I love 8th graders because I had a zoom session with someone who had very thoughtful questions about how the American colonists could found the colonies when Native people already lived there and why her history book only has part of one chapter on the Native people but chapters and chapters about the white colonizers...

All with Zoom filters giving her blue lipstick, a mustache, and reindeer antlers.

Solidarity amongst Bay Area children apparently (according to my tutoring student) involves the entire class yelling “Jack is a they/them” at a substitute teacher who misgendered a kid. My student said Jack appreciated the correction on their behalf.

Oh my god I got on Bart with all the Pokémon convention people

I’m here to tell you all that, while the prep for a sigmoidoscopy is much better than for a colonoscopy, the procedure is worse because you feel it all.

It was quick but it was horrible and I was awake, so awake.

I think I’ve told you all about how much Zora loves men. (Human men). She loves humans in general but she LOVES MEN.

She’s met a few trans men lately and I here to report that Zora says:

Trans men are men. She doesn’t differentiate between trans and cis men.

Im taking myself to Tajines restaurant in San Francisco for Moroccan food. But I have lots of time to walk around or chill at a park etc. where should I go? I think Tajines is in north beach.

I was feeling curious so I had a friend look up my college boyfriend on linked in (I myself am locked out of LinkedIn and being self-employed, don’t care enough to deal with it) because I was remembering that he told me in college that I was the smartest girl he knew.

And since then he has gotten a masters at UC Davis, an MBA at Yale, and a PhD at Oxford, so he probably feels great about himself.

However two things that I think are funny:

1. He had to take the remedial upper division writing class in college because he didn’t test out of it like I did

2. As a young adult he was worried about losing his integrity in the tech world so he got the word INTEGRITY tattooed on himself.

And, probably still sporting that tattoo, he now works…

…

…on the AI team at Meta. 😂

Remember that former student in prison who asked for money and books? I sent him some books from amazon and told him I couldn’t send any money and he did not push back at all but thanked me for the books. So that’s good.

This is all over fb messenger and how does he get that in prison, i have no idea. But he’s reading and not asking me for money so those are good things.

My sister is now not speaking to me because I told her it’s a stupid fucking idea to write in her cat for governor

(She is serious about it)

I’m as annoyed and angry as anyone about what’s happening at/to the White House but weren’t enslaved people forced to build it? Maybe it shouldn’t be this revered symbol.

"The billionaire who draws a white supremacist affiliated symbol on his hand and made his fortune off for-profit prisons, coal, and oil is the progressive choice is MAKING ME CRAZY"

Also if anyone wants a well thought-out statement on why Steyer isn't the progressive choice, this is from Vote Strong Sonoma: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xK0LVh_PgLgl3Et5512UqeZoJnhuyOkk4xOSDQl7q2I/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.qfnftk85ahhn

Hopefully tom Steyer goes away after Tuesday

At this point I don’t want Steyer in the general solely because I cannot handle his ads and mailers any more. So many mailers. So, so, so many unrecyclable (because of the shiny coating) mailers.

there is an unhoused guy who was living in front of the park on the corner. He's got a cart with a bunch of stuff and a camping chair and tarp and kind of made his own space there, hangs out all day and sleeps on the sidewalk.

He moved across the streett in front of McDonalds which makes a lot of sense because I see people (I can see out my front window) offering him food and beverage a lot.

The problem now is that during the day he either sits in his camping chair (fine) or stretches out lying on the sidewalk with his feet sticking over the curb into an active traffic lane. No parking buffer or bike lane even, just active car traffic.

He doesn't respond at all when people talk to him except to accept food and I've seen people call the homeless outreach people and he waves them away and won't talk to them.

I'm worried for his feet/legs.

In fifth grade, a kid running for class president promised us all Now and Later candies if we voted for him.

Steyer reminds me of him
