Today's riddle: What do you call a one-legged Big Foot? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• LA County Selects Artist for Wildfire Community Memory Project (mynewsla.com) — Altadena residents will soon be invited to take part in creative workshops preserving memories of the January 2025 wildfires, led by artist-in-residence Tanya Aguiñiga. Hosted through LA County's Cultural Climate Commons with the Altadena Library District and partners, the sessions will help neighbors share stories, make art, and contribute to a new digital archive documenting local recovery.
• And Then Somebody Handed Me a Story: Gary Indiana, Unlocked by Natalie Shapero (theparisreview.org) — Altadena appears in a striking anecdote about Gary Indiana's vast book collection, which was reportedly shipped to a planned local library site and then lost in the Eaton Fire. The piece uses that loss to frame a newly unlocked Paris Review interview, exploring Indiana's life, art criticism, fiction, and reflections on love, trauma, and taking real action.
• Pérez Says Newsom Vetoes Will Delay Justice for California Fire Survivors (coloradoboulevard.net) — Altadena readers affected by the Eaton and Palisades fires may feel the impact of Governor Newsom's vetoes of two insurance-reform bills aimed at faster, clearer payouts for fire survivors. Senator Pérez says the bipartisan measures, inspired by January 2025 survivors' struggles to rebuild, would have penalized needless delays and required detailed claim explanations statewide.
