I don’t post on here too often but I was just recognized as the top undergraduate student of the @SDSU School of Journalism and Media studies! Really excited and grateful for this recognition!

Do you know how wild it is to publicly announce that you don’t want diversity, equality, and inclusion?
The air quality in orange county is terrible now, I can’t imagine how it is in LA. I’m coughing and every car is covered in a thin layer of ash..

Anti-immigration sentiment is returning in the West Coast- we have to be aware and not think California is immune. Really good article with researched historical context!

Policies criminalizing being homeless will never sit right with me... "anti-encampment" laws are just making the situations worse
Other people mourned the loss of irreplaceable items like ashes. In Portland, we spoke to Teresa Stratton, who told us her husband’s ashes were taken in a removal. She said she hopes “he’s not in the dump.”

So grateful to get to present the story I’m working on for the Pulitzer Center at their conference! I discussed the stories of Imperial Beach residents and the local pollution crisis 🗣️
“Right now, it’s all good. But when it gets dark, that’s when you’ll smell it.”

So if a plane ticket costs $1200 to fly from Florida to someplace else in America, but then jumps to $3000 because a hurricane is coming…….that should be criminal. No company should ever be allowed to price gouge during disasters.

I glance down at the paperwork my patient has filled out before his visit.
Occupation: Retired harbour master.
Two things: I’ve never met a harbor master before. And “harbour” with a “u.”
Interesting.
It’s the little everyday mysteries that I love most. That reveal us. 1/

first in 76 years… that’s really insane
Liza Colón-Zayas is the first Latina actress to win in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series category at the #EMMYs
Has anyone else been following this horrifying case of a sexual predator in France? I felt sick just reading about it

Reporter @LisaHalverstadt has an update on San Diego’s safe sleeping sites, which kicked off more than 10 months ago.
So far, about 10 percent of people who left the sites received permanent housing.

While it was only a partial eclipse for San Diego, SDSU students still geeked out and had a blast gathering for a couple of hours to watch this rare sighting. i.mtr.cool/kcdhgjhzih

Free afterschool in San Diego is massively expanding--the Primetime wait list from last year to this year has been cut in half. The fabulous @PortelaKA made a great map and table of the afterschool programs available at every school in the county. kpbs.org/news/local/2023/07/…
