San Leandro - Lake Merritt

Uber guy: How are you doing on this Beee-utiful Sunday?

Me: I'm fine, how are you?

Uber guy: Well, it's mothers day and I'm here serving you rather than being with my Mrs.

Me: ..

Uber guy: What's that smell? Is it you?

Me: I don't think so?

Uber guy: Must have been that Asian family I had in the car. Let's just say they weren't flowery.

Uber guy (picking up another rider in East Oakland): Oh we're in the sketchy part of Oakland now, is it safe at night? Is that a cop? I wonder if bullets are about to fly hahahaha!

Other rider: ...

“Here’s another thing that’s so interesting about money that people never talk about: there are all these invisible advantages and privileges people have. Parents who help out with a down payment, or a grandparent who takes the kids every Tuesday. Parents who pay for college. We didn’t have any of that.”

I grew up poor, and I did get food stamps as a kid, so there was a sense of shame about it. And I also acknowledged that we were poor by choice. Here we were, two people with master’s degrees, choosing to keep faith with our art, and because of that we were poor. That’s different from being poor—really poor, actually poor. And I know that because I came from those people. And I just couldn’t take in that way from our society.    At the end of the day, if I had really needed to get a job that paid the bills, I could have. And I always chose not to, because I wanted to write. So I didn’t feel entitled to public assistance.

Can’t help but snap my fingers at 99% of what she writes.

My neck

Me: What the fuck, I just pulled a hair from my neck!

Kristin: No you didn't.

Me: I just pulled a thin, grey hair from my neck!

Kristin: It's probably just one of Betty's stuck to your neck with a little milk.

Me: ... I don't know if that's better.

There was one at Crescent Elk sitting in the playground on the swings with balloons.  They're big, they're like men. Sally Huff was confronted by one.

Watch Bernie Sanders's Delegate Brother Larry Sanders Emotionally Cast His Floor Vote For Bernie

Larry Sanders is a Green Party politician in the UK, and a delegate with the Democrats Abroad delegation here at the DNC in Philadelphia. He’s also Bernie Sanders’s older brother. A few minutes ago, during the roll call of states, the delegation allowed him to personally deliver his vote to his little brother, which he did, after brief, emotional remarks about their parents, and how immensely proud they’d be. It was a nice moment.

Betty’s looking at me like “why you crying?”

I read Gawker for the comments

“Apple pie is good”

“Why do you hate blueberry pie?”

“I don’t”

“Then why did you announce your support for only apply pie? Isn’t that implicitly anti-blueberry?”

“No you stupid motherfucker, I like all kinds of pie but right now we’re talking about apple, so shut up about your goddamn blueberry”
