Fucking brutal, man

When you come back through the Bay Area, let's have a San Pablo Day! We can celebrate your wonderful book!

And I'm committed to the @catranslation.org Kim Hyesoon event on the 26th while she's going to @transitbooks.bsky.social's The Coldest Winter event that night but... after-party meet ups seem likely.... 🥰

@categoryofoutcast.bsky.social are you coming out to Local Economy that night??

ALSO, Leah (sp?) who was at the Harvest & I just did a deep dive & now she's coming to the Zyzzyva event at LE next week & I'm coaxing a vibe report for @oaklandreviewofbooks.org from her on book club on The Light Eaters that starts at TEN PM on a FRIDAY!

OMG yes, remember the Nicola and Geoff book event in the parking lot behind vintage Berkeley that he set up? That was awesome.

So in conclusion, support local wine and food folks, and they'll show up for your bookish gatherings, and then you can go have a glass of wine with them and run into more folks you know, and keep it circulating. And yay Dan, can't wait to check out Best Friends on Solano!! 3/3

So I'm like I know you but how, and saying who I am, that we are in the Vintage Berkeley wine club & I work at @heydaybooks.com, and then the woman serving at Broc is like, "oh yeah! I thought I recognized you! I went to the Heyday event in the fall with Alice Waters!" 2/3

Oh I wondered what was going on! So smoggy Mt Tam is all blurry from Oakland rn.

whomst has not chinooked themselves, really.

This made my day

It's a good pile, full of treasure

I've been reading Awake in the Floating City by Susanna Kwan, which imagines a future San Francisco flooded, deluged, where people eat mushrooms that just grow out of the walls of the tower apartment where they live....

this is so interesting

let's consult calendars! it might could work

Now THAT is an author following his destiny to write about the occult: Jason Ananda Josephson Storm -- what a great name.

thank you for surfacing this!

here is the CalFlora range map! I think you'll be right in the right spot, it's just a matter of timing. Everything's a ltitle early this year, but so far what's been posted on iNat is observations of leaves only www.calflora.org/app/taxon?cr...
