Tomorrow is SF Transit Operator Day. I'm calling on everyone in San Francisco to ride Muni tomorrow. There is no better way to show love and appreciation for the workers who move the people of the City than to board our buses, trains, streetcars, and cable cars. www.sftransitoperator.day

Now is a particularly good time to thank your bus operator -- and commend all the govt workers who make cities and society work

In San Francisco congestion pricing is unlikely to generate revenue of this magnitude, given downtown office vacancy. But appropriately pricing curb parking for private cars could be very successful, IMO. We should try that.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Reminder to those who need it: 1. You can mute the name of the current president and/or anyone else you don't want to constantly hear about here 2. You can mute/block/unfollow accounts that impinge on your calm 3. Social media doesn't have to be a doom scroll, curate your feed to make you happy

So yeah, it’s real bad. Just remember: 1) they’re going to fuck it up 2) but not all of it 3) do what you can when you can 4) do nothing when you need to 5) posting is not doing something
