Hundreds of crows are visible outside the SFO International Airport. Some are flying in a big group in the sky and dozens of others sit on top of the BART train, on the roofs, and on every other visible surface.

(Zoom in to see the crows waiting to ride the BART train!)

How a House of Prime Rib cocktail waitress kicked up a political storm in S.F. City Hall Julia Baran, who bought a pet store from Beya Alcaraz, said her father advised her not to go public with what she knew about the San Francisco supervisor, who resigned after a week on the job.

At no point did I know where this story was going next.

This is so touching. Thank you for sharing, and thank you to your wife for honoring KitKat!

Unfortunately, the housing voucher program is all we've got, and it's at risk of massive cuts unless Congress passes the FY26 HUD Spending Bill.

Please check out this advocacy toolkit from @nlihc.org and call your reps!

"As rent costs rise each year, increased funding is necessary to maintain assistance. Flat funding reduces ... available vouchers."

Absolutely insane that the U.S. government pays increasing amounts of $$ to private landlords each year rather than operating social housing.

Mainstream media loves doom, despair, and a sensational headline. But hopelessness is their tool, not ours. Meet COYOTE's First Aid Kit, our service journalism series where we'll pursue intersectional, evidence-based, and sometimes light-hearted solutions to the challenges of living in the Bay Area.

Introducing COYOTE's First Aid Kit A how-to guide to surviving in the Bay Area.

Even when @coyotemedia.org was just a little baby pup of an idea I knew I wanted service journalism to be a major part of it. Today I'm thrilled to introduce our First Aid Kit: an acknowledgement of today's challenges, and a rejection of despair.

very funny to read these emails and then remember summers wondering whether the leaky pipeline in stem was because women are inherently bad at math

I’m at a family wedding in Mexico City, and I was just asked about “the robot car that killed the cat in San Francisco.”

The idea that sexual abuse is part of “private” life instead of a public crisis has done incalculable damage. Anti-rape activists have to fight to even make it possible to expose sexual abuse as a wrongdoing in public without being silenced and undermined. That fight is far from won

How Jess Rowe and Miriam Payne made history rowing the Pacific Ocean It took Jess Rowe and Miriam Payne six months, plenty of snacks and sleepless nights to row from Peru to Australia

From @theathletic.com: Two British women made history by becoming the first female crew to successfully row non-stop and unsupported across the Pacific Ocean. To grasp the magnitude of their feat, more people have walked in space than successfully rowed across the world’s biggest ocean.

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

I did a lot of voter outreach on Prop 50. So many people (normies 😊) said it didn’t go far enough. Wanted to talk about California secession. People are PISSED.
