“Bodies generally fit together, it’s people who don’t.” A beautiful reading last night by @tomasmmoniz.bsky.social at @mcwconf.bsky.social in the quaint Crown Hall. #mendocino #mcwc25

“We never end up with the book we began writing.” Wise words from @pegalfordpursell.bsky.social at @mcwconf.bsky.social that feel especially relevant as my project shapeshifts thanks to stellar feedback from my workshop crew. #mcwc25 #mendocino #books #writing #thelostartist

In 2022, employees from the Port of San Francisco discovered 48 abandoned artworks in Crane Cove Park on this bench. Now those works, many of them by an obscure but important Jewish artist Ary Lochakov, are headed back to Paris.

A renovated Esprit Park opened today, and the weather could not have been more gorgeous after days of torrential rain. Years of tousles finally resulted in human-canine compromise. “I’m not going to say the curse is over,” said Donovan Lacy. “But the sky did open.” #esprit #sf #dogpatch

Constant rain couldn’t keep the treasure hunters away from the San Francisco rare book fair, where business was brisk and organizers said they had record attendance. Reporting in the field at Fort Mason for LitHub 📝

There's only a few sky bridges left in #SanFrancisco, and last week I got the unique perspective of looking down from one of them. A long-defunct department store on Market Street shuttled merchandise to its warehouse through this passageway, and it's now considered a #historic resource of #sf.

I finally set up a Blue Sky account and this is my first post! I'm a journalist who writes about arts, culture and San Francisco. I'm also working on a book project that emerged from my reporting.
