To help offset cuts in federal funding, I just bumped up my monthly support to @kvprnews.bsky.social, our local public radio station that provides crucial local news coverage (as well as the full suite of excellent @npr.org programming).‬

I saw this post just minutes after receiving TWO text messages in a row about unpaid tolls. Don't fall for it.

San Francisco Chronicle @sfchronicle.com · Feb 24

Road toll scams that besieged the Bay Area and and other parts of the country last year have ramped up again, with insistent text messages that demand payment — and sometimes threaten penalties.

Bay Area FasTrak scams are surging — again: ‘It’s been nonstop’

I’ve been telling my Dad (who lives across the country) that and he thinks I’m crazy. After this, he just texted me: “You can fly now. The planes can land safely upside down if the runways are bad.” That’s still a big NOPE.

Happy birthday, Mychal! So glad you are here.

If you know anyone who has deactivated their #Facebook account, let them know they should double check. Someone close to me deactivated his account TWICE now, but it's come back to life. Tomorrow he is DELETING it. Shady practices by #Meta, #MarkZuckerberg

"Might be a politician
Tryna say something new.
Might be your decision
Now you've got to see it through.
Looks like a collision
Ain't the worst that you could do.
Might be bad, might be good.
Big change is coming to you."

Have you seen the "Home" episode yet? THAT one is traumatizing. I think they were even banned from reshowing it on TV for a while.

This situation has been on my mind as I contemplate whether to fly to visit my Dad in Georgia this summer. And if we drove (not feasible for a weeklong vacation) there isn't even any midway destination where I would want to meet my dad between here and there.

Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.

5 Calls

Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Outside of USAID headquarters, Senator Brian Schatz:

"If you want to change an agency, introduce a bill and pass a law. You cannot wave away an agency that you don't like or that you disagree with by executive order, or by literally storming into the building and taking over the servers."

#MemoryWall: I came up with this idea back in August, and have been slowly working toward this point. It will continue to evolve, but this is its first iteration. Remembering Mom, Sean, Barbara, Uncle Don, Patrick, and my grandparents.

#NormalizeGrief

Memory wall on either side of a window with photos and mementos of lost loved ones.

Everything is doomscrolling right now. I get it. Have you had anything to eat today or a glass of water? How about planning an offline activity this weekend, like reading a book, taking a walk, or going to a museum?
