Pregnancy is just constantly being tired and having one part of you that doesn't feel quite right. Today, it's my right leg. Yesterday, tummy troubles.
This Silicon Valley Bank stuff is nuts. SVB is a darling of the local economy — well known for funding half of the most iconic startups in recent memory and a a reputation for engaging with the greater Bay Area community.
Compact development doesn't necessarily mean "high rises." Opening up zoning to allow the next increment of development, like duplexes and townhomes, will benefit communities of all sizes without turning them into urban skylines.
@AlysaCisneros I just… don’t want to. I don’t have a good excuse. Multiple people have encouraged me to run for Council, but it doesn’t entice me. Plus, I love supporting great candidates.
It's been a tough day with a lot of feelings about Google's layoffs. If you know someone working there, please reach out to them and offer your love and support.
@KatieACausey Doing solo activities around other people. Going to the mall. Working from a coffee shop. Taking yourself to lunch and reading a book. Introduce chatting others up as you feel comfortable, but there’s no pressure. Also — taking a class at a community center!

It’s EXTREMELY WEIRD people are mad at someone for pointing out how expensive basic necessities are becoming. Cardi B is the ONLY economically left-leaning mainstream rapper who has consistently been talking about economic issues especially how they impact working class ppl.
I don't know about other cities, but Sunnyvale DPS was very, very busy last night. I heard sirens fly by my house from around 7:30 to midnight pretty consistently.
Stay safe out there if you're travelling the next few days and thank your public safety personnel.
