We are looking forward to the weekend, my friends. What a stressful week. (Parents with older kids, please tell me it gets better? They sleep again, right? They learn to like preschool, yes?)
Some long hikes with cousins, and sand angels at the beach are in order. Oof.
Have a great weekend everyone!
From around the web this week:
In the happiest news of the week, IT SNOWED IN TAHOE. Grab a warm cup of coffee, watch the video, and start pulling out your snow gear.
The people behind Bay Lights are raising money for a new installation, Light Rail, which looks really really cool.
In other renegade infrastructure news, have you seen the work of SF Transformation around town? You know I have a weak spot for vigilantes enforcing transportation safety laws.
We all know/love BART’s twitter writer, but did you know CalTrains has an even snippier one?
This funny yet odd SF Gate quiz tells you what percentage stereotypical San Franciscan you are. (I somehow got 100% despite never waiting in line, drinking Starbucks and not composting. Seems fishy.)
To get me back into newcomer territory, I can’t wait to check out this new shave ice spot on Divis. Opens today!
In photography this week, this photo essay on the modern everyday side of Africa is breathtaking.
A friend told me I had to watch One Mississippi, and she wasn’t wrong. Warning: it brings the sobs.
Reminder: salad bowl spin art needs to happen this weekend too.
I love this idea for a geoboard. Add it to the list of weekend projects.
Lastly, this literary critique of Ma Ingells, and how mothers constantly navigate their own desires while also teaching their children to pacify their own, is brilliant.
