getting @oaklandreviewofbooks.org started with several amazing local writers and editors!

charli’s new single is so good and threatens to make me an angel again. maybe i will become unalienated from the charli xcx logo tattoo that i got in summer 2021. though i remain firmly committed to me analysis that hot girl (summer 2022)-brat (through grammys 2025) marks a low point in her output

zohran winning, rosalía's new album, a single from hilary duff.... it's giving libido. the drive to live life is back on the menu

skeptical of any narrative that says the reason why trump isn't sending the nat'l guard to SF anymore is because of "people power." it was because of the power of capitalists. delusional thinking is not going to help us win

Dancers in the dark With screenings across the city, the San Francisco Dance Film Festival blends movement, music, and the movies

new coffee/wine place in downtown berkeley rocks from the perspective of buying a cute and tiny good-quality matcha at 10am, triggering from the perspective of overhearing UCB undergrads cosplaying adults and referring to “this stage of life”

i've decided any first-person critique of technology that is resigned to its problems without giving any space towards the very real option to just put your phone down is intellectually bankrupt. addictions are real, social infrastructure is real, but so are choices. no one is coming to save us :-)

i'm writing for the internet again, doing the devil's work (attending tech week)

i forgot to pick a photo for "social" so here's my yuba river selfie and this week's roundup.

i’ve had to work on-site in downtown oakland for the past couple weeks. feeling the rto > feeling the agi. parking lots full by 9 am. line for banh mis 9 people deep at 12:15. a glimmer of “bustle” at the 12th street/broadway intersection.

a bit of an events lull this weekend -- a beginning-of-summer breather before all calendars start bursting next week

Inaugural Weekly Roundup May 15-May 21

i've been writing an intermittent newsletter for over a year but have refused to publicize it. i'm now surrendering to a desire to expand my audience and return to the world of posting. i'm writing about the bay area, broadly, and today starts week 1 of a shorter form links/events roundup...!
