We are proud to announce support for #LA #MutualAid groups serving the 180,000 people displaced by the #LAFires! Over the past week we have organized a regular aid route that will deliver one full truck each week to sustain the local response. Help us keep it running: distributeaid.org/la-fires
A flier explaining how Distribute Aid’s LA Fires response works.

Title: Fight the Fires, Know the Needs, Fill the Trucks

Distribute Aid is delivering a weekly shipment to LA mutual aid groups.  Here’s how it works:

1. You can collect aid in UT or any surrouding state.

2. Aid will be staged at the Salt Lake City aid hub.

3. Aid will be delivered to Los Angeles on a weekly semi-truck run.

Email [hello@distributeaid.org](mailto:hello@distributeaid.org) if you’d like to fundraise to send the next truck!

See the next graphic for how to collect and send aid.

Title: Fight the Fires, Know the Needs, Fill the Trucks

Distribute Aid is delivering a weekly shipment to LA mutual aid groups.

1. Collect Aid - please contact [donate-aid@distributeaid.org](mailto:donate-aid@distributeaid.org) to get a list of the latest needs and coordinate with us before starting your collection. We will work with your team to target specific needs, and reserve space at the staging hub and on the truck to LA for you.
2. Shipment Staging - our partners, Lifting Hands International, are staging aid at their warehousing hub in Salt Lake City from the surrounding region to support the LA Fires. They can accept deliveries, and our logistics team has the capacity to pickup 12 pallets from one surrounding state each week.
3. Delivery & Distribution - The Distribute Aid logistics team is coordinating a weekly delivery of a full truck of 26 pallets from Salt Lake City to LA hubs each week (2x per week surge capacity). The aid is delivered to Community Solidarity Project’s hub in LA, where they and Mutual Aid Disaster Relief are able to resupply frontline grassroots organizations for the duration of the crisis.

Email [hello@distributeaid.org](mailto:hello@distributeaid.org) if you’d like to fundraise to send the next truck!

Social cognition ppl: Is there a review/chapter on automatic social cognition that summarizes the current state of knowledge, correcting for findings that don’t replicate?

I’m working on OER chapters for my personality psych class at CSU Fresno. This semester, I'm planning to post a new chapter to Merlot each week as the class progresses. I'd really appreciate any ideas for improving them! Since it's OER, you can remix and reuse as you please.

Decided it might be time to stop just lurking and engage a little more this year... So, hey Bluesky! Looking forward to hearing and sharing thoughts about evolutionary human sciences, status hierarchies, personality, causal inference, formal theory development in psychology, teaching, and R here.
