Dan Sinker/notes

Most of the time my thoughts aren't long enough for a blog post. My shortform notes get posted on Mastodon and Bluesky, and also wind up here.

Wait it's the MIDDLE of JANUARY??? What the fuck.

Last night I wrote about Los Angeles and Chicago and ritual and rebuilding. It's a little love letter and a reminder that there is hope even after the darkest sunsets. dansinker.com/posts/202...

The first time I went to LA I thought I'd hate it. Instead, I fell in love. In this week of devastating fires, I wrote about that beautiful city, its sunsets, its people, and its dreams. Read "Standing on the line" on my site: dansinker.com/posts/202...

Sometimes I lie awake and think about these headlines and sometimes I just lie awake.

Had a friend post that they could take in a cat, had another friend post that a friend's parents needed a place for their cat, and now that first friend has that other friend's friend's parent's cat. Change happens one person at a time.

I love that the Santa Monica Pier livecams are operating and you can just watch people at the beach and the pier like they're giving a big middle finger to the apocalypse. pacpark.com/santa-mon...

Side-eye about the LA Times aside, their fire map is very good, built by a good dev who I know personally. Solid, will vouch. Just zoom into LA. www.latimes.com/wildfires...
