HOW TO AVOID OVERSHARING IN ONLINE SPACES (KEEPING IT REAL LINK-UP) | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM AUGUST 2010.

February 18, 2021

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM AUGUST 2010. We are officially back in our house after the Great Flood and Exile of 2010.  We’ve been a little back and forth over the past week – packing up the hotel room, unpacking boxes at home, escaping to the hotel when there was too much construction going on here, and then retreating to our house at night when it was empty.  We’ve all been coughing and hacking from the drywall dust.  That or we have mesothelioma from all the . . .

Wednesday’s Child: 15-Year-Old Dhamanjie

February 17, 2021

  Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information . . .

Life Lately

February 15, 2021

We’ve decided to do more exploring of LA as we wait this pandemic out. (We have nothing else to do!) Last night we explored Echo Park ... we did a food crawl (empanadas and taco trucks and farmers market snacks and açaí bowls and cinnamon buns) and we wandered into book stores and sneaker shops and cursed our luck at the thrift store closing just as we arrived. Then we hit up this little spot across town for the ‘gram. What neighborhood should we explore next? View . . .

HOMELESS: THE MOTEL KIDS OF ORANGE COUNTY | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM AUGUST 2010.

February 11, 2021

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM AUGUST 2010. I’m working on my syllabus this morning for a new class I’m teaching this semester.  I’ve been hunting for an HBO documentary called East of Main: Asians Aloud (which seems to be off the schedule and which I’m desperate to get my hands on, in case anyone happened to record it).  Anyways, as I was perusing their documentary listings I came across one film entitled Homeless: Motel Kids of Orange County.  As soon as I saw the . . .
