29 | LA | reading, yapping, thinking about transit 🚇

I make typos bc my brain is faster than my fingers
So it’s definitely time to start looking at international PhD programs, right?

Because as a perspective, PhD student seeing so many admission cycles getting canceled due to funding, I don’t have a lot of confidence in the US

This was one of the best books I’ve read a
In a while and definitely top 5 this year so far

CR a couple things rn but here’s the most recent
Need another little silly book to listen to while I do lab research 🤔
March 15, 2025 at 5:03 AM
I lied, now I’m starting haha

Deleted the other app off my phone
Will be transitioning over here more as the other place is getting so much worse. Will do a reintroduction post at some point

My disgust at seeing prominent climate activists on this app saying “let LA burn” when so many people’s lives are at stake right now. This is why I steer clear of mainstream climate activism and environmentalism. Save lives first, then discuss everything else. (Not amplifying them by quoting…)

A few months ago I went to a presentation of PhD research that focused on urban heat exposure on the London tube with the end goal of identifying which lines are too priority for air conditioning by tfl and I swear this topic required my brain

Cities feel alive when streets belong to people, not cars. Clean air, lively spaces, and real community vibes are the way forward.

Me going to sleep at 4am last night

And it’s 2am now 😭

Reading about evolution of the LA Port and how the city attorneys office blocked investigation into health issues caused by port air pollution for 7 years for fear of litigation against the city

So many people ended up with asthma or cancer and a host of other issues bc of that
Ok so as an LA native who doesn’t know a ton about its municipal history, I’ve been reading The Making of Modern Los Angeles by Nick Patsaouras and the second chapter is a crash course in all the major events of the 20th/21st centuries 🤯

Cannot recommend enough
December 26, 2024 at 10:12 AM
Also I need a crash course on all the Kennedys cause why are there so many and all of them in politics?!??

It’s too much to remember 😭
December 26, 2024 at 9:59 AM
I’m not sure I’m making any concrete “resolutions” this year, but I’m continuing to build out the life I want and I’m starting to think that includes learning French!

I studied for years in school and it took me a long time to love it, but I do, and I don’t want what little I did learn to fade
December 26, 2024 at 9:46 AM
So I’m reading this book and there are so many things I didn’t know about LA history I’m SHOCKED

Is this a safe space??

I didn’t know RFK was shot in LA 😳

In my defense, presidential stuff has always felt like “white peoples history” but still

I really should bike more, and I’d love an electric bike, but I also don’t wanna die on these LA streets

I’m scared 😖

I’m 5k short on tuition so might have to withdraw from classes for spring semester 😣

Extreme stress but will ignore it momentarily to “enjoy” the Holidays and my birthday
December 25, 2024 at 7:25 AM
During the holidays I’m especially jealous of people in cities with bette transit because driving 50 blocks south to eat dinner should not involve bumper to bumper traffic and intense honking

I miss London/SF so much sometimes. The ease of just getting on the bus and going

Deleted the booksky feed and suddenly this place got a whole lot better
December 24, 2024 at 9:36 AM
Logged back on to see what’s happening on booksky and it’s all still just boom challenge posts 🙄
Need someone to create a new booksky that’s more like booktwt
December 18, 2024 at 12:12 AM
Thought I’d share my 25 for 25 here too! 💙📚
December 18, 2024 at 12:06 AM
Another thing I’m a little fatigued with over here is that there are so many trends/challenges going around the #booksky community instead of organic discussion. Every post is “20 books for 20 days” and that’s so boring
