LISTEN: The Times, our daily podcast with @GustavoArellano, did an episode on Latinos in Hollywood as well—there's this incredible moment when Cristela Alonzo tells Edward James Olmos how hearing him speak at her school inspired her to pursue acting. 🥺📽️ https://t.co/23Urqe0AhF

To watch In The Heights or not to watch In The Heights….I haven’t been this torn since the sad Selena series debuted on Netflix. You can’t unsee once you have seen!

@lauisaser Yes. When Max (pictured here) was tiny, he had a heart murmur and would pant when under stress. Car rides, vet office, new people in our home…he mostly grew out of it.

“A Black Girl” (una muchacha Negra) was the caption for this first photo taken at by E. Courrett, a French photographer who came to Lima, Peru to work as a cameraman. The following photos of AfroPeruvians were taken in the studio in the 1860s onward.

While LA has long had its vibrant Ethiopian community on Fairfax—some of the best 🇪🇹 grub outside the country itself, along w/ Portland’s vibrant 🇪🇹 community—LB has lacked it. So I can’t wait to share the story a Sidamo native churning out solid 🇪🇹 food out of her LB kitchen.

@KyleSRapp @AnnaMeierPS @stan_okl Yes ^^^. Tiny Scanner is my favorite app for image to PDF b/c you can check/change the crop, and it auto-straightens and flattens curvature of a page to a certain degree. You can also select lower degrees of resolution to save memory.

Our elders should not have to work until they are institutionalized or die. Our elders should not live their twilight years in a Western medicine bubble, without community. Strike up a chat with an elder on your path, today.
