Staying safe in the heat

- People with mental illness
- People taking certain medications (i.e.: "If your doctor generally limits the amount of fluid you drink or has you on water pills, ask how much you should drink while the weather is hot," says the CDC)

Things to do
The weekend is finally here.
- DTLA Dog Days: It’s not quite the dog days of summer yet, but Pershing Square is bringing the paw-ty downtown. Grab your furry friend (start with Bring Your Dog to Work Day on Friday) and then head to events like dog walking, dog caricatures, photo ops, and even puppy yoga on Saturday. Paid registration for that is here.
- It's Food Friday! Here's some food for thought — tacos are universally loved, but also can take on many shapes and forms. Do you ever stop to think about the way you make them at home — whether that's swapping out the protein, adding different toppings — and what that says about your culture? My colleagues Aaricka Washington and Veronica Daniel take a moment to celebrate and honor Black Tacos.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced.
