There was an ugly orange plastic gorilla figurine at the thrift store. 9 yo, pointing it out, “oh that looks like trump!”

What’s with all the helicopters rn #oakland?

Lots of great signs, one of my faves was “join the resistance” held by a woman in full Jedi robes #nokings

#nokings #oakland felt very big! There’s an timelapse overhead view on bluesky that shows it was big indeed.

Very chill. Of course the marching band was there! #oakland

@roguelazer yeah bart and ac transit were not prepared! We gave up and walked.

Took the whole family to a beautiful gay wedding this weekend. First wedding the kids have been to (at least that they’re old enough to remember)! #lovewins

1. Saw a new beetle. It looked a bit like a roach tbh but it is some sort of a giant water beetle, so that’s kinda cool.

2. The baby bean plants are, with encouragement, starting to twine up the supports.

3. I haven’t run out of new ideas yet.

@amorphophalex my cat loves the dirt. He rolls in it. Funny guy.

Finally saw Sinners (on film, in a beautiful movie theater, full of fellow humans!)

I normally bike to carpool/school/bart/pickups on thursdays anyway, but there was definitely a lot more bike traffic than usual! #biketoWhereverDay #biketooting

I really have more of these than I need but I can’t help myself! They’re so cute!

I can’t find it now, but to whoever suggested obsidian to me, while it wasn’t the solution for my weird grocery list request, I think it *is* the solution to my mess of bits of writing,
So thank you for turning me on to it!

@sudo200 @null_hypothesis @Em0nM4stodon right?!??

@geekysteven I think about this with houseplants, too

Yesterday I took a walk in a butterfly garden instead of going shopping for pants. It was a good decision.

@mikec415 once you’ve seen this you can’t unsee it 😑

@LeftCoast sounds south and west of there, west oakland, even SF? Can’t tell.

Why are there fireworks ? #oakland

One guy was dressed in a suit, telling people “everything is fine!”, handing out fake money. He has red paint on his hands like blood. People were doing double takes.
