I know Nas personally, and what she didn’t add to the GoFundMe is that she is a single mom getting over cancer; being able to do this competition will be really good for her soul after this tough year. Please help her out. 🙏 gofundme.com/f/help-nasiya-c…

I wish my kids didn’t have something every night and I could just watch my shows.

Remembering when I was a new drummer and someone asked if I could play a shuffle and I hadn’t used that term before, but when I pried it out of the asker I was like, “yeah, I can play triplets.”

If you have “unlimited PTO” and you’re not taking at least 6 weeks off every year, you’re doing it wrong.

Tweet brought to you by me trying to figure out how much PTO to take over the holidays.

My 14yo: I just learned today that Tupac is dead. Me: …yeah.

The look of shock when I informed her that Tupac died in 1996. 😮

I feel weirdly accomplished when I take my kids to the doctor and the doctor is like, “yes, this odd thing that is happening: let’s look into that.” Getting appropriate medical care for my children feels like an accomplishment. Bah.

I want this before/after, but for 980 in Oakland.
In the late 80s, San Francisco's Embarcadero Freeway carried 100,000 vehicles per day as a sort of traffic sewer, blocking the city from the expansive waterfront. But in 1989, the Loma Prieta earthquake rocked the freeway beyond repair, giving planners and engineers no choice but to distribute all that traffic to surface streets. The results... The local streets absorbed the traffic, transit ridership shot up, housing soared, new jobs opened, and various redevelopment projects transformed the waterfront. Think about that. After part of a downtown freeway collapsed, the area began to thrive and turned into a highly sought after destination.

If you consider that many people believe animals go to heaven and also that there have been exponentially more insects than humans then it’s safe to say heaven is currently, and will always be, overrun with creepy crawlies.

I would actually like New York-style if it were this.
Having a lovely evening having authentic New York-style pizza.

I’m at this bar mitzvah in Berkeley and after reach aliyah, everyone snaps like it’s beat poetry. It’s this a usual bar mitzvah thing or a hippie Berkeley bar mitzvah thing?

I just stared at the word “should” in a monospace font too long and now it doesn’t look like a word anymore. This only happens with monospace fonts! Why do they do this to me?

Bike people: it’s totally cool to turn off someone’s bike lights if they parked & locked their bike and forgot to turn them off, right? Because I do this and I’m always caught b/t “don’t touch someone else’s bike” and “don’t let their batteries die so they can go home safely.”
