In 2026 in Northern California, the rain arrives in blobs. I love learning new terms. @merriam-webster.com please pay attention!

King tide along the Embarcadero in San Francisco.

I will stay indoors and do my best to “avoid trees.”

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

No Kings, Ocean Beach, San Francisco. See the message on the underside of the plane in the comments.

No Kings, San Francisco.

How I spent my morning. It was awesome.

Important. Clear, concise, imperative. Please watch.

Update for folks: Following a very large (M 8.7) and relatively shallow undersea subduction zone quake in the West Pacific east of Kamchatka, Russia, there is a considerable threat of a damaging basin-wide #tsunami. For late-breaking details, visit: https://tsunami.gov

The entire West Coast from Washington to the Mexico border were placed under a tsunami watch after an 8.7 earthquake rocked Russia.

Shaking my head…🤬

If you put googly eyes on the Pillars of Creation you get muppets 😄😄

A thousand yeses to this from Cole Arthur Riley.

Kindness is the way.

Pass it on…

Lawyers raised their right hand and retook their oath on May 1st outside the Phillip Burton Federal Building and U.S. Court House in San Francisco.

Controlling what I can right now, so I made ricotta cheese to start the weekend in a delicious way. Thank you, @zerowastechef.bsky.social for changing my ricotta ways forever.

We should be writing Project 2029—defining the society we want, clearly and publicly. Let’s start today.

Yep and yep.

Because it’s tulip season, and I figured you needed a little inspiration for the weekend.

Mark your calendar!

Quick and easy.

In case it’s helpful to you, I’m sharing a little moment to inhale and exhale from yesterday morning. Much gratitude to the client who asked if we could start our session by taking the dog out to do her business.

Rinsing your feed with much needed rain. The redwood tree and its friends are happy.

Hard to imagine, but here we are.

Let’s do this!

Focus on what is in your control. And breathe.

My hunch is that a lot of people in the coming years are going to find national politics so depressing that there will be a market for political conversation that is focused more on local problems and solutions. Out of those local conversations might emerge good ideas for a better path forward.

Beautiful

I kept changing my mind which Carter cartoon i should go with. Here's all three.

I know so many people who would watch this.

Thankful for the farmers, farm workers, soil, sunshine, water, pollinators, friends, family, and community that fortify and feed my soul every single day. And to you who are seeing and reading this, thank YOU for being you.

Today in fashion in San Francisco’s Noe Valley. And yes, I’m channeling my inner Elliott Erwitt.

I have a favorite traffic light. It always has rubber duckies on it. Gratitude to the person/s who keep many of us smiling.
