@BigMeanInternet start and expand your food growing gardens.

So is there gonna be a food and energy crisis in America this summer? All indications point to yes, but when I ask experts they also say yes.

Loquats are everywhere in L.A. and representative of so many of our different cultures. They are perhaps the most underappreciated of all the beautiful & delicious fruit in Los Angeles. So how did they get here. . .and why are they culturally significant? Let’s get into it!

@AdamPage85 @TaraBull A "Pastor" is expected to have a better grasp of history... Blackface & whiteface are NOT equivalent. Both involve changing skin tone, blackface is rooted in a history of dehumanization & oppression & "whiteface" is rooted as satire, irony, or a reversal of power dynamics.

Comedian Matt Rife reacts to Druski’s skit. “BUT everyone defending the skit also needs to keep this same energy about aaallll comedy. Don't go crying next time a bit upsets you personally."

@NicoleC26578385 @Phil_Lewis_ 10% of top earning US folks, own 70% of US wealth.

@Phil_Lewis_ Why do we have so many people who can’t feed themselves? We’re no longer a nation. We’re a kindergarten for grownups.

The Trump admin says it won’t tap into its $6 billion contingency fund to cover food stamp benefits if the shutdown continues, according to an agency memo That means roughly 42 mil Americans will not receive critical food assistance from SNAP in November cnn.com/2025/10/24/pol…

@NWSLosAngeles I took this picture 20 minutes from the top of Stunt Road in the Santa Monica mountains and we can already see it

#CanyonFire near Lake Piru continues to grow rapidly. Listen to advice from local officials (including evacuations): lacounty.gov/emergency/ emergency.venturacounty.gov Here is the latest weather forecast for the fire: spot.weather.gov/forecasts/2519…

@DrJefferyHayden @NWSLosAngeles Good question. We'd love to know

@NWSLosAngeles Why is the humidity so low with an onshore wind?

Widespread elevated-brief critical fire weather conditions across interior vlys, mtns, and deserts thru Mon due to strong onshore winds gusting 30-45 mph+ very warm temps( 95-105 degrees), and humidities of 6-20%. Increased threat of large fires with rapid growth.#LAWeather #cawx

@MayorOfLA It’s a shame that you pushed the Palisades Fire’s most hazardous waste to be sorted out of LA City and on Topanga Creek. 40% of Phase 1 is yet to be done and being passed to Army Core of Engineers….at Topanga Creek. It’s not done..you just pushed it out of LA City

This is the fastest-ever hazardous debris removal effort in modern California history. That means more survivors can recover and rebuild without unnecessary red tape and delays. It's what Angelenos deserve.

Please join us for a free meditation workshop hosted at the Community Corporation Urban Food Farm this Saturday, February 8th, at 11AM. This workshop will be facilitated by Master Gardener Ajna Sharma-Wilson, who has 15+ years of experience in the healing modalities of yoga.

@jason61987 Continuous background winds and stronger gusts in Topanga Canyon

Thursday, January 23, 2025, 2:02 PM PDT: ongoing #Hughesfire and multiple smaller fires that have occurred in the last 24 and the increasing Santa Ana velocities 35 miles an hour to 50 mph gusts below the usual passes and canyons from Santa Clarita to Camarillo and some winder coming into Sylmar to San Fernando Valley. Some of the wind dynamics have tried to push their way Into the Malibu area this afternoon. Humidity levels are at 0% to 5% currently. Are you getting wind in your area let me know. #CAwx #SantaAnaWinds #SouthernCalifornia

@swiz Onsite food growing adds resilience, builds community and needs to a part of defining urban sustainable developments. Love what you are doing!

Demand is surging for sustainable properties that emphasize environmental and social benefits. Solar-powered commercial properties can attract a broader range of tenants and investors who prioritize sustainability.
