Who did this? 😂

If Oprah and The Rock, a billionaire and a multi-millionaire, have the guts to ask you for donations for Maui, you can go ask that girl out.

Engagement so far on Bluesky pretty comparable with my early Twitter days. By which I mean I’m just talking to myself here. 🤷🏻‍♀️😄

On Maui, a desperate plea to tourists: Please return : NPR When the deadly wildfires ignited on Maui, tourists were turned away. Three weeks later, business owners are eager for them visit — responsibly.

This is a really interesting read on what is going on with the tourist situation on Maui right now: Because the island is so dependent on tourism, many people want the tourists to come back...even as there are larger tensions around tourism in the islands in general.

The Lahaina Blaze Is Rekindling An Old Debate Over Using Water To Fight Fires Supreme Court Justices last week upbraided a lawyer who accused a lower court judge of failing to ensure there was adequate water to fight the blazes.

Good breakdown of what's currently happening in Maui re: control of water:
"Environmental groups & Native Hawaiian advocates say the landowners are using the destruction of Lahaina as an excuse to bank water they don’t need for fire safety — a continuation of plantation water hoarding."

Here in Lahaina Maui we call this view "The back of Front Street". This view is seen from the Library Park. My original painting, the park and Front Street have all been destroyed by the Lahaina fire on August 8th. I have prints available here

How 19th-century pineapple plantations turned Maui into a tinderbox Land privatization and water depletion set the stage for the Lahaina fire 150 years ago. Now, land companies may benefit even more

"Lahaina’s original name, Lahaina i ka malu ‘ulu o Lele, translates to 'Lahaina lies in the shade of the breadfruit trees of Lele' – a reference to the large breadfruit groves that once fed tens of thousands of people."

I hope all the people, white folks in particular, posting photos of their family vacations in Maui with sad face and heart emojis are also sending money to help people survive.

For Native Hawaiian advocates, tech billionaires’ donations don’t go far enough When billionaires buy up land, “it’s painful for our community.”

"The fires that devastated Maui this month are reigniting calls for tech billionaires there to be better neighbors — or maybe not be neighbors at all." Uprooter Justine Calma for The Verge

Oprah is a joke. She has enough money to rebuild Maui by herself. No need for a fund. Just use your own money. She could house displaced families on her property.

Imagine making your whole personality about mirror selfies with your tongue sticking out.
