When I lived in Pasadena, I used to walk for miles all through N Pasadena and Altadena, and up through Echo Mountain The tiny houses with their lush gardens, the beautiful vistas, the endless sunsets--these kept me sane through the pandemic, and are what I've missed most

really depressing how little coverage the eaton fire is getting compared to palisades, despite having caused almost the same amount of damage. altadena is a vibrant, primarily black and brown community. many families have lived there for decades, and not have the means to return

Just got my new frames! If you, like me, struggle with finding glasses for your tiny baby face, I recommend looking up vintage frames from the 1920s and 30s! There's a lot floating around and you can get them in smaller sizes than you can usually get new!
