Dear humans, Please pause a moment to enjoy your Caturday, too. - Dorothy #SnoresandWhiskers #caturday #CatsOfBluesky

Grammar was my never subject strongest in school

PLEASE NOTIFY FRIENDS AND FAMILY IN CALIFORNIA! ICE is conducting a surge in Southern CA AND The Central Valley including Fresno, Madera, Visalia, Selma, Dinuba, Sanger, Los Baños and surrounding cities! Stay vigilant and stay safe!

Q: How do you get large numbers of people to stop using AI, and possibly even tank the so-called AI boom? A: Say out loud that it is in fact the machines and not their fantasy-prone users who have “super intelligence”

“Your Friday traffic” “Your weekend forecast” “Your [local team]” is the language of marketing, where the universal “the” is replaced with the individualized, possessive “your.” When someone says you should accept high prices for “your national security,” they are trying to sell you something.

Hope they line up to vote on November 3rd like they all lined up to buy the new Trader Joe’s bags on October 1st 🤯

The world may be on fire, but at least we’re entering spooky leaf season 🦇🍁

Are we spending too much time online? ——— San Jose CA, 9/19/26…but really it could be anywhere and anywhen #streetphoto #sanjose #birds #photo

At this moment in U.S. history, even the random plastic Carl’s Jr. Happy Star cup, lying crushed and empty at the side of the road, is painfully evocative —— #unintentional #politics #photo, a #streetphoto of the #nationalmood

Happy Caturday, hoomans! Can we be friends? #Caturday #CatsofBluesky #MousiesofBluesky

It took me 5 years to finish my BA, and 8 for my PhD. With work demands, health issues, and in my subject area, I know I’m not alone. And I wasn’t even studying in a second language! DHS is crippling the US in the most inhumane ways possible. We’ve got to stand up for our international students!!

Erasure is violence. On this day when the Trump ‘administration’ erased the names of the 4 service members most recently killed in its illegal and immoral war on Iran, the same evil minds plan to erase more people of color from the next census. from @crampell.bsky.social:

The City of San Jose is creating plans that would allow food delivery bots to drive up to 20mph in bike lanes. As a human who uses a pedal-powered bicycle in San Jose’s bike lanes every day, I am VERY not okay with this. #bikesky #cycling #safety #protectpublicstreets

This is random, but I wanted to extend my gratitude to Democratic Congresswoman Joyce Beatty for her tireless effort in protecting the Kennedy Center from being fully destroyed by a vindictive jealous petty classless criminal. 💙👊

When I visited DC recently, I learned about an invasive species of insect that’s destroying vegetation across Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, & beyond: the #SpottedLanternfly. While pesticides may not be advised in cities, it is highly recommended to SQUASH them upon sight. #FreeDC

Okay folks, this has really got to stop. @markhamillofficial.bsky.social - is this really how it went down? ------ #ETTD #Trump in #Spain #victory #photo at the #WorldCup now #StarWars may be next

天下為公 Tian Xia Wei Gong Tin Haa Wai Gung “All the world belongs to the people” These words, on the gate to San Francisco’s Chinatown at Bush and Grant, gave me a little hope today. Isn’t it the duty of everyone who walks underneath to make them a reality? #photo #streetphoto #linguisticlandscape

Tonight, again, the United States is punishing thousands of children in Iran, and their families, and their communities, FOR WHAT?!?

With gratitude and admiration for co-hosts of the 2026 World Cup, Mexico and Canada. Thank you for your warmth, spirit, and hospitality to all the world’s fans, teams, and referees who have united in love for the sport. 🇲🇽⚽️🇨🇦⚽️ #WorldCup #fútbol #soccer #love #peace #thebeautifulgame

If you haven’t grieved yet today over the violence being done to the U.S. and the world, here is Amanda Gorman reading her magnificent “The Hill We Climb” at Biden’s inauguration on January 20, 2021. 🔹Being American is more than a pride we inherit. It's the past we step into and how we repair it.🔹

Sending my thoughts to everyone affected by the fires in Canada ❤️🤍❤️ I was in Toronto just a week ago, and loved this sculpture of Rabbitwoman & Dogman, “two opposites coming together as best friends and soulmates,” helping to save the white rhino on their tandem bicycle. May we embody their spirit.

Every day of events in the U.S. demonstrates that we do not live in freedom. But this sign, outside the American state fair in DC the day after it closed, gave me a little hope. Freedom is not here, but perhaps there is a detour we can take. A detour we must take. #photo #politics #signs

Rewatched the Cabo Verde-Argentina match last night. It was almost as thrilling as the first time—a beautiful, even magical display that will be hard to ever forget. Thank you again Vizinha, Lopes Cabral, and the whole team for inspiring the world with the art of the possible! 🇨🇻 #worldcup #beauty

"Immigrants leave behind childhood landscapes, family traditions, and relationships that can't be replaced — often exchanging certainty for the prospect of starting over. Yet people continue to make that journey because migration is ultimately an act of hope." - bilingual educator Silvia Manno

Wherever you are, maybe your day or night would be a little better with a nice fiery sunset, too. - San Jose, CA, July 13

Saturday, July 11: Trump’s arch at the American state fair is coming apart today, with the caulking removed and plywood peeled off, leaving just the jungle gym frame and Home Depot Halloween eagles on top

“A history that’s only written to flatter our present leaves out these smaller stories, the reverberations of ambition and frustration, the minor hopes of making a living rather than ruling the world.” - from Hua Hsu’s fabulous essay on finding place & heritage in Silicon Valley

Not only that—now we're starting to see the unredacted photos come out from the Great American State Fair. And, folks, it’s even sadder than we thought… #politics #freedom250 #statefair #somuchwinning

Truly, now and forever, “Do not mess with someone’s kids.” Much love to you, Pete, Chasten, and family—and to all families who have to live with the reality that this kind of thing could even be a reality 💔

Today is a prime day to find your local bookstore and treat yourself to a new (or old) read. Mine’s Recycle Bookstore in San Jose 💙📚 www.recyclebookstore.com

Kind of poetic that on this Juneteenth, the player who scores the first offensive goal for the United States vs. Australia is an African American star named Freeman. Thank you, Alex, for bringing the beautiful game to us all ❤️⚽️🤍⚽️💙 #WorldCup #WorldCup #football #fútbol #LifeLessons #mundial

That city sewer slut's the vibe Internationally recognized I set the tone, it's my design And it's stuck in your mind #LincolnMemorial #ReflectingPool #swamp #news #BratSummer was just missing #algae

Who needs the World Cup when you can watch a live feed of the exterior of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, where there's movement around the scaffolding and expectations are high that "THE DONALD J. TRUMP AND" lettering is finally going to be taken down

Is anyone else torn about watching the #WorldCup? I love the event but cannot support the criminality of one of its hosts. Matches in Mexico and Canada are in green; let's not watch the matches in red. Sorry not sorry, #TeamUSA. You guys should all be taking a knee for this one.

Amazing how these flags can all get along. Happy Pride from SJC airport, San José, California! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
