Thank you for your work.

We have an indoor air quality monitor as well (from IQAir) and it compares inside/outside. We’ve spent a lot of $ and time making our inside air safe. Replacement windows, heat pump with HEPA filtration, etc. Once you start paying attention to this stuff you realize how bad it is.

clean air and it never got there… it was better north of Bodega Bay but even so there was PM2.5 hanging in the air. There has been little to no reporting about it and people don’t seem to understand. I rely on Purple Air.

It’s been bad for 2 weeks in the Bay Area and it’s very unusual. It’s terrible in the Central Valley as usual. It’s not due to any big fires. It’s an inversion that is holding all the pollution from cars and wood burning fireplaces over us. On Saturday I drove north to the Sonoma coast to try for…

This sounded very melodious until the Steller’s Jays arrived (3) and started squawking! My Bird of the Day is just visiting, a migrant to this cloud forest on a hill in San Francisco.

Wow. I know the Valley suffers a lot more with this and I sure do feel for folks there.

20 min later. It’s back to PM2.5 of zero inside, due to our system running for a bit. The monitor is near our 1927 front door, so there is a bit of leakage from outdoors. Apparently there is a weather inversion holding all the pollution down over us that would normally be blown away by winds.

It’s been like this for a week here in San Francisco. Our indoor air has a PM2.5 of 6, which is low but is usually zero due to our filtered electric heat pump system & new replacement windows. It’s bad outside. Someone’s nearby outside monitor’s at 68, but Purple Air thinks it’s much worse. So do I.

Not satisfied with throwing around money to take over San Francisco elections and government, this *South African IMMIGRANT* (just like Thiel and Musk) is trying to move our whole country “to the right.” Demonizing immigrants while handing our country over to racist billionaire immigrants!

He has a really bad personality. Ugh

Just ordered from Bookshop.org! Thank you, can’t wait to check it out. Love your photos.

Recipe and her comments as posted on Kamala Harris’s Instagram account in 2020: "Kamala’s Cornbread Dressing Ingredients: 2 (8-ounce) packages of cornbread mix (I like the good, old-fashioned mix. I’m not going to do product placement here, but the name starts with a “J!”) 1 pound spicy pork sausage (I recommend hot Italian sausage) 2 onions, chopped (My husband Doug helps me wiht this part, as long as he gets to wear his onion goggles) 2 apples, cored and chopped (Don’t forget to buy local — now is a great time for California apples!)
4 celery stalks, diced 
3/4 cup chicken broth (This should be home-made, if possible. The broth I make after I roast a chicken for my family is perfect for dressing, and makes great matzo ball and tortilla soup — recipes I’ll have to share with you in the future!)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped 
2 teaspoon sage 
1/2 teaspoon thyme 
1/2 teaspoon rosemary (Note: I grow sage, thyme, and rosemary in my backyard and use that. If you have access to fresh herbs, chop them and double the amount)
Salt and pepper to taste Directions: * Bake your cornbread according to the instructions on the package. This can be done the day before. Once it’s cooled, crumble it. * Take the sausage out of its casing, crumble it, and brown it in a little oil. When it’s cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove it from the pan and set it aside. * Sauté the vegetables and apples in the remaining oil. Cooking these in the same pan not only saves water, but helps us stick to my Uncle Freddie’s rule: wash every dish immediately after you use it! * Mix that with the sausage, cornbread crumbs, melted butter, herbs, and chicken broth. * Put the mixture in a baking dish and bake at 375°F for about 40 minutes.”

Here is the recipe as VP Kamala Harris posted it on her IG back in 2020.

Kamala's Cornbread Dressing - my contribution for tomorrow's Thanksgiving dinner at our cousin's house. That's why I needed the fresh herbs. See reply for recipe!

Wish she could have been our President 😭

Four small dishes of chopped herbs on a cutting board: parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme, destined to be part of “Kamala’s Cornbread Dressing” for Thanksgiving.

Cook’s palette. Fresh parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme from my garden.

Tears flowed in S.F. courtroom as immigration judge was fired mid-hearing The San Francisco judge said the “dismantling” of the immigration court was preceded by “inhumane” workloads and trauma-filled workdays.

Trump admin has fired 12 judges in San Francisco’s immigration court this year. They don’t want *any* immigration, only deportations. ICE grabs people and disappears them when they show up for their hearings. Appalling and unacceptable!

Lucky boy! Enjoy!

Also NO he is not “the most powerful man in science!” He is a charlatan and you know it.

No. The answer is no. And you could save us all the need to ratio your posts by understanding this simple fact. “Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."

Screen shot from Digital Democracy website published by CalMatters: “This display uses data to sort the Top 10 and Bottom 10 legislators according to various criteria. Filter by Oil Money (last session). #1 Jasmeet Bains (D) Assembly District 35

Unfortunately, in CA, it’s not just Republicans. The #1 recipient of oil & gas money in CA legislature this past quarter was Jasmeet Bains, whom the CA Dem establishment has endorsed to flip CA-22 (@Villegas4Congress.bsky.social is better!) See lists at bottom:

Appalling. Unfortunately, I wasted precious time in my life reading this series of pieces ridiculously conflating MAHA and people who actually understand science and promote organic food. How dare you even bring up Michelle Obama. Do not recommend. Shame on you, Atlantic.

Heroes! Thank you.

Wonderful! If you could have just 4 shots to tell the whole story…yours are perfect.

Sure is noisy there in your aviary!
