One of my favorite events of the year is back again! Now in its 4th year, the Los Angeles Immersive Invitational is an incubator for immersive art, pushing artists to innovate with less than 48 hours to build, rehearse, and present new immersive performances.

My second year at the LA city council budget meeting and this year was INSANE. I’ve been here 4 hours and haven’t spoken yet. Only 2 disruptions (that I’ve seen) and a ton of calls to defund the police instead of defunding public services or major layoffs.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

I bought a ticket to see a show, accidentally bought it for yesterday instead of today, I email the box office profusely apologizing and they change it no problem. The show on Wednesday started at 8, apparently the Thursday show starts at 7 so I just missed that show too….

Everyone is freaking out that Nick Jonas is going to embarrass himself in the Last Five Years but I need everyone to remember he postponed the entire Jonas Brothers European Tour for this, which makes it more embarrassing

I'm just as disgusted by the people who do sieg heil salutes as I am by the people standing nearby who don't immediately punch them in the face. Stand the hell up.

LA is the guy at the taco truck recognizing this is the second time you’ve eaten here today and being very nice about it.

Kendrick Lamar will not rest until he performs “Not Like Us” at the LA 28 Olympics Opening. The whole world must know how much he hates Drake.

if ur a LA-based trans theater artist with a show (small cast, solo show... full musical) that you could produce if given a theater and a couple weeks, let me know!

📣 MAJOR MAJOR PSA 📣

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR A PROTEST. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO "REGISTER" TO SHOW SOLIDARITY. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GIVE YOUR NAME, ADDRESS, AND PHONE NUMBER TO HAND OUT AND DISTRIBUTE MATERIALS.

YOU JUST SHOW UP.

What I truly don’t understand about the folks that claim the confederate flag is “heritage” and that is was just a “Roman salute” is like… you know the confederates and n*zis lost those wars right? Like the people you’re defending are actual losers on an international scale.

I used to work for an elected official as the person who answered their emails. I can tell you from personal experience, if even twenty or thirty people all call an official in a day, they start panicking. This stuff does help.

This workout set is going viral on TikTok and all I can see is Hunger Games uniforms. I know I’m hitting that dystopia core so hard but like damn can we really pick some different leggings right now?

TLDR: There is nothing enforceable for the immediate future. It will take months or years to implement this via rulemaking or bureaucratic changes which are then subject to legal challenge. While it's worrying, there's no immediate change yet for most trans people. Do not comply in advance.

The way forward is the same as it’s always been - organize your neighborhood, your household, your workplace. Nobody is coming to save us except ourselves. Look out for one another.

Not that anyone asked, but I am also skipping the inauguration.

Proud to write this piece for my city 🏙️🫂❤️‍🩹

Haven’t cried all week but just went to drop off donations and saw everyone working so hard and the line around the block of people dropping stuff off and just burst into tears.

The people freaking out about Wicked losing the Golden Globes obviously don’t know about the 2004 Tony Awards.

If you want to understand a tiny bit of what it feels like in LA right now, read the exhausted relief with which people are posting about the Sunset Fire water drop. No jokes, no snark. Just pure, tear-streaked gratitude for a smidge of good news in a nightmare.

It’s hellish here. Please be kind.

Stopped in my tracks when I realized I was listening to a smooth jazz version of “you will be found” on the Grocery Store Christmas Music playlist 😂
