My brother's best friend is suffering from severe Catholic guilt because, when they were both 17, they went busking in Paris and he stole a candle from Notre Dame as a present for his mother. In a very real sense, it was that candle started this fire.

In a quick scroll through facebook this a.m. I had a great time unfollowing/unfriending ppl posting variations of the "how dare you be sad about a RELIGIOUS BUILDING when there is so much suffering in the world happening to PEOPLE" strawman. Like jfc the ashes arent even cool yet.

haha yes one of my kids' teachers took this line today in class.
I'm gonna go check out the cathedral tomorrow afternoon. my oldest visited the scene today (well, from a distance, since things are going to be blocked off for a while). she said it...looked bad

I just went there. A lot of people, obviously, especially since some parts are closed.Frankly, from the front it’s as if nothing happened and from the other sides, if you try to think the roof is under construction... or is flat (!) well, the rest looks in good shape.We’ve been lucky in a way.

I once jumped like two hours' worth of queue at the Vatican so I hope they've got their insurance in order.

Sorry, didn’t mean to shit on an uplifting Tweet. I thought it was kinda funny trying pawn those slender delicate trees off as hearty oaks.

I walked by the cathedral a little bit ago and it looks less different than I’d expected. Just missing the roof really. It might look weirder from the back but I was too lazy to go that far.

Which is to say: it doesn’t look burned.
lol yes i shd probably have double-checked as i already know i am a massive nitwit when it comes to identifying trees (lol my dad was a professional botanist, i just left such tasks to him) and i even very briefly paused to think "are those oaks? versailles oaks it says here legit i guess" *MASH SUBMIT BUTTON*
the long-game prepping of trees for use in buildings *is* something (some) architects are well aware of so it's not entirely implausible
