I can feel the property developers gearing up to buy up all of #Altadena and turn it into a convention center w/ an adjacent bigtime hotel or some crap.
I’m sick to my stomach about what Altadena will become.
And I know it’s coming.
People are lighting fires in otherwise non-burning urban areas of LA. Saw this happen first hand at 302 Pico in Santa Monica. Called it in & fire dept & police responded. Stay safe and call in any activity ASAP. We don’t need more flames out here.
I talked to mixed-race people about Trump's comments on Kamala Harris' ethnicity & their own experiences with outside pressure to "pick" a side.
“We have the right to express our identity however we like because there is no ‘right way’ to be mixed-race"

I see too many teens frozen w anxiety & overwhelm due to all the schoolwork they have - this is only bcuz they want to get A’s on all of it to get into a “good” school.
A “good” school is relative!

My girl told me Starbucks brought back pistachio lattes. I told her I give my money to @findyourhilltop (and @IssaRae) for my pistachio lattes, thankyouverymuch! ✊🏾

@AdrienneLaw @Phil_Lewis_ They’re doing a double whammy here: those with mental illness are dangerous (they’re not) AND Black men are inherently threatening. So… double whammy - he had “no choice” for the safety of others. What a hero🙄
Just finished watching! A documentary that lets mixed race folks speak for themselves! No tragic or “confused” tropes needed! What a resource this will be for families, schools & any other group looking to understand the mixed race experience. An excellent conversation starter!
Presenting the trailer for my new hour long doc “1000% Me: Growing Up Mixed”. It features mixed kids from The Bay Area talking about their lives.(Can you figure which ones are mine?😁)
Premieres on @HBO on May 2. #GrowingUpMixedHBO ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻
Thanks to @DrJennPsych for sharing your tips for parents of #mixedrace kids with #TheCaliforniaReport Magazine. I've learned NOT to talk about myself in fractions anymore. I'm not half and half, but whole. @mlagos@KQED https://t.co/qwBQCqZCVg
🎧Such a fun convo w @DrJennPsych and my fellow #mixedesi Rahul Yates, 18 yr old host of the "Mixed By Gen Z" podcast. Check out both of their tips for teens and parents in mixed families. https://t.co/Us1LN4Q7aC

Premiering April 22, 12p at @BAMPFA. TICKETS ➡️https://t.co/EWuqNH6eNQ
Just because someone is mixed doesn’t mean they are white passing; in fact, many biracial people can’t pass for white. For example, Tracee Ellis Ross, Halle Berry, Lauryn London, Alicia Keys, Bob Marley, and Barack Obama could never “pass” for white. Some of y’all are silly.
@rmbodenheimer@KQEDForum@KQEDSashaKhokha@mlagos You may be able to avoid the dilemma by saying AfroCuban & Jewish. You can help them understand this means they share heritage w Black (&/or African diaspora), Cuban, & Jewish people. Take a look at how @soledadobrien lives identity as an AfroCuban/Aussie (Irish, Scottish) woman.
