So @grassflu.bsky.social inspired me to try making gözleme 🙏 I did a vegan version with tofu and shaggy mane mushrooms that I’ve been picking off our wine barrel planters 😄 Turned out so good!

WATCH: If you REALLY want to understand a BIG reason why cycling [aka riding a bike] is so dangerous in North America, and one of the biggest villains in the origin story of our unsafe status quo, invest some time watching this one, by NOT JUST BIKES (aka @theurbanistagenda.com here). Then share it.

New guidance from the Trump administration directs visa officers to consider common health ailments, including obesity and diabetes, when would-be immigrants seek to enter the U.S. n.pr/4oV0WFn

Finally, great crumb! It’s been a long process to figure out the proofing and baking for this type 80, 90% hydration sourdough 😮‍💨🍞 #centralmilling #oldworldflour #baking #sourdough

Bread is in the oven, halfway through baking 😋 #baking #sourdough

Past its prime, but still a head turner! Stains blue and probably oak loving bolete. #fungifriends

It’s always worth biking up Hawk Hill! 🚴🌁🌅 #sanfrancisco #goldengate #hawkhill #headlands #photography

The shaggy mane cluster keeps on giving! 🧵for recipe! #fungifriends #cooking

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

My shaggy mane adventure, a thread 🧵🍄📸

Shaggy mane deliquescing #fungifriends #nature #timelapse #macro #sandmarc

Looking forward to shaggy mane for dinner! And for all my #fungifriends, I’ll try to take a time-lapse of this one deliquescing into ink 🤞

#fungifriends, am I growing shaggy mane or is this some other ink cap in my wine barrel container? The mycelium has been decomposing the very woody soil all summer and these popped up with the rain 🤩

Isopods!! 🧡

The raining morning view of the kitchen bar, some #sourdough #baking and #pickling apparent. I accidentally turned off the oven and the second loaf didn’t rise properly 😅

Let us be #fungifriends!

Crustose lichen, possibly Circinaria calcarea. A lovely white mosaic for my #fungifriends

The City of Alameda is seeking feedback on their design and phasing recommendations for the problematic intersection at Gibbons/High/Fernside. There’s an open house at City Hall on Thursday at 5:30pm, and lots of materials, including a survey, on this page: www.alamedaca.gov/Departments/...

Just needed some peace and quiet to bloom. #orchid #blossom #houseplants 🌱

With “Balasana”, tomato photographer E.M. strives to convey the long sought peace of completion, enjoyed at last in the calm warmth that fall brings to the solanaceae family. #art #nature #fall #photography

Smartphone driving is drunk driving. I see anywhere between 30-50% of drivers holding and staring at their phone whenever I bike in the city.

One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new. They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational. It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.

Love crossing the Golden Gate Bridge on a bike 🚲🌉

Designed and printed a clip rack for the garage, to dry things like gloves, etc. Used transparent hair ties to make it work 🧵 #3dmodeling #3dprinting #bambulabs #diy #organization

My first of the season. 💚🐝

Look at those metallic blue-greens of this fine striped sweat bee enjoying our garden! 😍

Cherry tomatoes harvest!

Spotted a sharptail bee enjoying my moms marigolds on my lunch break today 😌

Adding bikeways to state highways isn’t easy, especially when the project was approved five years ago But in Alameda and Oakland, two local advocates did just that.

Urbanism is going to dominate in the coming century because it simply produces more beautiful cities than car dependent ones

Some decision makers are recommending closure of the Richmond San Rafael Bridge trail on weekdays and a decision will be made soon. The time to act is now! Sign the petition to tell them you support 24/7 access! bikeeastbay.org/rsr2024-2?ce...

100 years ago this week, we defended John Scopes in the Scopes "Monkey Trial" after he was charged with teaching evolution, which was banned under Tennessee law. Today, we're still fighting to keep religious doctrine out of public education.

Congestion pricing by the # ‘s 6 months in: * 67k fewer drivers entering zone daily * Delays in Holland Tunnel down 65% * Traffic deaths down 32% so far in 2025 * $500m projected this year for MTA capital improvements * B’way attendance +12% * Subway ridership +7% So yes this program is a SUCCESS.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Think about how insane this is. I know we normalize every abnormal thing Trump does, & he floods the zone & numbs us, but a leading media organizing rolling over & agreeing to pay $16m to the president because he didn’t like how they edited an interview?? What country is this?

Apparently the baby staghorn fern had some friends over in its pot! Slime mold party 🏮🎉 #slimemold #fungifriends #Cribrariacancellata #fungifriends

They are growing! 🤗🐛🦋 #gardening #invertebrate #butterfly #macro 📷

The monarchs quickly found the thin-leaf milkweed my wife planted to lure them in and apparently it was acceptable enough for their eggs. Now we have caterpillars 🐛🦋😍 #caterpiller #monarch #butterflies #gardening #invertebrates #macro

The #vermicompost chronicles: worms seem happy, the bin is holding up just fine 😃 #gardening #woodworking 🪱🌱

Can you guess which basil pot got the vermicompost treatment a week ago? I’ve now used up my old compost and I’m waiting impatiently for the wormies to make some more 😅 🪱🌱 #gardening #basil #composting #vermicompost

Like cicadas emerging every 13 to 17 years, every 2 or 3 years or so Silicon Valley emerges to reinvent the bus.

The worms moved in today! I separated the old compost into finished and unfinished parts and then topped off the unfinished part with some clippings. #composting #vermicompost #gardening 🪱🌱

Finished drilling the wormholes in the separators 😆, then applied tung oil, in hopes of prolonging the usable life of the composting bin. I’ll wait a few more days for things to cure enough before relocating the wormies. #vermicompost #gardening #diy #woodworking 🪱🌱
