Preserve working lands or build a sustainable city? Solano County residents will likely come to a decision over the proposed 17,500-acre @CAForever project by this November. @gbeltalliance @Fibershed @famfarms 📷: @GeorgeAleta, SITELAB Urban Studio https://t.co/LYekWIlaEh

My feed is full of incredible reporters laid off from @latimes and @TimeMagazineRS. The Times has now laid off 1/3 of its newsroom! Why does Patrick Soon-Shiong think reducing the quality of the news product will miraculously bring him 200k new digital subscribers? #localnews

Just got out of #Nyad, an incredible film about Diana Nyad’s swim from Cuba to the Florida Keys. It was her 5th attempt and she was 64. Such an affirmation of women over 60! Fabulous film. #TellurideFilmFestival

Matt Werner did a great job interweaving ecology and history in this article about efforts to repopulate native oysters in the San Francisco Bay.

Wild baby salmon raised in a California rice field did spectacularly well this year: 1/3 made it to the ocean! “These partnerships are the only way forward—there’s just not enough wetlands without them.” My✍️for @MavensNotebook. https://t.co/oczHaDSu1o

In the new episode, Dorothy Lazard shares memories from the Oakland History Center... like the time Proverb Jacobs tried to donate his Super Bowl ring! https://t.co/XOAbEQmxPI

@nat_orenstein Please consider including my biography of Ina Coolbrith, Oakland's first librarian: "Ina Coolbrith: The Bittersweet Song of California's First Poet Laureate."

I am out on San Francisco bay with @Liam_ODonoghue from @ebyesterday. Everyone should take this history tour. Today it is Richmond but I also loved the tour about Oakland and Berkeley.

@TheCILOfficial @ebyesterday As a house manager at Berkeley Rep, I was always happy to see him arrive.
