Anyway, set fire to the exploitative warehouses and the concentration camps and the fucking data centers and shoot for the fucking stars my dudes

the moon flight has been so beautiful and inspiring. let’s do more radical science things together ✨

i mean, i am v excited to be working on a print feature but yahhhh, i could use some quick money in the meantime, the freelancers dream!

there was some dumb stuff during the seo-driven era of the internet but as a freelancer, man i miss those easy, quick-money assignments. i could use a few of those about now!

i just looked up the rent for a new building i see on my rides all the time and lol it is 4750-6k per month idk who is going to pay that good luck developer people

😂😂😂

quads are bad. four fins is too many fins. (niche take but that’s me, niche girl)

This is so well-written and also man, I am so bummed out about this one. Just fucking crushing.

I do this, too, but I understand how right now, when jobs are super, super scarce, some writers are just going for it, whether or not they have subject matter knowledge. Hoping somehow we figure out how to pay for media better than we do now!

huh. so when the giant national forest lands near where i live catch on fire -- which they will, because they catch on fire pretty much all the time -- we're just gona stand around and watch that happen? cool plan, no notes, glad to live here

"Kathy Ryan was a surfer married to a dentist named Roger, who had a side hustle making gold wedding rings for their circle of friends. Roger once tried to dig a bomb shelter in their backyard on Archer Street in Pacific Beach. It became the foundation for a trampoline instead." Here's a story ✨

anyway the go-go's were a hell of a band happy to have a reason to revisit 'em this afternoon

so i was looking at 80s music for one of my jobs and this go-go's video for vacation is such a journey! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RHT...

"We all have ideas, and plugging them into a sentient woodchipper that’s been force-fed everyone’s mostly read copies of Infinite Jest isn’t what makes them real." Love this essay from @nikostratis.com about writing and work, the values we assign to each. www.anxietyshark.ca/solve-for-wo...

California bike friends! If you like ebikes and would like to keep them, this is worth a look!

"When I say I am a literary assassin for hire, I mean that shit. *smokes cig* It's all I know." What a great conversation about many things I have been thinking about *a lot* lately. For reasons (gestures widely) "This is when you just have to be a fucking artist" is also one hell of a line.

Anthropology of Turquoise is one of my favorite essay collections. It's beautifully written. Recommend.

well. anyway. i'm going to watch a surf film with friends tonight i hope you have something good to do, too

the world's burning, i'm just over here telling my little stories idk what else we do

This is a story about a nude painting and the ways that memory plays tricks on us all.

A truly stunning image from #Artemis II. One of the most beautiful photos I've ever seen. The moon as dilated pupil in a cosmic eye. A black pearl lifted by a wave of light. Our silver sister: bleak, battered, breathless — yes — yet graceful, resplendent, entrancing, and utterly sublime.

All of these images are wondrous, but I think this is my favorite. What a beautiful world. www.nasa.gov/image-detail... From the beautiful collection of flyby images here. www.nasa.gov/gallery/luna...

buncha poets out there lookin' at the moon <3

the moon thing is good. we could do more good things together, maybe

the pictures from artemis ii are truly beautiful www.nasa.gov/gallery/jour...

this looks like an insanely cool job

this sounds super cool!

Oh man, this is just such a lovely way to characterize being a writer, and why so many of us reject the idea of turning our work over to the robots.

science is cool and we should have more of it

it is very wholesome here this afternoon. yay space!

i am trying to set up an in-person interview for a surfing story and it is going about as well as you might imagine

like hello cute squash it's been a long time so nice to see you again

i mighta bought too many vegetables at farmers market today early spring is dangerous

Please vote for my Darién Gap series (a dream worth dying for) if you have time. i don’t really expect to get recognition for this kinda work, God knows we didn’t for years, but it makes me happy to see more people care about my friends and their stories. vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting...

@waves-sf.bsky.social Heyyy have you seen any good reporting on the candidates for governor? i just keep seeing the national outlets dooming over the republicans, etc, but man, I could use some good info on the people running, for reals. Askin' on main so anyone else can join with info, too :)

like i only have one phd but....

👀👀

Today in silly driver tricks, I was waiting to make an unprotected left turn -- it's a chill road, so I follow car rules -- and an oncoming car who had the right of way, stopped and waved me through the intersection. People, this is not how any of this works! You have green light! You go!

Periodically, I have a dream where I'm in an airplane but instead of flying, we are like, just driving around on surface streets and my brain does the whole comic book picture of the plane on the road with the cars. And I usually wake up laughing because it just so completely ridiculous.

At no kings here, there were lots of local orgs circulating through the crowd with hand-outs and petitions, which was great to see.

I've spent so much time in recent years at events held in parking lots because there aren't cheap spaces to do stuff like readings or show films. I can remember seeing shows in big, if shabby coffee shops, but those spaces are gone here now. Cheap rent made lots of these things possible.

our no kings has music this time which is fun! plus, local orgs are tabling. good vibes all around ✨

Niche bike thing: Sorry to see Paragon shut down. They supplied so many indie frame builders in the US. If you have a metal bike made by a small shop here, it's likely there's a Paragon component on that bike somewhere.

this looks amazing if you happen to be in the pnw zone!

on the plus side, thanks to the usc debate fandango i finally know who's running for governor ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

somewhat related, i think i've maybe exhausted my "fool" voice. of course saying that, i'm sure i'll do something stupid real soon that will require me to break that thing right on out

i used to write a column called "chain of fools" about bikes. if you'd like a silly read for your monday, i got you. twobluebikes.com/2026/03/17/h...

my hoody string just fell in my coffee happy monday

if we start a thing and no one sees it did even happen
