City girl turned mountain dweller (SF ➡️ Tahoe). Expect musings on the SF Giants & 49ers, life in Lake Tahoe, movies or whatever show I’m currently binging, travel logs, TS and my pup Bodhi. Here for the good vibes.

There’s a lot to focus on here and this is the least of it, but signing off with his signature is giving grandpa doesn’t know how technology works. Like when your parents put love mom or dad at the end of a text.

Rich coming from this self-certified genius

I see the dems are showing up with concepts of a protest

I don’t know how the Democrats haven’t figured out that you don’t play politics with the reality TV president. You play reality TV. If a Housewife is having a party, her mortal enemy doesn’t show up. She throws an even bigger party, at the same time, across the street.

US Forest Service firings decimate already understaffed agency: ‘It’s catastrophic’ "We are losing an entire generation of talent and passion." grist.org/politics/for... #Musk #Trump #Climate #Forest #Solarpunk

Someone described Mumford and Sons “I will wait” as an EDM banger in sepia tone which is an absolutely perfect description.

I would love to watch movies in a theatre. The only problem is - waves hands - people.

Yesterday I was picnicking at the beach on a beautiful sunny day. Today it’s snowing. I didn’t get fooled by false spring in Tahoe, but I sure did enjoy it.

If a movie is “included with Prime” don’t let me get 20 mins in and then start playing commercials. I don’t gaf how invested I am in the story. It’s an immediate switch to a different streamer.

That’s 4.5% of all games played by Steph Curry, folks!

Watching Gen Z discovering Girls and Robyn on TikTok is kind of delightful. The 2010s really were a time. Ahh, that Obama Era optimism.

Ding ding ding

For those in CA-03: Under the Republican budget plan, the 32,000 people who receive coverage under the Affordable Care Act in Rep. Kevin Kiley's district would see their average premium go up by $3,120 per year — a 121% increase.

This is also a VERY useful stat sheet for calls tomorrow reminding your members of Congress how many voters they just voted to fuck over in favor of billionaires.

All the folks who exited NBC today. Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.

Has anyone checked in on the wife of the cop on the body cam footage with Gabby and Brian in Moab?

I have now twice opened up meat that’s before it’s sell by date to find it smelling completely rancid. Ground turkey from Whole Foods and chicken breast from Costco. I can’t recall this ever happening let alone twice in one month. What’s different now I wonder?

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

I didn’t realize just how much I need baseball right now until lineup cards started getting posted.

I hear Trump loves the Dodgers

Bright passionate people who wanted to dedicate their lives to public service were fired in a mass email over the holiday weekend. This has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency, fraud, waste, or abuse. And your life will be worse because of it.

I opened a “fresh” pack of ground turkey the other day and it’s smelled like a dozen rotten eggs that had been sitting out in the sun for weeks. I’m really not in the mood to be a vegetarian.

And thanks to all the other #sfgiants fans that were vocal about this. The “digital kiosk” just wasn’t it. Glad the Giants did right by their fans and now we’ll always know where my dad’s brick is. Though arguing over its location was half the fun.

Years ago, we got a commemorative brick for my dad at the Giants ballpark and lost track of it, sparking many family debates. Around the time he passed, we learned it had been removed-a gut punch. Today, we got word it’s being reinstalled, and we’ll get its exact location. More meaningful than ever.

every pandemic, every security leak, every military screw up is on Republicans for entrusting serious jobs to fools, flakes and fanatics.

Another big storm forecasted for Tahoe. Started snowing late last night and there was an inch or so accumulated when I went to bed. Woke up this morning to see it had switched over to rain. We’ll see how today goes.

Insane how quickly the racist regression is happening in this country. Decades of progress being undone in weeks, without even any laws having to be passed. Just sheer intimidation from Trump and the right, and sheer cowardice from the corporations.

I don’t have a fancy lesson I delivered about the #SuperBowlHalftimeShow Before I showed it, I instructed my students to write down three words and document when they noticed them: •imagery •symbolism •message We watched once all the way through, then we broke down where my students noted. +

Joe’s better

The only thing better than the Chiefs losing is the Chiefs getting absolutely steamrolled.

This game is bringing me so much joy.

My annual reminder that Super Bowl is two words.

💯

Very meh winter in Tahoe so far. Only one real notable snowstorm otherwise a handful of storms with a bit of snow and a lot of wind and rain. Low temps but pretty much nothing on the ground in South Lake at least at lake level. The lake itself looks nice and full so that’s good. But gimme some snow.

The best thing about Mitch Hedberg jokes is you can’t read them without hearing them in his voice. And they all want SunChips!

It is - always has been, always will be - about the money
