Same here. A good salad now, with bright and fresh flavors is like a shock to my system - a jolt of joy. 112lbs down and I skip past foods that used to own me. Not even mentioning alcohol (of which I am totally free of). Life changing indeed.

Make one for your town. Tell me the folks I’ve missed in SF.

Denying people healthcare is violence.

sure, of course. i was a wine director and folks were often paralyzed by french pronunciation and would often have them imagine a french person (who didn't speak english) try to pronounce hot dog.

Or, god forbid a Brazilian say Germany (Alemanha) or a German say Germany (Deutschland). I imagine if you're speaking English you say it in English and if you're speaking German you say it in German. Ad infinitum.

have you ever heard a Korean person say West Philadelphia?

I build up a "new" bike - a 1990 (I think) Trek 520. Recovering from minor hand surgery and trying to get my hands stronger and it's feeling pretty good! San Francisco is shiny today.

To Save Small Business, SF Needs to Unplug From Its Amazon Addiction Hit hard, local merchants want less red tape, more protection, and more parking. Here’s another idea: customers should stop shopping online.

You could build a thriving community then tenderly shame your community for funding billionaires and propping up fascists? It's the Scenic Routes way. thefrisc.com/to-save-smal...

We all need to become eco-populists. That means championing policies that significantly lower daily costs while lowering emissions. Heat Pumps for All, alongside much more robust tenant rights; free and better public transit; price caps on green energy; make polluters pay for the transition.

YouTube video by Christopher Owens - Topic I Think About Heaven

If you're a San Franciscan of a certain age (or an anyone of an any age) take a few moments and listen Christopher Owen's new record I Wanna Run Barefoot Through Your Hair. My favorite song - www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIpz...

Continuous line drawing of a hare in an expired Polaroid w/ a tan background & white border.

If you spend over $100, not only will you be helping in a huge way w/ overdue bills & a chewy order, but I’ll also draw on an expired Polaroid for you.

I know autocorrect jokes are very 2016 but here we are - I never ever will mean to say “sing song” - I always mean “ding dong”. Thank you and good night.

This article sounds like it was written by Eli Lilly.

the theocrats i wrote about are building their cruel kingdom for their cruel god

Well, the polls seem to have been right about Schrödinger’s fascism, at least

What Ta-Nehisi Coates is doing, using his standing in the liberal mainstream to enter rarefied mainstream spaces to speak out on behalf of Palestinians, even though those spaces will be invariably hostile and even perhaps subsequently foreclosed to him, is incredible

Mary's moving in and got us this lovely print from
@erinmalone.bsky.social I saw on here the other day. What a great house-making present.

I hope this means by 2032 I'll be able to ride my bike to Yosemite from SF without a death wish.

Oh, thanks for the reminder! I just preordered the audiobook of Wild Faith. Very much looking forward to it.

NY Bluesky is having a blast tonight.

I mean...I mean, I also Like hot dog best and hamburger next best.

If you're not on the new Hyperfixed podcast train, you're missing out. Or if podcasts aren't your thing you could try to melt you face off with this sick song - soundcloud.com/slowfawns/ba...

I’m gonna talk about podcast economics. Right now everyone at @hyperfixedpod.bsky.social including me are being paid the same. It’s a day rate which I calculated by taking a yearly salary by the number of work days in a year (260) to come up with the day rate of $288.

Nice saddle. How's your butt?

This is terrifying and deeply unsettling to listen to but sounds remarkably like Trump and Vance.

Do you know about this guy who mods frames and forks to accept wider tires? He may have given up because it's too hard/too much work but a very cool idea. www.eerdermetaal.nl/brompton_win...
