What’s this? A messy love quadrangle?  You know Kelly and Ragon are all over that!  We channel our best Normal Gossip podcast inspiration and dive into our discussion of the self-sabotaging lovers of Rainbow Valley!  We ask such questions as “What’s Ellen’s deal anyway?”  And “Wait, do we agree with Norman Douglas?” And most importantly “Who should we cast in our movie version of this story?”  

On a more serious note, if you’d like to help Kelly rebuild after losing her home in the terrible Eaton fire, we have a fundraiser to support her as she begins the overwhelming task of recovering. 

And if you would like to help Los Angeles recover from the horrific wildfires, here are some places that are doing good work:

World Central Kitchen is feeding people on the ground in Los Angeles.

LA County Fire Department is doing heroic work and we aren’t done with the fires.

Pasadena Humane Society is caring for the wild animals and pets lost or injured in the fire.

Baby2Baby provides disaster relief to families and children in poverty impacted by the fires.

Give Directly is fundraising to provide direct cash support to those in most need after the fire for shelter, food, clothing.

Inspired by:
