Had to renew my CA driver’s license and get my REAL ID so I stopped by downtown San Mateo afterwards and visited the Japanese Garden, in my very comfy shoes by @fluevog.bsky.social.

An appropriate sweatshirt for today…

Happy Mother’s Day!

Being over 60, not only can I wear purple whenever I want, I can have serious outfits where everything matches 😊 outfit from Anthropologie, FreePeople and @fluevog.bsky.social shoes.

Today is a reminder that except for a brief period running roughly from Brown v. Board to Roe v. Wade, throughout its history the Supreme Court has been a reactionary force protecting the wealth of the wealthy and the power of the powerful, almost always hostile to equality and justice.

Injustice continues…

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

There are limited tickets remaining for Ibram X. Kendi in Vancouver, April 13 at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts. Reserve your seat now: chancentre.com/events/ibram...

I finished the audiobook of Kin by @tayari.bsky.social - another amazing piece of art that I will be processing for a while. Highly recommended! Order from a Black-owned bookstore, like Marcus books in Oakland: marcusbooks.com/search?q=Kin

Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger.

what else can we get JD to do this weekend

It’s been a rough week, here’s some spring blossoms from Vancouver.

really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.

SOUTHCOM attacked another boat in the Pacific Ocean. Two civilians were killed. One was rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Bertholf and transferred to the Costa Rican Coast Guard. theintercept.com/2025/11/17/t...

Oh good, you're awake. Welcome to America, the year is 2026 and we're setting oil on fire until gas gets cheaper

Leigh is right all Republicans do is lie. Senate Democrats have tried 5 times to pass a stand-alone bill to fund TSA, FEMA, CISA and the Coast Guard, Republicans have blocked every single one. ICE is a rogue agency that needs to be reined in and until then #FundDHSFreezeICE

“The bombardment of Iran on Saturday was the ninth time he had ordered the military into action in his second term, even as he has decapitated the government of Venezuela and threatened to overthrow Cuba’s dictator.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...

Unbelievable that we still talk about withholding HIV funding as a form of political maneuvering rather than an act of social murder, as if the 80’s + 90’s never happened and we didn’t lose an entire generation to this already.

#BlackHistoryMonth at UBC Political Science ended with an amazing set of talks by Keidrick Roy from Dartmouth University and Brie McLemore from University of Washington. Now I need a few days to rest!
