the trauma. nytimes.com/2018/12/13/us/…
Their school is now temporarily operating in a shopping mall storefront, wedged between a JCPenney and a toy store. A “#Paradise Strong” banner hangs on one wall, near donated backpacks filled with new school supplies intended for students who lost theirs in the fire.
I met Kaleb Nelson, a #Paradise varsity football player who fled the fire barefoot, fire on both sides of the road. He forgot to save his dad’s wedding ring. Now he’s living in an old R.V. with his girlfriend, Adrianna Orozco. “All we have is each other,” he told me.

what’s wrong with secretary kim?

taekook au where jungkook always teases about firing his all too perfect secretary, taehyung but was bewildered when the other actually hands him a resignation letter.
Jungkook stared at the enclosed envelope sitting on his desk, his lips pursed tightly and his arms crossed over his chest as he let his chair carry the weight of his body. His dress shoes clicked on the floor as he tapped his foot, the sharp tap echoing through the office.
The frustration builds up each time he listens to the clock hand ticking away the seconds.

It has been a day. The realization hits him hard and suddenly Jungkook stopped tapping his feet on the ground.

It has been a whole entire day since Secretary Kim quit.

My handle on Twitter is Slightly Funny & I usually am. But this latest trump/sessions policy should make all Americans feel ashamed, saddened & intensely angry. If there are those among us who wondered how the holocaust was ALLOWED to happen, you have only to look at these photos
2) The act of child incarceration is abhorrent enough and the use of Christianity or any religion for it's justification should be the red line in the sand that causes every American to be propelled into action. It has been popularized to say and think, "This is not who we are."
3) But if those children are lying on the floor, it most certainly IS who we are and that is something that we now have to face. We have ALLOWED this to happen, as the German people allowed Kristallnacht. It is ironic that it is now the Germans who try to warn us & plead with us.

I don't really have wrestling-related followers but all I want to talk about is how the best thing in professional wrestling right now is a complex, epic, and (currently) happy gay love story, 9 years in the making and featuring two of the best in the world. It's remarkable.
Lemme know if you wanna hear about it, I guess. Even though the world is a fucking dumpster bummer, professional wrestling has this little ray of light, which is maybe a little hopeful even for those who don't care about wrestling.
Okay, no one asked but this will get threaded anyway, so lemme tell you all about the #goldenlovers, Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi.
