L.A. is Burning 💔

Stay F. Homekins: with Janie Haddad Tompkins & Paul F. Tompkins

Hello, it is the January 2025 episode of STAY F. HOMEKINS. It is our sixth season’s inaugural episode.

We are coming at you from Los Angeles and this has been a surreal and devastating week for our city and the people because of the Santa Ana windstorms and the massive wildfires causing so much destruction and loss.

So much grief and so much disregulation and shock are plaguing the wonderful people of our beloved city.

We decided to record as a respite from the heaviness of the week, we are not as silly as we normally are, but we are happy to be in communion with you. Thank you for listening and being such nice and thoughtful members of our Weekend Water community!

Stay safe and, as you know, the conversation is below in the comments! Chime in and be well. Also, we will post our Southern Charm/Damp Trash recap tomorrow (one day late). We need the distraction, so please tune in to our bonus content by subscribing to this substack and forgive our lateness! We are looking forward to that episode!

May resilience, compassion and support find us all,

Janie & Paul

Los Angeles, January 2025
