- RIP, David Lynch. One of my favorite star sightings ever: A friend and I were stuck at a busy crosswalk in Westwood and no one was stopping. Finally, a guy in a giant black car (with a long line of cars behind him) stopped and waved us across. We knew it was him from his hair!
- Okay, let’s just be clear that so many normal, everyday Angelenos have been affected by the tragic fires—NOT just celebs. To say that you don’t care abt what’s happening bc “it’s just all fancy houses” shows ZERO understanding or empathy.

Please consider donating and fostering. Pasadena Humane is one such org. Contact your local animal orgs to see if they need help. pasadenahumane.org/eaton-canyon...

- There's a great recent blog post by a librarian abt how kids are craving fun, lighter reads these days. So, on #NationalSlimeDay, here's your reminder: fun, joyful (& gooey 💚) books do exist! But even more special? Ones that still center diverse kids w meaningful layers of family, culture & home. 🥰
