I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising money—but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…

Woody LaBounty writes about one of my favorite former rail lines through SF (and has some amazing photos to go with). And yes, I have a favorite former rail line. What do you think I am, neurotypical? www.sanfranciscostory.com/goodbye-dolo...

By the mid-19th Century it was illegal to advertise abortion services directly and "astrologer" was one of the code words that abortionists would use. I can't tell if the newspaper knew this (you'd think so). SF, 1871.

"The Bay water on my tongue is saltier than it’s been for most of the past millennium. That’s a big problem for some organisms, including humans, and climate change is making it worse. By immersing myself in the Bay, I’m getting a taste of things to come."

"All 16 species of long-jawed orb weavers (Tetragnatha) on the Hawaiian Islands are descended from a single spider that arrived in Kauai 5 million years ago. That ancestral spider shares a suspicious amount of DNA with Tetragnatha currently residing in California." baynature.org/2025/09/18/h...

Beautiful, Linda!

Jane Goodall's work insisting, with evidence from her brilliant and tenacious fieldwork, that we were not so separate from animals, and they were much more like us than the Eurocentric theorists asserted, was so important.

In a few weeks, for the first time in the history of partitioned Ireland we could have a South led by an Ulster Protestant and a North led by a Southern Catholic.

1. Turns out caving to fascists is a terrible fucking business model, never cave to fascists, not even once 2. I am happy this is resolved because now I will be able to watch the final episode of Alien:Earth www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/j...

Part of what will have to get reported out is what agreements, if any, were made by what parties to make this happen.

Tylenol does not cause autism but *not* taking Tylenol can cause women to be truly miserable during pregnancy so you can see why the GOP is so gung-ho about this line of argument.

Hanns Scharff interrogated US pilots for Germany during World War II. He later created mosaics at Disney World, EPCOT, and at California's state capitol building.
