Thank you! It was a very challenging article to write (extremely white man here), but my Ohlone / Indigenous collaborators helped me so much.

It’s very fun to see this all in print and I can’t wait to learn more about the neighborhood and fold in members of the community.

It was a nod to the past, the origins of the land. And I also visited the Oakland Tech High School journalism class, where I recruited students to write for the paper. A nod to the future.

I started my tenure by doing a deep dive on the Indigenous history of Rockridge — intentionally highlighting that the current, oft-debated land use issues that plague the neighborhood pertain to a land that belongs to the Ohlone.

Sweater and shorts was always my jam in those moments

Young women concerned about old white men making legislation about their own bodies. Louisiana was the red state farthest from any state where abortion was legal. And this is what they want to censor?

Throw it at a cop and get away with it. I dare you.
