Now my primary account - supposed to be a home for all my paper, design, art, poetry and ephemera ramblings. But is ending up a place I post bird and landscape photos, with the occasional climate, environment and tech bits thrown in.

Got to love a restaurant that brings the bill in a children’s book - we had the pork belly. I wonder if they have a rabbit dish?

another high drama over the bay this morning. Check out that

panoramic view of sunrise over the San Rafael, Richmond bridge. With a thin strip of golden dawn light trapped between a dark foreground and brooding, heavy marine layer cloud.

@msquebanh thank you, I'm lucky to have this view to wake up to. And 2 small dogs to ensure I'm up early enough to see it.

@qurlyjoe @ai6yr the commodification of plastics makes past pervasiveness of lead look like a knocking over a paint pot.
Anyone know who the Thomas Midgley of the plastics world is?
I’d definitely like to include (as a special mention even if minor impact) whoever put micro plastic beads in skin care etc.
