I just emailed my city council person because of a giant roof leak my library has experienced. Can't believe I am that person now but I have to remind myself they work for us 🤣

Everyday I remember that LA could be the greatest city in the world if we had a good transit system. We spend all of our beautiful days in cars. Extremely shameful.

We could have had Kamala Harris. Instead, we have the most immature, petulant, stupid, needy, incompetent dipshit to ever enter American politics.
What a tragically stupid country we are.

Went to the new Breakers hotel for dinner last night at a place called Nettuno. Took the bus there & back. Love being able to do that. Seems like a silly thing but as a kid I never took the bus cause my parents drove me everywhere. Anyway, food was delicious 🤤 and the hotel is gorgeous

Poverty is a policy choice.
What a chart...
The US share of single moms (19%) is actually pretty similar to many other advanced economy nations.
What is different? = US child poverty (20%) is way higher than other nations.

If you do not know how to engage with your community for whatever reason:
It’s never too late to see what events your local library is having. They could use the traffic, you could get a movie or book and maybe, depending on your library, have fun learning something new.

Attended the Long Beach city FY26 budget meeting tonight. Not sure if the feedback truly gets taken into account but it felt good to participate 💜

Just deleted Instagram, again. First time because I felt it wasn't healthy for me. Now? Cause I'm not supporting anyone who aligns themselves with morons & the current far right rhetoric

Ok so all social media platforms as we've known them are fucked? I've been outta FB for over 6 years and never used TikTok but dang it feels very sad. The enshittification of these platforms makes me wonder - what is the solution?? Maybe we should just all stop using these & go fully offline 🤣
