Hey guys, after a little break we're bringing back comedy at Y-Que vintage. Show is this friday the 22nd. BYOB - lineup and tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/los-feliz-vintage-comedy-tickets-1988944693118?aff=oddtdtcreator
Thankfully no fatalities, but holy fuck, can we get a light at this god forsaken intersection? And now the power is out. Stay safe Silver Lake.
I love the ambiance of this place. My boyfriend and I always dropped by once a week, so much that even the owner knew our orders, then they weren't serving pastries but it was always busy. Now we always pass the graffitied shutter that says "BEAVER" saddened that it's always closed. Great coffee and atmosphere. Very sad if it's closed. ☕ 💔🦫
Hi!
Does anyone know if they’re playing the Ronda Rousey vs Gina Corano fight tomorrow at 33 taps in silverlake?
If you see this dog please message me immediately, she's a blue heeler puppy, last seen on Flanning in the hills south of the silverlake dog park. She has no collar, and is usually scared of people (she's more comfortable with women) but is very receptive to food. Any info would be grately appreciated.
Currently dealing with my third illegal eviction by my landlord's awful son. Lots of context here.
Ive been here 14 years, the house has no heat, mold, rotting floorboards, and substandard power. I live in a single family home with 3 bedrooms and previously always had 2 roommates but the house has been so bad and he refuses to fix things so I live alone and pay half the rent on agreement w his dad. Its been like this for 5 years.
My actual landlords is in his 90s and I had decided to just wait until he passed to deal with stuff and not drag him through court etc. Son is an ahole and I knew he would pull some nonsense so Ive always kept receipts, recorded everything etc. Things are contentious, he lives next door, daily unpermitted and unabated construction blah blah blah. Hes making my life hell and doing it on purpose. He is lying in court and just doesnt care.
My question is, as I go through this and afterwards how on earth am I supposed to find someone to rent to me? Ive been in a rent controlled place over a decade, never been late. Self employed/freelance artist and my income varies a lot. Ive been unable to really work or leave since this is going on as he will pull something.
When I came home last time he had cut the power to my art studio and garage, blocked off my access to my backyard and built a fence right behind my back door. No notice, nothing. Its so bad ive made a social media account to shame him into stopping the harassment and its actually worked so far, thankfully. But whats the next step here? I clearly will not be getting a reference lol. Whats my best bet to find a new place to live despite all this drama?
I need to stay in los angeles but I do travel for projects about 1/3 of the year or a little more.
Ideas? Opinions? Experiences? All much appreciated!
I'm honestly devastated. This was my first time doing therapy. I saw this therapist for 4 months (2x a week). I felt so close to her. We shared our favorite books and art with each other. She was the first and only person I talked to about the sexual abuse I experienced at the hand of my parent, and she said I was brave for telling her about it. She said that she believed me, and that nothing was too much for therapy.
She said she felt more than equipped to deal with my history of abuse, and she encouraged me to continue speaking about it.
She said I reminded her of her best friend, and that the level of attunement we had was real. She said that I was a rare person. And then a week later she fired me. "It's not possible for us to continue our work together". I never got a termination session, referrals, or an explanation. My psychiatrist reached out to her and asked her to send me an email acknowledging the emotionally charged work we did together. She never responded.
I did some internet searching and I found that she lied to me about her experience, she claimed that she had been a therapist for four years but she actually had gotten her BBS license around a year ago. I am just so devastated. Did she lie to me about everything?, Did she ever care about me? Why was I so easy to discard?
EDIT: Some people have mentioned that pre licensed professionals can work even before receiving their BBS license. Wanted to add that as context for my last paragraph.
I usually go solo to WHAMMY! Analog Media (a VHS store by day, microcinema by night) to watch independent movies (movies that don't get to be played at larger screens in general).
Anyway tomorrow they're playing Veerana, an Indian erotic supernatural horror film and I was wondering if anyone else is also going and wants to go together, to this or other screenings.
