When someone comes to SF, extracts all the value they can out of it, and then moves so they can horde that wealth, it’s not “goodbye.” It’s “be eating you later.”
Hope the Dilbert guy is kicking off a new rule of 3 cycle.

I’m not sad, but I’m nowhere near as jazzed as the last one.

“Why I’m moving out of SF … The tax on income above $600,000 is too high.” BYE BITCH.

Me this morning: hmmm let’s go to a different cafe this morning, it keeps the mind limber.

But I can still have a little sub-posting… as a treat.

Something on LinkedIn has chapped my ass, but I’m finally getting paid enough to take the high road.

One day, I will remember to tell doctors I am allergic to latex adhesive. Today, however, I’m covered in EKG sticker-shaped splotches.

Maybe 2026 will be the year I figure out my personal style for my 40s. I’m working on something I’m calling “boho but mean.”

I’ve been in close proximity to the general traveling public too long and must get home before my inside thoughts get out.

Finishing Stranger Things. #Spoiler but…

Will’s coming out was super sweet and Winona Ryder is up there with Olivia Coleman in the ranks of TV moms I’d want to come out to.

They were amazing!

I love my husband too much to divorce him for not letting me brush out the snorkel marks before posting these, but not so much that I won’t hold onto this for a long time.
Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary should just advertise itself as "BIRDS WILL LAND ON YOU LIKE A DISNEY PRINCESS".

Anyone else get the bsky bug where full screen video controls disappear leaving you trapped in the video modal until you force restart?

All the reviews I saw for Keeper were mid but I thought it was a good slow burn.

Check your bag if you want to
We’re short on stowage space
It’s a full flight, so if you don’t mind
Just roll it to the gate

Check your bag
Check your bag…
We are low on space

Check your bag
Check your bag…
Or we will take off late

Finally watching Talamasca. It’s pretty good so far.

Feeling like it's time to go up in fanciness from my Olympus, which I love. I just hate how every brand has a different mount so I'll be starting from scratch on lenses :'(

They might be phasing the new brand in with a superficial coat of paint and then going back to address the details that aren’t gelling.

Only time will tell.

The rebrand as proposed is very current. Definitely a little discordant (intentionally) but in a way there’s a lot of industry precedent for.

I do not see what was pitched on the site beyond color and fonts. Something got lost in translation there… OR…

Genuinely sad to hear of Claude’s passing. He lived longer than an albino alligator likely would have in the wild but not long enough. San Francisco will cherish his memory for many more decades to come.
Claude the albino alligator is dead

My story with @aidinvaziri.bsky.social

Lots of cool facts from biologists I've interviewed. Claude knew his name & briefly had a pit-mate named "Bonnie." Most common question from guests: "Is he real?"

RIP to an SF icon
