Can you send a glove in the mail? Yes you can! I sent Maxie Eulig mail art for an exhibition in Germany with the theme “Art of the Hand” — I received this glove in the mail as a thank you. #mailart #postal

Got excited at MUNI Heritage Weekend when I saw this vintage bus and hoped they had brought back the #76. I really miss taking a MUNI bus to the Marin Headlands and Rodeo Beach. 🚍🥾🏄🏽 #SanFrancisco

Can you print with rubber bands? Yes! The trick is to wrap them around a little wooden block. Photos courtesy of @ryanzhelp.bsky.social from a demo I did yesterday at the San Francisco Correspondence Coop. #art #printing

Two Waymo incidents in one walk. A Waymo made an aggressive left from Pierce into Oak St. squeezing between a car and a curb. Almost jumped the curb. I am used to drivers blocking the crosswalk at Fell/Masonic, but this clanker started to back up as I was walking behind it (with the walk signal!).
