Live from L.A. Stories, a reading and fire relief fundraiser I presented at Murmurs Gallery on April 27th, 2025. Ticket sales benefited Altadena Girls. Featured readers included Wendy C. Ortiz, Anna Dorn, Jasmine Johnson, Alicia Novella Vasquez, Heather Jewett, Tasbeeh Herwees, Taleen Kali, Clement Goldberg, and Marcel Alcalá (you won't hear Alicia included here though–you'll have to wait for her publication for that!). I read something too! Thank you to Gabby Datau and Morgan Elder at Murmurs for hosting us!
Wendy's three books just got reissued! Buy them!
Listen to Taleen's music–she's touring the west coast this summer.
Read Heather's writing & listen to her podcast on Planet Heather.
Make Anna's "Perfume and Pain" your first summer read.
Tasbeeh has a fab new LA-centric Substack called NO BAD DAYS.
See Marcel's painting "Anima" at Various Small Fires in Orange County through May 31st.
Watch what Jasmine makes, always.
Make Clement's "New Mistakes" your first summer read.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
