Destination Smokehouse in Murrieta, California. At the center of Los Angeles and San Diego. If you — like me — now have plans on heading there.

You didn’t ask for it, but this is my favorite and go-to explanation of Los Angeles, the one I never tire of coming back to.

Greater Los Angeles

I got back from Los Angeles last night and my head is still spinning. I’d move there again in a heartbeat.There are three great cities in the United States: there’s Los Angeles, Chicago…

I loved visiting the Setas this September even though I was completely perplexed that it didn’t exist when I (v briefly) lived there! and now it’s a super festive meeting spot

Anne Thériault @annetheriault.bsky.social · 3d

Belated, because it would have given away our exact location at the time: the view from the deck of our accommodation in Seville. Sunrise and sunset, with the iconic Setas (mushroom-like wooden structure that you can climb) lit up in bright purple. Loved, loved, loved that city.

I saw a *great* film about Senegal’s surf scene (I think on a flight from Rabat, 🇲🇦 to Marseille 🇫🇷) - I can’t wait to read this!

Delightful read on surfing in Liberia!

Once ravaged by civil war, Liberia’s surfing crew is growing. Arthur Bourbon’s film We the Surfers celebrates the Robertsport Surf Club and its community.

Here are some of the scary jack o'lanterns I've made for our cats over the years. First: the cone.

Photo of a glowing jack o’lantern sitting in a dark room. It is illuminated from within so you can see that a cat wearing a surgical recovery collar also known as Elizabethan collar has been carved on the surface.

All this talk of the Very Long Baseball Game has me feeling incredibly painful nostalgia for McCoy Stadium and the Pawtucket Red Sox

Now THERE was a team that knew how to have a very long baseball game:

The random guy who asked directions from in Switzerland as I was trying to find my hostel who after he was done giving me said directions added "remember you are a shinning star. Eventually you're gonna burn out".

Both reassuring and extremely confusing.

Co-founder Tina Vasquez writes about the expanding canon of Latino cookbooks written by Latino people.

A New Era for Latino Cookbooks

Latino cookbooks written by Latino people used to be an anomaly, but with the publication of “SalviSoul” and “Bodega Bakes,” the canon is expanding even further.
