I had such a great time reporting this story for @48hills. And, as he always does, @LanceMackWilson made it easy and fun with his professionalism and responsiveness.

[Oakland Ballers @OaklandBallers]

Great headline, @48hills

“That green and gold and that scrappy attitude and a different look is really historically Oakland to me. It’s honoring that legacy but creating something new for a new team.” - Ballers fan, James Manion

This is such a good book. Compelling. Not like anything I’ve ever read. It was a joy to get to talk to Chin soon as well as her editor and an editor @poetswritersinc

[Emily Wilson @ehw415]

Hayv Kahraman is the most recent guest on Art is Awesome, talking about her stunning and disturbing show at the ICA SF that deals with colonialism, botany, surveillance and refugees. And palm trees. It was a real pleasure to talk to her. https://t.co/HgIAtSdsQA

[Emily Wilson @ehw415]

So many great artists in this show. And
@ingrid_rojas_c will be there on March 7 at 7 reading from her book, The Man Who Could Move Clouds, wisdom, artists from the show

Necromancy at @SoEx_SF ? Curator Cathy Lu's ‘Moving Clouds’ summons show's "ancestor callers," whose works range from crematorium to live events in Gaza.

@ashleighlprice What are the rates?

[Emily Wilson @ehw415]

It was great to get to talk with some of the leaders of @YouthTogether about not just the programs they offer, but how they genuinely listen to students and want the best for them. Thanks to everyone who talked with me and to @LanceMackWilson for his help and patience.

[48 Hills @48hills]

In the understanding that young people need much more than traditional educational systems can provide, @youthtogether runs clothing closets, food banks, and on occasion, Tupac discussion groups. We went to Skyline HS to learn more:

I can never say enough about Patrick Martinez’s work and how talented and original he is.

[Observer @observer]

Martinez’s soon-to-close solo show at San Francisco’s Institute of Contemporary Art showcases the artist’s take on urban landscapes lost and destroyed. https://t.co/S2bjbZeJny

@bokksu @hellokitty I have NOT gotten good responses from your care team. I am frustrated and annoyed. "At Bokksu, we're dedicated to your satisfaction, whether you're enjoying our subscriptions or indulging in Bokksu Boutique purchases." What about your "happiness guaratee"?

[Emily Wilson @ehw415]

@bokksu @hellokitty Hi – I have emailed the care team, but gotten very generic and unsatisfying responses. I am leaving town on Saturday and my box of snacks for my mother that I ordered still hasn’t come – it’s in LA at customs. Is there anyway to hold it?

The American Anthology of Folk Music, which has fascinated @GreilMarcusNET for years was one of MANY of Harry Smith's accomplishments. In this show @whitneymuseum, you can listen to the anthology while looking at the Hudson as well as see Smith's movies.

[Emily Wilson @ehw415]

Artist David Huffman's talks about his work, Waterfall, at the @deyoungmuseum, how a Raymond Saunders painting "stunned" him, meeting Basquiat and Andy Warhol in New York in 1985, and his Traumanaut series. https://t.co/ef95DTciQP

Photographer Javiera Estrada talking about how as a kid, she would do things like break plates, because she like the sound. Her hyper saturated photos, many taken in national parks, are at Jonathan Carver Moore through Jan. 6

[Emily Wilson @ehw415]

Jiab Prachakul saw a David Hockney exhibit and decided to become a portrait painter. And she did, teaching herself. Her work is beautiful, insightful, and empathetic. On view till November 22 at Micki Meng

[48 Hills @48hills]

From casting director to portraitist, Jiab Prachakul finds spirit beneath surface. Scenes of family ties and bar flies populate walls in new show 'Simplicity/Complexity' at the gallery Micki Meng.

@kurtiswu Reems is delicious. One in the Mission, and one at the Ferry Plaza.

Patrick Martinez talking about using materials from LA in his landscapes, his time @artcenteredu and starting his Pee Chee folder series, and making a painting you could walk around for his show Ghost Land at the ICA SF
