Ouch! Five in two years? Convincing me to stay on the beach, haha.


Hey #SanDiego, We All We Got needs volunteers for our #MutualAid food distribution every 2nd and 4th Saturday. We need volunteers to buy dry food during the week, pack food into bags, deliver the food, and also to hand out the food at the park. Solidarity, not charity!

Visit weallwegotsd.com or call (619) 800-4473 to sign up!


I decided to show a little love to my venue pages after reading Tantek’s post about venues and reviews.

As part of keeping track of the events I attend, I create a venue page and link the event to it. The venue page previously would only show the name, address, and link. I updated it to also show a list of past events so it’s easier to see at a glance and navigate between them.

Example: Soda Bar, San Diego, CA


#MusicMonday: Have you heard the bop of the summer yet? I love that “If I Were a Fish” came from processing emotions and writing a quick song filled with so much joy:

“I was having a very emotional day, feeling insecure and out of place. So I cried to Olivia and after feeling through it, we wrote this song in 10 minutes to remember the joy in being different”

Reposted Jen Simmons:

It’s very, very strange to be surrounded by people everywhere slowly signing up for fascism. Especially when they think of themselves as “normal”, liberal / progressive… the good people. And yet, they’ve fallen for propaganda. Slowly agreed to value tiny personal convenience over everyone else’s basic human rights. They’ve jettisoned reality. Rejected science and facts. Bought into extreme selfishness. They proudly post photos of themselves causing harm. And push others to do the same. W.T.F.

I'm not familiar with Media RSS or how stable that spec is, but maybe it would be worth adding an option for it in Granary?


Public comment Re: April 13, 2023 San Diego Land Use and Housing Committee, Agenda Item 5

I am a resident of District 3 and am writing to oppose this amendment as it leaves no place for unhoused people to exist in the city. Meanwhile the city continues to fail at investing in enough housing, public restrooms, and essential services for people to transition out of homelessness. Stop criminalizing unsheltered people and invest in more housing and access to public restrooms instead.

I came across a COVID-conscious group that has a weekly Zoom hangout Friday evenings. They’re apparently pushing 100 attendees and use breakouts for topics from just fun hangouts to the more serious. I appreciate that in the rules they have “no minimizing.” I might check it out soon.

recent selfie

I usually tend to take selfies right after getting a haircut. I realized I hadn’t posted my face on here in a while, so here you go.
