I’m documenting the Ohlone shellmound-to-shellmound Black Friday march.
Ohlone are the indigenous group whose land is from Big Sur to the Bay and shellmounds were sacred burial sites that a parking lot (Berkeley) and a mall (Emery Bay) were built on. There’s only a memorial left in Emery:

Nothing is more excruciating than hearing your voice in an interview recording where you're unsuccessfully trying to buddy up to the source.

Do you know how absolutely wild it is to ask journalists to be ‘objective’ on this president?

You ever think about how people’s descriptions of ghosts always include clothes? Like: is there some kind of mall for ghosts, but it’s always Victorian clothing? Why no nakee?

I just tried to search what Megyn Kelly said and came across insufferable political ‘comedy’ BlueSky, whereby every genius came up with Megyn R. Kelly.
