"The California Department of Social Services is reporting an alarming amount of lead in the state's preschools. One in four preschools have lead levels above the maximum allowed, in cities across Southern California, from Long Beach and San Pedro, to San Marino and Sherman Oaks.

"The exposure to lead is particularly dangerous to children under the age of 6, which makes the numbers particularly concerning."

#LAIST: #NPR's official #Twitter feeds have gone silent. The news organization cites the social media platform's decision to question NPR's editorial independence through a series of inaccurate labels. https://laist.com/news/npr-quits-twitter-after-being-falsely-labeled-as-state-affiliated-media-laist-is-leaving-in-solidarity

@tonymarcano
Thank you Tony and #LAist!
(Would like to see Aaricka Washington and Brian De Los Santos join you here!)

Been listening to #BloodSweatAndRockets, Season 1 of #LAmade from #LAist Studios.

Hosted by MG Lord (author of _Astro Turf: The Private Life of Rocket Science_ a family memoir about Cold War aerospace culture), this is the story of the beginning of rocketry and the “suicide squad” that led to the founding of JPL, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

MG Lord, the narrator, speaks with a great deadpan voice. She divulges such fascinating things as tho she’s ~so~ over it.

Food, Shelter, Gas: How #LongBeach City College Is Addressing Basic Needs For Students | #laist https://laist.com/news/education/food-shelter-gas-how-long-beach-city-college-is-addressing-basic-needs-for-students

Glad to see multifamily housing going up around multi-billion-dollar Metrorail infrastructure, but I can also be bummed that the former tenant of the site, El Gran Burrito, will now just live in our memories.

On #LAist, I wrote about the overlooked value of the un-curated urbanity of El Gran Burrito. Would like to think we could have BOTH #housing and places like El Gran:
