While down the peninsula this evening, I noticed the VTA 522 has no stops between Bernardo and Castro, a distance of 1.8 miles. That seems like quite a distance for a limited-stop urban route. ¿Is that the longest distance between two stops on the 522?

Around 7:45 pm this evening, I saw a freight train roar through Millbrae Caltrain Station in the San Francisco direction on Caltrain track. I didn't know they still did that.

What’s important right now is that people focus on common interests and shared goals. If we don’t have a democracy there’s no opportunity for a vegan to improve the living conditions of chickens. If we don’t have a democracy there’s no opportunity for people concerned about the environment to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Everyone needs to focus on the big picture: returning power to the people and disempowering the 1%. #NoBillionaires #America #democracy #liberty #texan #sanfranciscobayarea #nedluddwasright

This was during the “always keep the camera in the car” era for those unexpected detours.

I posted a bunch of photos on Pixelfed that I took while living in the East Bay. You can view them here: https://pixelfed.social/c/739918644981366767

#Quake in east #SanJose. I didn't feel it even though I'm in a great setting for that.

@TheWeeOwl The #ItalianAmericans who hunt these #mushrooms in the #SanFranciscoBayArea usually call them #Porcini. Wikipedia says, “Boletus edulis (English: cep, penny bun, porcino or porcini) is a basidiomycete fungus, and the type species of the genus #Boletus.”

This is one of my favorite #GlitchArt pieces I've put up on INPRNT. I took the original picture on #AngelIsland, and am really happy with the resulting color palette.

[Image Description for link preview] Looking up a foot path to a historic multi-unit building, the sky is a digital static grey with multi-color speckles fading to gold then deep orange. The rest of the image is a palette of navy blue, mint green, neon pink, and yellow with the very occasional hint of neon green. The whole picture is pixelated and artifacted.
