Today I used the “Help” section of a website and actually found the answer to my question. Applause please.

#unacuhcp #strike enters fourth week with #kaiserpermanente still stalling national bargaining discussions. When will they come to their senses and prioritize patient care? www.ktvu.com/news/kaiser-...

Kaiser has enough in reserves to reinvest into patient care. There’s no reason their staff should be stretched so thin. #unacuhcp #kaiserstrike #faircontract #KP

We’ve shared an update on the status of my son’s cancer treatment during the #kaiserpermanente #unionstrike gofund.me/b5b7fe438

The 11 year old doing dishes: “wow, most of the plates and cups were mine.”

www.kqed.org/forum/201010... #Kaiser continues to stall talk while patients are being rescheduled, rerouted, their medicines unobtainable, and the #unionstrike lines remain strong. It can all end if #KP decides to start valuing their employees and patients instead of only their bottom line.

Who wants to play for my Spanish-language Eddie money cover band called Enrique Denero?

I’m glad Bad Bunny didn’t include Greenland

A summary of #kaiserpermanente shifts in institutional priorities from good patient care to maximizing profits. #unac #uhcp #strike #solidarity

Wow! #kaiserpermanente pharmacies have an over 2 wait times for medication fulfillment! If they invested in proper staff support that might not be such a problem. #unacuhcp #solidarity #faircontractnow #unionstrike

“It could be said of Steven, as it could be said of each man, that he was the plant manager of a sophisticated psychological refinery, capable of converting vast quantities of crude ridicule into tiny, glittering nuggets of sentiment.” —The Throwback Special, Chris Bacheldor

I don’t know why this cafe serves banana-flavored coffee and I know less about why I want another cup of it.

I’m currently on the Union Strike Writing Residency

Posted at local business. I love this for them.

“The redwood trees have a lot of power: they are the tallest, live the longest, and are the most beautiful trees in the world. Destroy these trees and you destroy the Creator’s love. And if you destroy that which the Creator loves so much, you will eventually destroy mankind.” --Minni Reeves

People respond to my son’s cancer by reaching out in unique ways. One of the more unique people has been a college friend who now runs a mushroom farm in Oregon, and has been sourcing fresh horsetail mushrooms. Our oncologist hasn’t given the go-ahead yet, but we’re excited for any potential benefit

Return to the table #kaiserpermanente

Me: “it’s strange that our kids are taking the songs we took seriously in our youth and turning them into internet memes.” My spouse: “I personally never took Deevo’s Whip It seriously.”

At age 10: man this radio is playing my JAM At age 20: man this club is playing my JAM At age 30: man this gym is playing my JAM At age 40: man this grocery store is playing my JAM

I was reading Theresa Hak Cha’s book on the San Francisco MUNI when a kind stranger offered to translate some of the text for me. That moment will never cease to be.

Gabriel’s cancer journey has taken a turn for the worse in recent days. He is beginning a new chemotherapy plan which has only before been administered to adult populations. He continues to fight every day. Any help you can provide is appreciated. gofund.me/5a5f6c952

I’m going to open up a rival grocery store next to a Stater Brothers and call it District Sisters.

Parking your car at the airport for 3 days is now cheaper than an uber to and from.

A little light reading for the evening

WIP takes place in the summer which may be why I’m having so much trouble staying with it in the winter.

“I’m experiencing overexertion.” —the 10 yr old, after 15 mins of cleaning his room.

There’s world famous, and then there’s:

I’m gonna be steeped in fun

Outlook: correcting a typo is now a left click, instead of a right as it’s been for 20 years. My muscle memory: dear god, why?

Me after reading the biography of literally any famous poet: I should write more letters.

After playing soccer recreationally, on competitive club teams, in high school and college, and becoming certified as a youth coach and referee, I still do not understand the offsides rule. I have a doctorate and offsides with its 100+ caveats is still too complicated for me.

The question I only find myself in the position to ask the Saturday after thanksgiving: pie for breakfast?

“Don’t think those are ravens, or crows?” The 9yr old: “definitely crows.” “Why do you think that?” The 9yr old: “because they’re black. “So are ravens.” The 9yr old: “no ravens are blacker.”

Let’s see if I can listen to an entire Pink Floyd song before the intro to this Quentin Tarantino movie finishes.

@bjnovak.bsky.social man this book is hilarious.

It is amazing how quickly a 9 year old can go from “I’m not hungry” to “one piece of pizza isn’t enough”

A friend asked me to write lyrics for his band. It’s that request which allowed me to understand that a poem is different from a song but a song is not different from a poem.

The 8yr old: “without Mexican food, the United States would be boring.”

Penny is the queen of comfort.

Me to the 8yr old: “I won’t yuck your yums. The 8yr old: “you’re not gonna’ eww my woohoos!”

Husband and wife? If I’m being honest were wife and husband.

Have you also reached that point in adulthood where one crockpot just isn’t enough?

A stranger in a public space has walked away from their car having forgotten to shut the trunk. The trunk has bags in it. What do you do? I shut the trunk and have been feeling weird about touching the car knowing nothing about it or its owner.

Nurse: what’s your mom’s name? 8yr old: mom. Nurse: she has a name other than mom. 8yr old: I don’t think so.
