Seemingly overnight, Hollywood went from celebration to panic as wildfires spread through the hills. On Sunday, January 5, Nikki Glaser redeemed the Golden Globes after last year’s host, Jo Koy, made a mess of hosting. But by the time the winners woke up on January 7, the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of west Los Angeles was on fire, and as the Eaton fire in Pasadena grew the following day, the two blazes, bolstered by the Santa Ana winds, turned the town scared and smoky, and claimed two lives.
Amid the confusion and devastation, simple acts of kindness stand out all the more. Of course, the hard-working men and women of the fire department are doing their jobs diligently and courageously. Seth McFarlane’s post, while not particularly effective in combating a natural disaster, sums everyone’s feelings up nicely.

On a personal note, when I swipe through Instagram Stories right now, almost everyone who isn’t in an evacuation zone is offering their couch to any friend who is.
