New owners take over bookstore in Washington County hillside
Nichols, a graphic designer, learned about the property by chance while scrolling through Facebook. She sent the listing to her husband almost as a joke. The couple was established in L.A., where Nichols, 34, grew up. Kufs, 43, a Long Island native, lived in L.A. for 20 years. They owned a home and Kufs was working as a musician and an adjunct English professor at California State University Northridge. If not for the pandemic, the couple might have kept to the path they were on, but the upheaval led them to re-evaluate their lives. Nichols left her job in 2018 and was working on a degree in library science. Kufs wondered how long he could continue to be an adjunct in the hopes of finding a job as a full-time professor, or if he finished his Ph.D., if he would end up with a job in a place he didn't want to be. -- Times Union

Monkeys Love Their Alcohol
To track the alcohol consumption of black-handed spider monkeys, Christina Campbell of California State University, Northridge, the lead author of the new study, and graduate student Victoria Weaver spent 12-hour days following the monkeys through the rainforest. Waking up before dawn, they’d hike into the forest to find the monkeys before they woke up and started moving through the 100-foot-tall canopy. As Campbell and Weaver followed, they’d collect the fruits the monkeys would discard. (Monkeys usually only take one bite of a fruit before throwing the rest to the forest floor.) -- Atlas Obscura

In the world of L.A. lowriding, a car club plaque serves as a sacred language
The making of a lowrider plaque is an art form in itself. Clubs carefully select fonts, designs and sizes to stand out from the others. Plaque makers turn this vision into something tangible through a finely honed craft. “You’re customizing it to reflect how you view yourself in the world,” says Denise Sandoval, a professor of Chicano/a studies at Cal State Northridge specializing in lowrider culture and Chicano cultural histories. -- Los Angeles Times
