I mostly post about gardens, animals and basketball (mute the 🏀 symbol if you don't care to hear about it). Sometimes cocktails, music, or history.

These are probably pretty nice in person since Oaklandish is making them, but some of the other items are *not good*. 90 bucks for this Nike hoodie is laughable

As a person that just isn't drawn to wearing brown (I honestly cannot think of a brown item that I have ever worn in my entire life) I am kinda disappointed about this Warriors City Edition. I hope other people like it though #DubNation #GSW

I have a Rancillio Silvia machine that I have used every morning since we bought it 17 years ago. It has definitely saved us money over buying cappuccinos every day. If the choice is home espresso vs buying regular cups of coffee, maybe not.

No, it's actually one of my favorite Coens- gets better every rewatch for me. I love that it's like the looking-glass version of the cover of this album-what if you thought this picture was going to be your life, but you kept getting everything wrong?

This purple rose called "Heirloom" blooms when it's cool out. In our Oakland garden it's blooming right now even though it's mostly in shade.
Also: I hate the way iPhones now process pics whether you want them too or not. The color is true, even if it looks like the flower is floating in air. 🌱

Bay Area! From the @sfchronicle.com: restaurants giving free or reduced price meals to people who rely on SNAP benefits. Support them if you can- Monster Pho, for example, wont take donations but hopes you'll eat at their restaurant.

The whole site is bonkers. The takeaway from this graph is *not* that the only growing constituency here is "very/liberal", it's that "A supermajority of Americans (71%) identify as moderate or conservative" Been the case since @ least 1992, so..? That group has actually gotten *smaller* since 1992.

The artwork uses as it's inspiration a photo from the Greensboro, NC Woolworth Sit-Ins. It's a little hard to tell, but it looks like there are women and children in this sit-in. The photo is reversed on the opposite site, and rays of colors are overlaid on it.

Genuinely interested in visiting the new Woolworth's Counter in Bakersfield, even if it's just to see this Rico Gatson piece hanging above it (photo Sherod Waite):

I wonder if that center font means they fixed the gawdawful kerning and alignment on last year's statement jerseys. That crooked D was so bad, the Fanatics graphics department (i.e. 1 underpaid designer) did their best to fix it on the replica. (Real on the left, Fanatics replica on the right).

Is this the poll? The one that shows him with the *smallest* percentage of unfavorable impressions? And the largest amount of unfamiliarity? Seems like poll reading is not your forte.
