"Fight oligarchy" needs to become a more mainstream rallying cry/talking point. Made my own poster to hold at protests--

Joined in another “human banner” protest in SF today. This one about immigrant families being targeted by ICE. We Are Familia! So important to get out there with like-minded folks. #FamiliesFirst #AbolishICE

Been saying this for decades. Citizens United set the stage and here we are. I designed these buttons for Credo many years ago.

Adobe is charging "credits" to add bleed imagery to a document. They have really lost the plot here. Adobe used to be known for caring about its users, but this monetization of new features is kind of infuriating. Used to be that new features were simply rolled out. #Adobe #Firefly #AI #Illustrator

It’s good to be reminded that we are the majority and there is no public desire for any of the brutal authoritarianism this administration is trying to manifest. Really appreciate all the work that Indivisible has been doing.

Sometimes you just have to take time off from the chaos and do something slow and meditative. Here’s today’s sesame sourdough loaf made with “Rouge de Bordeaux” wheat grown by Full Belly Farm.

I gave out my Fight Oligarchy stickers and then joined in to the #NoKings human banner at Ocean Beach in SF (ended up at the bottom of the K).
