Science enthusiast, nature lover, political activist, lifelong learner. San Francisco.
BlueSky used to be just birds, but then I polluted my feed with a bunch of news sources. I’ve been an activist, donated $, & tried to help stop the madness. We have failed. For health reasons, I can’t handle the cortisol rush from anger every morning. Our country is unacceptable. Taking a break.
The “Manet and Morisot” exhibit at the Legion of Honor Museum was exquisite. What a fantastic and rare friendship and collaboration they had — a nonsexual, professional relationship between a man and a woman in the late 19th century, two giants of Impressionism. San Francisco.
Sea Cliff, where fabulously wealthy people live in San Francisco. But the beaches are all public in California, including the jewel of China Beach at the center.

Trying to get the last bit of life out of my aging crabapple tree. Pruned it this winter after years of not doing so. It’s past its 25yr lifespan… advice is to just plant a new one. We’ll see how it fills out this month.

Then living on the South Side of Chicago, my dear late mother and I volunteered together on Jesse Jackson’s first presidential campaign (& on Harold Washington’s, first Black mayor of Chicago). RIP. Keep hope alive. #RainbowCoalition Gift link www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/u...

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Two congressional candidates in the Central Valley are testing dueling theories on what will woo swing voters back to the Democratic Party.
