it's $9 (nine dollas) round trip on BART #oakland to #SanFrancisco now! 😭 i knew about the slow increases over the past few years but kinda always assumed it would be $8.xx but it's a whole flat solid $9.00 now. i need a new bf who lives in sf

when my coworkers have to go investigate when someone gets hit by a driver 😣

I did the NIMBY math and one pedestrian nearly hit by an e-biker is equivalent to 10 cyclists actually hit by drivers

here's a podcast/radio show that I highly recommend. interviews and tracks that shed light on the history of electro hip-hop. bass agenda - space lab with Doug Craig aka Channel One. early ice-t, dr dre.. on.soundcloud.com/CiwFdjcgjWil... #music #history #detroit #electronicmusic #techno

i try to minimize reading national news ( #mentalhealth, trying to stay sane) but ok, so is the whole middle east situation getting closer to a WW3? biblical end times

is winter already over? i woke up sneezing, already suffering from allergies. spring is the worst season. i hate how climate change is pushing spring earlier, pollen & all that get worse and worse every year *feel like shit for half the day, for 4 months*

i finished duolingo turkish! (after i finished polish). highly do NOT recommend. both turkish & duolingo. "Evening for how many bottles wine were brought?" & better to do traditional structure of language learning. gamified is frustrating

i made it to bake sum for the last days of their LNY/CNY menu! they're switching to a spring menu on thursday 3/5, and they're closed on wed. recommend pre-ordering online. - oolong milk bun - red bean bun - black sesame kumquat crouffin (usually they make matcha strawberry) #oakland #food #CNY

i missed this news in december. good job #australia. seems like a very healthy country. tech companies foisting addictive apps without consent and analysis. Australia’s Social Media Ban for Children Takes Effect www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/w...

my theory is that coworker is in denial that she's incompetent, lacks any required skills. she's basically gaslighting us that she didn't receive proper training, etc. already went thru "reasonable accommodations" but she still can't read email or think. i'd never dealt with someone so problematic.

👀

before breaking up, i helped exbf find a new job look, now he built this path that was previously overrun in the #sf botanical garden. he also had low self-esteem. when we broke up, he was like "you're gonna forget about me. :( " lol. but not vice versa since i found him a new job! ! !

"market-rate rent of $3,362 for a one-bedroom apartment split into $2,909 rent plus a $453 subsidy at 80% AMI." fkn nuts. is #sanjose AMI even higher than #sf AMI? #housing and blaming Not enough parking. surely there are carparks nearby to lease out #BayArea www.mercurynews.com/2026/02/25/s...

my friend fixed up a bike. (took too long being ocd truing the wheels). marin larkspur. selling for $200 near Harrison Whole Foods #oakland #bikes anyone know anyone looking for a bike, plz share. for riders 5'3 - 5'8 sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/bik/d/oa...

i wish there were boba shops at transit stations, run out grab a boba/coffee and get back on the next train tho it can be hard to find if the retail is so successful and there are too many stores and it's too much like a mall, lol fiftylan, "part of your daily". a singapore chain, i think

"The three half-mile areas to be excluded (from higher-density requirements), however, are only in North Oakland around BART stations—Macarthur, Rockridge and Ashby." - @hyphyrepublic.bsky.social whaat?! is @eastbayforeveryone.bsky.social or @cayimby.bsky.social covering this? #housing #oakland

i was biking NB on telegraph ave bikeway, and a pickup truck with a couple hipster bros drove perpendicular ON the crosswalk toward me. when i rang my bike bell, the driver had the gall to yell "Wear a helmet", as if my wearing a helmet would make it ok for them to drive on a xwalk. #oakland

omgosh, this bit in this 2017 #eastbay times article on alysa liu when she was 12yo is gold. "I love that there are endless things to learn,” said Alysa, who skipped first grade... What she loves the most is jumping. Spinning, she said, takes too long. #BayArea eastbaytimes.com/2017/12/28/c...

i feel so accomplished today - replied to important emails 🙂‍↕️ (most! i didn't get to one 😣) - and so only finished 3 small-med tasks 😣 nice weather but go indoors in front of computer screen 😩 here's pic from being outside on sat. #yimby for these tall slim bldgs #SanFrancisco #sf

a couple of my neighbors got new e-bikes thru this program! #oakland #bikes #ebikes #bayarea

why can't we have nice things, like: - housing the homeless so that they don't start fires that damage public infrastructure, - a well-funded transportation system with redundancies and minimal disruptions 😭

omfg glad this wasn't yesterday we need more ferries for redundancy #BayArea #eastbay #sf #SanFrancisco #oakland

imagine being a hater, owning an expensive condo in north beach and hating things like this because the traffic hindered your ability to go do errands in marin sure, blame others for your own lack of planning wHy dOn'T u gO mOvE tO mAriN #sf #SanFrancisco #nimby

i finally went to buena vista café (an #sf institution) (oops, no pic but here's kids having fun with a signpole on the previous corner) #SanFrancisco

bikeshare & scootershare were very popular to get to the redbull event today. but some organization would've been nice. so much car traffic in the area. why ppl bother to drive. probably mostly uber/lyft but still. good on the ppl who bike & scooter. #SanFrancisco #redbull #bikes #sf #sf

i browsed the tweets from this guy who filmed good footage of the stunt on weds #sf x.com/alexkehr/sta... he's a young tech guy, seems smart. but building stuff no one really needs. do you really need a map app overlay to track your exploring streets?

