I have a lot of community builders in my feed. I saw this job with Friends of the L.A. River. folar.org/opportunities/ (Note: When I post jobs usually someone will send me their resume. I am not the hiring manager. I am just a girl out here in L.A. sharing resources with people.)

I never liked air bnb, but this doesn't help me like them more. When I plan travel for folks, I avoid them, and maybe you should too. www.latimes.com/california/s...

How I have curated a sane feed on social media I follow Angelenos, artists, book nerds, art lovers, and small businesses I don’t follow people who hate things I don’t follow people with too many numbers in their names (bot formulas) *I do check to see if any of those people post things first 1/2

Out of an abundance of caution and concern for the safety of staff and visitors, we will continue to keep the museum closed through Friday, January 17, re-opening on Saturday, January 18. Please visit hammer.ucla.edu or our social media accounts for the most up-to-date information on our hours.

Several of Los Angeles businesses are offering food, a place to charge your devices, and rest. Here is a post from Fat + Flour, Culver City Location

With media and tech giants kowtowing to the incoming administration, now is the time to support our local LA media. (If you aren't already) All of these rely on donations to keep reporting. LA Taco https://buff.ly/3Pqvq1D LA Public Press https://buff.ly/3PHNt2E

I was featured in Monday's issue of Shoutout LA. In it, I talk about how I started This Ugly Beautiful City and my new website with recommendations for other cities around the world. I sometimes have a bit of imposter syndrome writing as an expert on L.A.

I know I for one am going to make it a point to disconnect more. I bought a journal for the first time in forever and I have a lot of physical books just sitting there unread

Tuesday is for travel. I am a travel advisor. My 1 piece of advice is to find your passport now and see when it expires. If it expires in a year or less from now, make a plan to get it renewed. Starting January 8th, the UK is requiring a travel visa called the UK ETA The EU will have one too. 1/2

Tuesday is for travel. Now is the best time to be in Los Angeles. This is when a large number of our population leaves the city for the holidays. It is the best time to get those hard-to-get restaurant reservations, see exhibits with fewer people, and the end of the year has a series of low tides.

Monday is for Art, Artists, Museums, and calls for artists. If you need any more reasons to love the @lapubliclibrary.bsky.social, they have a Creator in Residence Program. It isn't medium-specific and is a $20K stipend. Applications are open now. #Artists https://buff.ly/3ZCsdkr

Monday is for art & amusement parks. L.A. got the 1st look, but Luna Luna is now in New York. I recommend you see it. Luna Luna was an open-air fun fair curated by artist André Helle that opened to the public in 1987. All the rides were designed by contemporary artists.

I am not going to dedicate my Bluesky account to Los Angeles specifically. I am going to use it for things I am excited about everywhere. It will have a lot of Los Angeles content, but I am excited to talk about other cities using the same lens of art, food, and small businesses.

I'm Kristen. I write about Los Angeles, featuring things that make it a unique place. I highlight small businesses and give dozens of ideas for exploring this multi-layered city. I am also a travel agent (I think of myself more of a travel curator) who writes about art & food.

I just found out that one of my favorite artists Ericka Lopez has an exhibit on view at the University of Michigan until Friday. Lopez is a blind artist that encourages you to touch her art. She places beads and other trinkets for you to discover with your hands.
