One of my favorite businesses in SF Japantown is Maruwu Seicha. Awesome cheese tarts and matcha drinks.

A reminder of what the Bay looked like before environmental regulation—open dumping of industrial waste, raw sewage, and fuel, and constant oil spills.

Before EPA and laws like the Clean Water Act, America's waters were choked with pollution. Ohio's Cuyahoga River, which became a symbol of environmental degradation in the 60s, was so polluted that it repeatedly caught fire.

Today, it's estimated that the #CleanWaterAct alone prevents 700 *billion* pounds of toxic pollution from entering US waters every single year.

We MUST defend these vital laws and institutions.

Lindsey Wildlife Museum 🦉 watercolor

I painted the Lindsay Wildlife Museum several years ago. It's now called Lindsay Wildlife Experience. A wonderful place to learn about local wildlife. I have such great memories of taking my kids there.

- Try to boycott #Google, there are other search engines. #SergeyBrin, co-founder of #Alphabet, which owns Google, #Gmail, #Android, and #YouTube. #DuckDuckGo, for example, has been recommended by a supporter.
- Boycott #Apple Products! #TimCook, CEO and major shareholder of Apple, donated to Trump’s inauguration and is reported to have developed a "personal relationship" with Trump.
- Don’t shop at #Walmart! Walmart, owned by the ultra-rich #Walton family, pays its employees so poorly that many of them are on food stamps.
- Don’t shop at #Target! Target, which has stopped selling #LGBTQ merchandise due to right wing pressure."

Pre-weeding view of my front yard. Weeds are good indicators, as the saying goes. Going to have some rosehip cake now. #bayarea #gardening


Toxic waste cleanups take longer in marginalized Bay Area communities--and even simple remediations lag at sites in socially vulnerable areas.

Affluent communities can exert pressure on regulators to act, as our scientist Ian Wren said. Resource-strapped agencies will not manage a site proactively unless a community forces them to do so.

"It's really a case of, the squeaky wheel gets the cleanup,” he said.

NEW DATA ANALYSIS: Toxic cleanups take longer in marginalized communities, shows a Public Press analysis of more than 20K #BayArea sites. Experts warn that prolonged toxic exposure as a result of slow cleanups can increase the risk of illness for nearby residents.

#seattle crew: i need the BEST rec you have for an ENT doctor / surgeon team. i need major nose surgery and i think my doc is not good. from my past exp going into surgeries, if im vibing the doc out as not ok, i need a second opinion.

i’m also willing to travel to #portland #sf #bayarea locations bc the surgery is that intensive and im not messing around with my face or breathing. so if anyone from that area has recs, im all ears 😀

R.I.P. to D’Wayne Wiggins, singer and guitarist of the #BayArea group, Tony! Toni! Toné!. They were Oaktown's top New Jack Swing band back in the late 1980s. Loved their sound.

Bay Area folks, if we organize a Kagi meetup, would you attend?

If you’re in the San Francisco Bay Area and you’re interested in the future of news, you might be interested in an event @SFPublicPress is hosting. On March 13, there’ll be a special screening of “Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink,” a documentary by Academy Award-nominee Rick Goldsmith, about hedge fund Alden Global Capital, which has been gutting local papers across America.

“Two #BayArea #tech giants announce huge layoffs at almost exact same moment: #SanFrancisco design #software company #Autodesk is slashing about 1,350 workers, while #PaloAlto mainstay #HP is expanding its ongoing cuts by up to 2,000 people”

“…the executive joins a trend of shedding staff to reallocate resources toward #AI

Late with this article, still think this isn’t a co-ordinated program?

"One of San Francisco's best burgers wasn't available to the public for 69 years"

I'm not much of a foodie but the idea of a burger shaped like a hotdog served on a hotdog bun sounds fun. Next time I'm near the #BayArea, I'll have to check it out.

3. The Chocolate Dragon cafe in Rockridge is the lower priced chocolate cafe I prefer over SF’s Dandelion. The European style Bittersweet hot chocolate is better and cheaper. They also carry a massive range of chocolate from around the world, including Fossa (Singapore) brand’s ’soy milk and youtiao’ flavor chocolate bar.

This neighborhood is so nice

Wife birthday weekend!

1. I got a local SE Asian illustrator (Teo Octavia) to draw us + our pets

teooctavia.art

I got it printed by Golden State Coop, which can do all the print and scan and dev (also for film)

I’ve been quite busy lately so I’ve been outsourcing work to them, otherwise I’d have printed this myself (printing is one of my many hobbies)

Supporting creatives is one of the things I can and want to do in this time
