There is exactly one Texas diner in Los Angeles serving fried green tomatoes, chicken fried, steak, grits, and biscuits with gravy, and it’s in a Culver City.

IFYTYK. #NYC. #Brooklyn #RainbowCookies

My auntie lived in Baldwin Hills and hiked these steps up this hill in the background every day. I love that I can see it from the only place in L.A. with real NYC pizza, rainbow cake, and black & white cookies. La Rocco’s if you’re hungry. 🍕

AI = just a faster Google search. Overhyped. Not worth the Data Centers taking 1.7 liters of fresh potable water for each search. Not worth higher electric bills to subsidize the billionaires. We didn’t vote for that.

The reason they’re going to stuff you all into concentration warehouses instead of camps this time is because you have drones now and might take pictures.

Shout out to the Atlanta woman who took my call at AAA to explain some very complicated math for my policy, but took great delight in hearing that there is breaking news from the Supreme Court. These little moments, bring us all together in resistance.

We turned on the heater in L.A. and brought out more scarves. Also tucking in paw paws.

Very strategic, my feline friend!

If they can arrest a prince, you can arrest a president.

Thou shalt arrest the Epstein criminals in the USA.

Git ‘r’ done.

The Lord has spoken. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

Hill Country Texas is one of a kind, I tell you what. This is near Lover’s Leap. Llano River. ‘80s. GenX summertime.

I can tell y’all aren’t going out because my TV residuals have jumped – skyrocketed actually. Comfort shows on the couch and homemade soup is how people are weathering the storm.

The Shared Responsibility of Public Health Public health, by its nature, is a shared responsibility. It extends far beyond the realm of health care to include housing, education, employment, urban planning, and more. Creating better health …

Why public health is a shared responsibility: “Safe affordable housing, quality education, a livable income, stable employment, clean air and water, access to affordable fresh food, and a sense of belonging in a trusted community—these are cornerstone pieces…”

Anthropic didn’t want us to know that they were destroying millions of books to feed their software. Companies making machine learning and generative software aren’t just metaphorically ripping off books. In at least one case, they’re rather literally shredding millions of physical books to …

“AI giant Anthropic ran a massive program called Project Panama where they spent tens of millions of dollars to hoover up used books, which they then sliced, scanned, and pulped.”

High school teacher Katharina Matro explains how growing up in Germany and learning about the country’s past “made me a more informed citizen, a more politically aware citizen, a more critical thinker.” 🗃️

Bad Bunny thanked his mom
for having him in Puerto Rico, told the people on the island there's nothing they can't do, and dedicated his award to all Latinos and to immigrants who keep pushing forward with a lot of strength.

General strike in L.A. with all the shop signs. #BeGood

Listening to Selena in the sunshine during the National Strike, hoping we build the necessary momentum. Reminding myself it’s a process not an event. Long live democracy and civil rights.

An anthology that revisits ancient Irish myths through a female lens, coming February this year.

Installing a new display at the Weston Library takes time and precision.

Dancing with Jane Austen is now open, featuring rare loans from Jane Austen’s House, including a manuscript music book copied in Jane Austen’s own hand.

A glimpse behind the scenes, before the final case came together.

He said people in small towns won’t drive to the next town for a movie, but they do. He doesn’t know rural life. To drive through that beautiful scenery with someone you love is a treat he’ll never know.

T’was the night before New Year’s and all through the town not a creature was stirring and especially not a graphic designer.

Miniature street library with glass door, brass handles, and a red frame hanging on a brick wall in front of the house filled with hardback books.

Enjoy this close-up on a sweet little street library! #BookSky

Have you ever seen a cuter little library? This is in Sydney. It’s a magical city for book lovers. #BookSky

#BoxingDay distractions with fluffy #pancakes in Sydney with #Nutella and hazelnuts to take our minds off things for a bit.

Enjoying the sun and blue orbs in Sydney. It’s still a very somber place in Bondi Beach. The sun still rises & folks are grieving. Thankful for the reactions here for gun control & speaking out against extremism and violence. It’s a crack in the tranquility but a different response than in the U.S.
