“Process of imagination”
New term I’ve just learned and will be using when talking about how we can make changes in our cities and world, that are often hard to imagine since they don’t yet exist.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

If the Greater Bay Area/Northern California (SF, OAK, SJ, Sac, Stockton, SC) were to be energy independent, water independent and 80% food independent, what would have to change, even if the population stayed the same?

Andor’s music is so powerful in the final episodes From S2E7’s Messenger to the finale S2E12, we hear the resonant warm bell of what might be called Bix’s Theme in 4 episodes. All are deeply meaningful emotional moments.

There is no moral justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth.
It is distorting politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.
Closing our staggering wealth gap is crucial to the survival of our economy and our democracy.

Possibly my favorite scene that no-one talks about. It’s the opening scene in Andor Season 2 episode 1. Such a human connection in this scene, with Andor showing his connection to all people. youtu.be/rugpDpd0aV4?... #YoureComingHomeToYourself

Moving forward, we’ll need more arcaded sidewalks on commercial streets. They provide protection from hot sun, a bit of wind protection, and add more floor area above.
How about we rezone the less wind risky north-south streets with these? I’m looking at you Valencia, Polk, and maybe West Portal!
