My fave assignment for #OaklandMagazine was writing a piece on Oakland’s 7th Street history as simulated by #Cal architecture & journalism students.

Rereading now while writing a #creativenonfiction book.

Have you played this game? If so, LMK:

“[Telling the truth] means using language to describe the nuances and complexities of a party, a person, a phenomenon…to be able to note the contradictions and anomalies and exceptions, to keep your generalizations from sweeping up too many of those contradictions into too tidy a package.”

The #BlackPantherPartyMuseum writes: “Come create poetry, prints, and buttons with us inspired by the Panthers archives honoring the power of art in movement work.”

A poster featuring a collage of black-and-white images of Black people as a crowd, some with raised right arms and open-mouths, all with focused faces. The words, “Rank & File” appear in a mustard-colored font and style reminiscent of the 1970s on the left side. A cardinal-red background also features the same lettering that reads the following on the right side: “Archival Poetry in Action at the Black Panther Party Museum, October 12, 1–1:30 PM.” Just above a man appears a logo with “30 Years” legible as the BPP celebrates its 30th anniversary.

So, as part of Taylor Swift's album rollout, there was a scavenger hunt involving videos that looked *really* AI-generated. So #SwiftiesAgainstAI became a thing and now the videos are impossible to find. Fandom outrage can be good!

Yeah outta towners who don’t look at the connectivity of Oakland from dumpers who swing by via major highways (i.e. MacArthur Maze). Same narrative as protest looters. So disappointing but not surprising.

The title page of _No Straight Road Takes You There_ features a white background with thin black lines spelling “Patsy” amidst the cradling, liberating flourishes of rebecca Solnit’s initials.
