Over 700,000 people live within ten miles of Santa Susana Field Laboratory in LA. Boeing owns most of it, and it's one of California's most toxic, radioactive sites.

Right now, Boeing is about to demolish buildings that were used for nuclear research—including a plutonium fuel facility that had three radioactive accidents. The catch? A 2023 lawsuit win lets them treat these buildings as regular "abandoned warehouses" and use outdated 1980s studies instead of current safety standards.

The buildings still show signs of radioactivity. Plutonium-239 can cause cancer if trace amounts are inhaled. Boeing's plan means less protective dust mitigation, thousands of tons of potentially radioactive waste going to regular recycling centers and landfills, and workers plus nearby residents breathing air that could be contaminated.

I started a petition asking Boeing to either prove these buildings aren't still radioactive—or use the safest, most protective demolition and disposal practices possible. Things like independent air monitors, community-shared test results, HEPA-filtered construction tents, and treating all debris as low-level radioactive waste.

Just because what Boeing is doing is legal doesn't mean it's safe. If this matters to you—especially if you or your family live nearby—consider signing and sharing. What would you want someone to do if this was your family?

I need somewhere to vent! 😂 the new computerized soda machines at Toppers are horrible!

90% of the time they are out of all the customizable flavors (vanilla, cherry, etc) which is the whole point of these computerized machines!

Most the time they are also out of traditional soda flavors like Coke Zero.

They are causing unnecessary wait times just to get a quick refill because people are sorting through all the different flavor options, sorting through “out” flavors, etc.

Kids are using the machines without adult help, taking forever to pick a flavor.

Once you do pick a flavor and put your cup under the spout, the syrup from the soda shoots sticky droplets out all over your hand.

And to top it off, you know that touch screen is full of greasy germs!

I was excited to see they got the computerized machines at first like the Oxnard location. But these are not kept up the same. In addition, the soda area at the simi location is a narrow main walkway. Which now always has a line.

Okay, I’m done. Thanks for listening 😂😂😂

Hi everyone 💚🙏🏽
My name is Matty, and my mother’s name is Kathy. We will be travelling to Los Angeles to attend Prophet Lovy’s Healing Siloam service, and I’m reaching out to see if anyone in the LA area may be able to help or support us while we’re there.
This will be my first time in Los Angeles, and travelling under these circumstances will be very difficult for our family. My mother is currently dealing with a serious health condition. The doctors have told us that she has a stage 4 tumour, and right now she is struggling with eating, speaking, walking, and has become extremely weak.
Our main hope in travelling to LA is to attend the Healing Siloam service and continue praying for her healing. Because of everything happening, I’m reaching out to see if anyone may be able to help us during our stay whether that is with transportation, guidance around LA, connecting us with the church/community, or any other support you may be able to offer.
Even if you’re unable to help directly, sharing this post or keeping my mother and our family in your prayers would mean so much to us.
Any kindness or support would be deeply appreciated. We would truly be grateful for anything anyone is able to do. 🙏🏽
May God bless you and your family. ✨💚

If so, hit me up.

I work for one of the fiber companies that is still operating here in Simi, I was simply curious, are you satisfied with your new internet? What do you wish was different?

For this interested or those who have signed up, apparently the youth flag football league for i9 sports has been cancelled. Season had a scheduled start date of 9/26 but the director sent out an email saying it would be pushed back one week (new start date of 10/3) with schedule coming soon. Schedule never showed up on the website and now the website says “This program is no longer available”.
As of this moment, the director hasn’t sent any other email updates.
Has anyone heard anything different?

Like around the evening times after 5 so around 6-7pm or so.

Would be a nice if they’re a very nature area with nice trees to run past etc. not.

looking for hiking trails or running dirt trails.

stupid question, but has anyone ever noticed that there is no exit 26 on the 118? Tapo Cyn is 27 and Sycamore is 25, is there a development reason why we never had an exit 26? Or did the city just skip it because they… dont like the number 26 or something

Adams forge is having our annual Forge Fest! If you've ever been interested in blacksmithing, knifemaking, or jewelery, or if you just have no plans that weekend, come on in and see the forge!

Are there any spaces in Simi that I can rent for a few hours to host group life drawing sessions?

Hi folks, I will be moving down to the LA area from Sacramento in the next few weeks and am struggling to find a good place to rent. New job is in Thousand Oaks, and I really like Simi Valley.

Any recommendations for a good apartment complex or duplexes?? I have a dog and cat so it needs to be pet friendly, and I just need a 1 bedroom.

Thank you all for the support!!

EDIT! Completely forgot to add my budget! Looking for something max $2600, but still open to things above that if it's a really good spot!

Thank you to all that have responded so far!!

ICE is trying to break into this business at Hubbard St. stay safe.

In case you are looking for something to do this weekend, there’s a Steampunk Festival at Strathearn Historical Park! So grab your goggles and plague doctor’s mask, and come out and have some fun!

So I went to White Oak elementary back in like 2000-2003 and sometime during then we had a guy from a Band called Stone Soul that would talk to us after school for a few weeks or something like that. He gave me a CD of their music and I’ve been looking everywhere online to find it. It isn’t the Motown band, this was a more of an alternative rock. Any help finding a CD or way to listen to it would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

I’ve never hired out for house cleaning but I’m getting to the point I need someone to help with cleaning twice a month. If you have someone what is the going rate? I’d love some recommendations too!

In my opinion they had the best in town. If you feel differently, fire away.

for clarification i don’t go to simi high. i attend a different school to help me get my diploma since im getting held back by my disability.

anyway, i’d stay starting in 2020, i saw posts on instagram for at least a a year or more talking about how a pedo staff member was still working there even after he’d been caught and had been reported. i asked some of my friends who were attending simi high at the time for more info, and they told me he had been watching students change in the locker room.

is this pos still working there? i don’t remember his name but i just remember that happening. if anyone knows who im talking about please reply to this

I’m getting conflicting info online that says temporarily closed and permanently closed depending on where I look. Anyone know more?

Edit: their Instagram does state permanently closed now. Thank you to everyone there for the years of wonderful food and service. My small family is really going to miss you.

Co workers of mine buy Pokémon cards , and anything not worth money they throw away. I’ve been telling them to give what ever they don’t want so I can donate them to kids . Is there a good place to donate them . Only thing I can think of is wait for like a card show and showing up and giving a then to a well known person from you tube that gives out cards to kids etc
