  3. New to the instance, so: intro post!
    I'm a middle-aged millennial cis woman, fairly recently moved to Oakland. Things I enjoy, in no particular order: baking, knitting (very n00b), parks, libraries, art museums, hiking, coffee, jazz, Halloween (and all Halloween-associated things besides horror movies... and spiders, I guess?), physics documentaries for non-mathy people (and sci comm in general - honorable mention to Ologies), string lights and other glowy things, death positive stuff (IYKYK, and if you don't, feel free to ask!).

    Very smug for having resisted the urge to pepper that entire sentence with an annoying volume of emojis. 😇

    If you like the same stuff I like, ping me to chat about stuff we like!

  18. The Trump Administration wants to bring a toxic coal export terminal to the Bay Area, right on the Bay's shoreline in West Oakland. We need Newsom to sign #AB40, the Community First Coal Review Act, a bill to protect us from this dirty coal project!

  23. Since inception in 1951, a 9 mile stretch of #580 MacArthur #FWY thru #Oakland has banned large trucks. Back in 2000 then Gov. Gray Davis reaffirmed this into law barring vehicles of 9,000 pounds+ from the I-580 corridor mainly out of respect for the communities that were split in half when it was built, and who've consistently been promised this back before computers could fit on a desk, or US interventions in Vietnam or Kosovo.

    “People were actually displaced and homes were taken from people. There was a commitment made that #trucks would not be on that freeway because these neighborhoods had been destroyed.”

    — CA Assembly member Ellen Corbett

    Now 21st century industry influence at #CalTrans see commercial #trucking #lobbyists and industry lawyers circling like hungry buzzards trying to use "environmental justice" arguments and other schemes to squeeze #BigRigs through a mostly residential corridor past San Leandro suburban dwellings, tree lined hills above Oakland Zoo & Lake Merritt to where the autos-only #freeway passes #Mosswood Park and finally hits the diesel dusted truck #traffic of massive #MacArthurMaze by I-880 to #BayBridge corridor.
