@joelengardio.bsky.social I don't know why you trying to take credit for returning Algebra I to 8th. BoE voted to return it after so many of us fought for 10 years. It was voted to be delayed in Feb 2014. Return Feb 2024. Prop G was a non binding and that was March 2024 after already it returned.

I'm no nature photographer, but the Botanical Garden in @sfgov.sf.gov has some of the most incredible magnolias in the world, and they're in bloom now. Unfortunately a strong wind storm on Thursday blew a lot of the blooms away. Here's what's left. Still beautiful but sad. Let's check next year!

Just had a sample of the Eaton Fire ash that is in my driveway run on the department XRF. Is there titanium (new house paint)? Yup. Lead (old house paint)? You betcha. Heavy metals? Check. Treat that ash like it's toxic folks (because it is)

One little response to the question "what could possibly go wrong?"
One particular problem: the president has the ability to offer tariff exemptions for specific firms. This creates an obvious possibility for corrupt policymaking, rewarding friends and punishing enemies. This isn't theory: it actually happened under Trump 1.0 5/ www2.lehigh.edu/news/politic...
Politically Connected Corporations Received More Exemptions from U.S. Tariffs on Chinese Imports, Study Finds
Exemption grant process functioned as a “spoils system” rewarding political supporters and punishing opponents

A few years ago a group of us photographers went bar hopping. The Silver Crest Donut Shop was one of our stops. It closed for good this summer. ☹️

You're my Blue Sky, you're my sunny day.
I haven't been around lately and am not sure how much more I'll be around, but here are some photos from this past summer's PRIDE Celebration in San Francisco. With @nancypelosi.bsky.social, Billy Porter, the SF Pride gang, and more.
