HEADLINES
MONDAY 💪 THE START OF A BETTER WEEK 💜
I met evil on my grandparent’s TV in April of 1999, Columbine High School. This past week, we all met evil again. Each one of us that is human felt loss. I don’t have the words, other than those acts are a bullshit way to live life; privately, you’d hear more Southern Swang. But I do know that community, now more than ever, must be consistent. Say hello, wave, or smile to somebody when out-and-about in the streets of LA. Don’t be too awkward with the smile. But if it is awk AF, then who cares!
If media of evil can bring such impact of emotion, then so can media of Good - Wyatt

ANNOUNCED 🗺️ The first CuratedLA Guide is here, Best Pumpkin Patches in-and-around LA. CuratedLA Guides will now be ongoing, and we will be asking for your help with some ideas and suggestions.
Note: if you wish to receive CuratedLA Guides via email, you must subscribe to our Guides website. Like our newsletter, this is free.
ANOTHER ANNOUNCEMENT 📣 I put the newsletter on-hold last week since we utilize headlines and imagery to source CuratedLA content. Another small change that we are introducing today: Event Guides. We will now publish, and continually update, all events of interest throughout the week. It is a move that will cut fluffy content length down, providing more valuable content while ensuring inbox delivery. But if you miss any of the fluff, know that we are an email away. I am also writing a book.
