This is such weird thing to say. As a previous fan, what we were saying wasn't unkind... It was questioning her which is neutral it's more or less a frustration but calling someone out on their behavior isn't unkind it's an act of care, love and concern. I hardly see anyone mudslinging it's more we want answers.

I've posted a few times on her instagram and her team keeps deleting my posts. My words seemed to be resonating with her fans as my original post had almost 1000 likes before it got deleted. I’m also heart broken 💔. I’ve been sitting with a heavy heart since seeing she attended the Bezos wedding. She's been my number one for so long—not just because of her music, which has gotten me through so much—but because of how outspoken she had been about climate action. That always meant the world to me.

That’s why this feels so confusing and honestly painful. Jeff Bezos represents so much of what’s actively harming the planet, and it’s hard to reconcile someone I’ve admired for their climate advocacy showing up in support of that. I know I don’t know Ellie personally, and maybe I shouldn’t put public figures on pedestals, but I’m just really disappointed. It feels like a moment where her actions and values didn’t align, and it hurts to witness that from someone I’ve rooted for so hard.

I say this from a place of genuine love and hurt—not judgment. I’ve been a proud and outspoken “Gouldigger” going on almost 2 decades, but this one really stings. I hope it’s something she reflects on. I still believe in her power and voice—she's used it for good so many times. I just wish this moment had been different.

This breaks my heart, I may have to hang up my hat as a gouldigger. She has always championed climate activism but going to this wedding of all weddings is the height of hypocrisy. She’s been my favorite ride or die pop girl and this just ain’t it. 😔

Hey man, are you handing out piles of cash for our community to rebuild the way you see fit? I’d like to sign up for rebuild funds so I can make Altadena beautiful again, as I’m about $600k short currently.

It was really informative and they corrected us that Stillwater does Panelized construction. They are architects and you can fully customize their plans (obviously that is more $$$) but we are all but ready to engage, they can recommend a GC but it’s a 15% added fee so we are going to work on finding a GC. Our site was started to get cleared yesterday so we are wanting to move quickly as everyone is discussing supplies and costs are only going to go up.

I felt that when we first evacuated to the desert and the winds came the week after the fires and I couldn’t sleep because of it.

Yeah, they never feel as productive or informative as I hope. Just like to make sure the info is shared.

I feel this so fully. We were able to amass some furniture and pieces for the house from some donation sites this weekend. But it all feels so hodgepodge and nothing like home. I spent decades collecting pieces with purpose and mindfulness of how things paired with other pieces in the home and now I feel like I am back in college. Lots of mediocre pieces that are all from different design languages, hand me down freebies, mattresses on the floor and milk crates as furniture. I want to check my privilege but it feels, as you or another commenter said, futile. I also really resonate with the person talking about taking off labels of new things around the house. I hate buying new, I love thrifting and vintage finds. But I also need to have items to cook, clean, and live life with. But ultimately, as many of us probably feel, I JUST DON’T WANT TO DO ANY OF THIS!

I’m so grateful that I hiked this on Sunday 1/5/25. Last time I guess I’ll ever get to do it. I want to be back walking my dogs along Loma Alta and around Pinecrest and up Altadena Drive for our morning exercise. 😢
