My incredibly kind and talented LAist colleague Josie Huang and her family have lost their home and all their possessions in the Eaton Fire — including all their necessities and their young kids’ toys. Their friends have organized a GoFundMe to help. gofundme.com/f/support-the-…

I was one of the staff affected by the layoffs. It's demoralizing seeing the acclaim and impact of the shows I had helped produce and realize that it can't protect me from the realities of an unstable industry.

@LAist announced layoffs this week & began notifying employees who will be let go today. We aren’t sure yet how many union members will be affected. But we are already losing 11 unit members and 10 more members of our staff to voluntary buy-outs. We’ll have more to say soon.

LAist has a new CEO — an Angeleno from East L.A.: Univision's Alejandra Santamaria. She comes on the heels of our layoffs and starts the day after most buyout-takers leave. Change is frustrating, but I hope the clean slate sets us up for success. laist.com/news/laist-nam…

I am moved beyond words by all the support for Inheriting. Below is a personal essay about what's driving me: the family history, emotional instincts, and frustrations with mainstream journalism. May this show find those that need it #InheritingPodcast laist.com/news/essays/ho…

I did not learn Asian American history until I entered college, through extracurriculars and alternative spaces. Like many others, I'm eagerly anticipating the series INHERITING by @emilykwong1234 @LAist @npr for personal stories about AAPI histories 🔥 npr.org/about-npr/1250…

a lot to process for those in the unit and outlet at-large. local journalism is definitely struggling ... which is why we're thankful to all of you showing support by spreading the word and donating. laist.com/donate

The news is out to members: LAist will be offering buyouts to staff. It may not be enough to prevent layoffs. There will be plenty of work happening over the next few weeks with our union, but I ask that if you love LAist, consider donating: support.laist.com

We are heartbroken by this and stand in solidarity with our colleagues @LAistUnion. This follows layoffs at public media shops across the U.S. and comes less than a year after LAist eliminated 21 roles in a "restructuring." Please support their work however you can.

We stand in solidarity with our colleagues at student newspapers doing vital reporting in challenging circumstances this week. We are especially alarmed by the attack on student journalists with the @dailybruin. Journalists must be able to work without fear of violence.

You have to check out my colleague @Samanta_Helou work. If you have a minute today, please check out her latest photo story about L.A.'s annual blessing of the animals. These portraits gave me goosebumps. Just absolutely beautiful. Now I want a pet! laist.com/news/los-angel…

reminder that layoffs are hardly ever the fault of the workers, it's a result of managing books/resources. workers are the labor that keep companies (private or public) financially solvent.

Episode 1 of Imperfect Paradise: Strippers Union is in your podcast feeds today! This series is the first time I’m out here on the podcast mic & I feel lucky to do it for a story about, as we say in this episode: sex work as work, and the work of improving your workplace.
