Reposting, there’s over 200 listed. This is the Displaced Black Families Directory. Reminder that Altadena is one of the oldest Black middle class neighborhoods in LA cause it was one of the first to allow Black people to buy homes. There’s generations. https://t.co/fwQC0pb2hq

11 months ago the Los Angeles area got a year's worth of rain and faced life-threatening flooding and mudslides now it's on fire after its driest start to a water year on record. These are the increasing extremes of a warming world.

“EVER AFTER: A Bridgerton Story” to be released on Netlfix on May 4.

This spin-off will focus on Anthony and Kate Bridgerton’s life in India as they prepare to welcome their first son.

Looks like those workers are pretty important and their employer should concede to their demands.

unironically i may let this entire quote change my life and mindset

[ProPublica @propublica]

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose.

“They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a 29-year-old in California wrote.

Pro tip you should probably choose another monument that doesn’t have a plaque that says “give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”

I wrote an op-ed for @nytimes about 2 exciting NYC Council bills.

They address the dire public restroom shortage in the city.

Chances are if you spent hours outside, you wouldn’t be able to locate a public restroom—there are only 8 per 100k ppl nationwide. Let’s change that!

"You think I'm not aware that I'm living the first line of my obituary right now?" Gives me chills every time.

That pressure, that understanding that nothing she'll do in her life after this will beat "first woman to be white house chief of staff", it's so good.

“Ms. Lively was told by another producer that because Wayfarer did not have
insurance coverage for COVID, Mr. Baldoni and Mr. Heath deliberately withheld from Ms. Lively that she had been exposed to COVID. Both Ms. Lively and her infant child contracted COVID from the outbreak”

[ali @alibrooke4ever]

Blake Lively is a well known actress married to one of the most popular guys in Hollywood while Justin Baldoni isn’t even a household name. If he was pulling this shit on her, what kind of shit are the big name directors pulling on no name actresses?

If even 1 of those employees had stolen $500 from Disney, they'd be in jail right now. Disney corporation steals at least $233M, and not a single executive, manager, or financial agent goes to jail.

America's two tiered justice system remains undefeated.

[Barto @bartonovopolis]

People nowadays are allergic to sincerity so whenever someone talks passionately about something, especially art, they're often dismissed by others as pretentious.

[Kelly A. Diaz @kdiaz428]

I do.

[patrick. @imPatrickT]

we need more modern cinematographers to go as hard as Dean Cundey did shooting THE PARENT TRAP in 1998.

@transleytanked Not a “necessary” thread in the slightest and instead a deeply problematic one https://t.co/MEusAwhnkW

Incredible that Pop Crave gets quote tweeted by the governor about major healthcare policy issue

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

Outrageous. I’m going to make sure New Yorkers are protected.