#oakland restaurants and bars don't charge a 4% "health mandate" (in #SanFrancisco) to pass on #healthcare costs to customers, but this place now charges 3% for "operations". don't be guilt-tripped to hit the suggested tip amounts. imagine you're paying in cash and +$1 tip as usual.

my stupid coworker is so aggravating. she asks stupid questions that show she doesn't read email and doesn't have basic common sense or a grasp of basic concepts at work after months there shouldn't be issues with her simple tasks but she overcomplicates these tiny things that waste our time

oh gawd.. did project staff really not do outreach to the senior assisted living building? pretty sure loading/ADA and paratransit would've been incorporated in a bikeway project. tip to graphic designers and communications staff: Include a wheelchair user in the bikeway rendering. & paratransit

i was gifted Expensive jewelery (happy #CNY) i'm not into jewelry. ever since PE classes require you to take off earrings, etc. not sure i like how it makes me feel. do i need a visual tactile boost of confidence? no. do i appreciate the gift? yes tho belledesoiree.com/blogs/news/t...

"Preliminary plans for a monorail rapid transit system between San Francisco and Palo Alto were disclosed yesterday." 1963.02.13 #sf examiner #news #history #bayarea #transit #SanFrancisco #transportation

the temporary construction orange flexposts that i relocated last friday from the wrong side of the bike lane to the correct buffer side 🚧 🚲 are still there! *respect!* yea it's ~6 of them. i had gloves on, they weren't heavy to sort of swing & move. #tacticalurbanism #oakland #bike #bikelanes

i love hearing from non-super bikey folks how much they enjoy biking i didn't go to last friday's #eastbay #bike party, but it looked like a blast, lots of first-timers rollin' thru the airport and then thru the tube #alameda #oakland #bayarea

it's so annoying when things get trendy. these things were here all along. shio pan translates to salt bread, it's pretty simple bread. normalize it already. what's special tho.. is these swedish-asian shio pan fusion from dua bakehouse. #melbourne #bakery #shiopan late pm and not sold out.

happy lunar new year! yesss we got the cake. 🐴🧧🧨 black sesame + red bean buttercream #CNY #LNY #ChineseNewYear #cake #SanFrancisco #bayarea #food #design

my little cuz went to school with alysa liu #bayarea she was listing off the mutual friends/places where alysa gets her halo hair coloring done and such. #winterolympics #richmondca #iceskating

my little cousin wanted to apply to transfer to CCA (California College of the Arts) but they closed :( #SanFrancisco #art #artists #bayarea #college #university

talked to my friend who works on federal transportation grants, she's overworked bc of those layoffs, morale low. she has to assist with tribes now, too, and she's like "JUST GIVE THE TRIBES THEIR $$$!!! bc y'know, historic things, and bc they don't have the technical capacity to fill out a form"

i posted a note on his door about his dog barking nonstop. he wrote in group chat, 'Sorry about my dog, I took him on a long hike this morning to tire him out. I guess it did not work. I'm sorry." dumbass you left your dog home alone all day until 11pm, energy level doesn't matter

this is how i end my work day 😮‍💨

i picked up #valentinesday cake (dark chocolate + raspberry) from my friend's cake shop! and she was there working hard on piping the CNY/LNY year of the horse cakes! love biking this part of #sf #sunset lol but cake got cosmetic damage from being in bikeshare bike rack. #dessert #SanFrancisco

i hate when i open the window, and then a loudass noise- and environment-polluting car drives by aughh, wish there were more supply of quiet car-lite (but not stupid cul-de-sacs) streets to live on

my head hurts from having to deal with my stupid coworker. i can only handle seeing so much incompetence. threshold has been passed a long time ago

SOCIETY FOR A PHONE-FREE SOCIETY's (SPFS) 50 Suggestions For A Better Life - "but how will i find you?" #oakland #flyers #streetart

this guy who sounds like an extreme douchebag, is nominating himself to be vice chair of the #oakland public safety committee i wish oakland residents were as politically up-to-date as sf residents are with their local gov't. ken houston would be headlined as CM Douchebag

should I complain to property mgmt about neighbor's dog barking? it's been like at least half a year now. in the beginning his shared-wall neighbor posted a sticky note on his about dog barking. but nothing. no improvement. prolonged barking. longer than a quick Security bark.

yesterday slept weird and neck still hurts today. this sort of thing is what keeps chiropractors in business. my OG chiro even told me it's like a third of her appts. ie. a woman got up from the couch and injured herself.
