Anti-ICE protest happening now in #SanFrancisco. “No #ICE, no KKK, no #fascist #USA.”
Went to an Indigenous event yesterday in San Francisco where they built a fire with volcanic rocks to make acorn mush. The guy doing it said it’s important to get these round, tumbled rocks and they usually come from east of the Sierras. They ran a very inclusive event yesterday where different Indigenous groups came and asked the Yelamu people for permission to come ashore (into the Bay). Everyone shared their songs and stories. I learned a lot.
Sometimes I read people say they don’t know what to take photos of

I spoke with outgoing SFMTA head Jeffrey Tumlin about robotaxis' impact on San Francisco – and the threat they pose to multimodal cities worldwide.
Tumlin: “I am very worried that so much of the joy of the remaining walkable cities in the world could be at risk from self-driving cars.”
In today's post on @medium, I share photos I've taken over the years of outgoing #SanFrancisco Mayor #LondonBreed.

Had a bunch of fun creating foiled drawings of some of iconic landmarks! This is Coit Tower in San Francisco!

Last Saturday, I went to the mall for some udon. It was so good that I've been telling everyone about it all week, and now I'm telling you.
The best damn udon in San Francisco
My udon quest led me to the surprisingly good Stonestown mall

one of those nice half-foggy sunrises today. I think I might end up missing those two cranes out at UCSF when they’re done, they’re like mini @SutroTower. #SanFrancisco
The Bridge
The Golden Gate Bridge is the most photographed bridge in the world. It's easy to understand why. The bridge itself is a beautiful piece of architectural art work and the setting is incredible.
The span reaches across the white capped waves of the San Francisco Bay below over to Marin County.
On this day the sky is blue but it's deceptively cold for San Francisco.

Activists installed guerrilla benches at bus stops in #SanFrancisco. Will the city keep them or tear them out? https://docpop.org/2025/06/public-benches-installed-by-activists/
Blue Angels and the Bridge
This is an image of the US Navy Blue Angels flying just south of the Golden Gate Bridge as they make their way into San Francisco. This event takes place yearly wrapping up with the Navy's Fleet Week.
These jets fly in amazingly tight formations and put on a show that can be seen from many great places along San Francisco Bay.

Some days I think about how I recently saw a guy in crisis, tweaking out in the bus. He was screaming really loudly. Most people avoided him. A big dude told him to shut TF up. The guy started crying. The big dude asked, do you need a hug? And gave him some money and told him where to go get food.
Buses connect people. Sometimes the inconvenience and grit looks like a lot, but as a forever rider of buses everywhere (I like them more than trains), I have no shortage of amazing human stories I’ve witnessed in buses the world over.
I just read in the Wall Street Journal that certain areas of San Francisco remain a ‘no go zone’, despite the best and most valiant efforts of our amazing ‘only good mayor in a while’, the billionaire whose mama paid for his campaign.
The no go zone, supposedly, includes the place I live in; where in the same article the same mayor says ‘it also has the highest number of children’
Golden gate bridge?? What bridge??
"When the author of a book states that all sales of those books will contribute to an anti-trans fund, the only way we can choose not to participate is by not selling the books any longer. "
