Trusts, wills, & probate law in SoCal. Kiddos, native plant conservation, skiing, cycling, and meteorology in the meantime.
Something I (an enviro with 2 kids and another en route) explain to child-wary enviros — like, do you think the folks in red hats are not having kids because of climate change??

If you don’t want kids, don’t have kids. But to be against kids because of the climate crisis is, politically, foolish.

My British wife’s aunt from Bristol is visiting us on holiday. Lovely lady. We go out for local pizza — our (deservedly) hyped local LA spot that I’m raving to her about before the pies arrive.

“But really, Joey….it’s all just the same thing, pizza, isn’t it?”

Reader, I nearly died.

Something I’m annoyingly bullish about: biking in LA!

While I’d love for that to be about policy + infrastructure (i.e., Measure HLA, the 710 Multi-Model project thru the eastside, LA River Bikeway Extension, Olympic streamlining) — those are necessary but not sufficient factors…

We asked our now 4-year old (😭😭😭😭) what he wanted to do for his birthday. He coulda said: Disneyland, a toy store, McDonalds, a playground. All reasonable options.

But no: “I want to go on a bus into the city and eat a bagel. Maybe go to a museum?”

Truly a boy after my own urbanism-loving heart

Longtime (mostly) lurker at Twitter but may have a go at more posting here, we’ll see!

Nice to see familiar faces on a friendlier platform too. X’s user experience is now just an assault on the senses.

I wish it weren’t so, tho — it’s an awful time to silo off politically.

But alas, c’est Elon.
