Lol Tribeca. What happened. The artist who lived in that loft two residents before you would be aghast. This is 50 years of art and gentrification theory come to life. Sharon Zukin's Loft Living on a map. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

First ever Hiroshima Pride parade! 🏳️🌈 So thrilled to witness and be part of this on Saturday. It was a sight to have the parade go through Hondori, the central shopping street, and take over Alice Garden, a prominent public hangout space. Yay for these organizers! ✊✊

A throwback - crossing time and space from the New York City East Village to the Japanese high street.

I visited Altadena yesterday, six months after the Eaton fire. Much waste and debris cleanup has been completed by the EPA and Army Corps. It's quiet with the humming and shuddering of the odd excavator here and there. I felt mainly sadness and a kind of desolation.

I drew some of the original design competition diagrams and renderings for the Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle more than 20 years ago. Fun to come back here all these years later with these little ones.

Omg heartwarming parent moment 🥰🥰🥰. Our 3yo lost her fav bunny at a school festival today and was having a hard bedtime. My partner posted about it on the local mom's group, and someone replied in 5 minutes. I picked bunny up and returned her to a happy and relieved kid.
