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.”

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.”

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.

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?

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.

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
