I think that's exactly when you were a badass. That person just wanted attention and aggravation, and you kept telling the history that shows how exactly we got to that guy in that moment, and all the people who resisted hate like his. I'm sure you showed the mettle of your spirit and integrity.

Yesterday gave me pause. I was running a San Francisco South Asian Radical History Walking Tour yesterday, with a group of thirty-ish Brown/Muslim/SSWANA college students. We read from an 1850s SF newspaper editorial that frames South Asians and Muslims as part of the diversity of the city…

Ah, this may be it: 1989 Teamsters were put under federal oversight bc they’d been mobbed up forever. Ever since they’ve looked to Repubs to help them end the consent decree. Nothing was more important to them I looked, & sure enough, DOJ just ended federal oversight teamster.org/2026/09/u-s-...

I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.

I am wondering if the heat tonight might mean there's a higher number of cricket chirps per minute so the chorus is more intense. What do you think?

I feel like I'm remembering that there's a correlation between temperature and cricket song??

To also be clear, it was over 100 degrees by 1 pm and now it's all the way down to 97. The Valley is Valleying. But it's a dry heat!

Good day in Fresno today! I visited the Great Valley Gathering in the morning before it got too hot, heard Armenian music, ate Hmong snacks, and made a tiny tule basket at the Native Ways pavilion thanks to the teachings of Ursula Jones, Julia Parker's granddaughter! Julia was there too (age 98!!).
