The election isn't over until ballots are tallied and results are certified. In California, that could mean after Thanksgiving. So, you can either spike your anxiety with a full-on news marathon, or you can join us HERE.
Our "Mental Health Distraction Worksheet" is list of digital warm hugs and emergency respites meant to recharge your psyche between now and whenever *this* ends.
You want rabbit holes? We got rabbit holes. French disco, color palettes, hand dancing, slow motion animals. What do you need?
HERE'S THE FULL LIST OF DISTRACTIONS:
One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.
