There is a Whole Thing happening at the Alameda Dog Park about discarded socks. 🧦

A sign on a chain link fence reads “stop leaving socks in the park. Dogs are eating them. This can be deadly.”

I love/hate looking for hotels because 90% of the search is skimming photoshopped images of generic rooms and reading weird reviews that always mention bugs — but THEN sometimes you get surprise gems like this !

Photos from a hotel website include a herd of zebras and descriptions of room amenities

Hey pet owners! Does anyone have any good experiences with Chewy they want to share? Working on a piece and would love your input: nuala@coyotemedia.org Here's a standard poodle puppy with rice on her face as a thank you. For every anecdote I receive I'll post another pic of this 4mo. old gremlin.

she’s cute when she has appropriate things in her mouth (who eats a rock??)

For those claiming her innocence: Birdie agrees, and says she only eats what belongs to her... which is everything

I love this resistance to journalistic “objectivity” in Noor Tagouri’s presentation at the Knight Media Forum

Heads up to drivers heading to SF from the East Bay — this is what the right side of the freeway looks like after the toll plaza 😬 King tides are doing their thing!

Several lanes of freeway are covered in water from the San Francisco Bay

I too have a tuxedo Smudge! A little feral kitty I’ve befriended. They’re the best.

The violence over the last few days and the relentless news coverage is taking a toll on my nervous system. If you, too, feel overwhelmed, may I suggest finding a soft creature to cuddle?

Two cats, one orange, one grey, sleep next to each other on a green couch with their faces smashed together.

Hey look it’s @coyotemedia.org 👀 This piece by @melbuer.bsky.social is 🔥🔥🔥 www.wordsaboutwork.news/it-was-never...

What it’s going to take is a courageous set of radical idiots who are willing and able to potentially burn their own careers down in service of rebuilding this industry

I can’t believe my mom saved my DARE certificate 😂 Las Vegas NM’s police department went all out with this fancy pants font. Too bad the commitment 10 yr old me made to “avoid the pressures to begin using drugs” fell through — sorry Nancy Reagan!

Certificate of achievement that I completed DARE. “Name” has completed curriculum in drug abuse resistance education and has made a personal commitment to avoid the pressure to begin using drugs.

Me: optimistically googling “raccoon-proof feral cat feeder” as if such a thing is even possible Wayfair: on it, $153.99

Too true!

hi from our teensy little runt who is finally starting to feel better 🥰

*ahem* would anyone like some kittens? My latest foster litter from Oakland Animal Services is so sweet 🥹💕 they are a little sicky but I will fix them up right quick

Four kittens lie in a grey fuzzy bed. One is a tortoiseshell, two are tabbies, one is black

Happy Mother’s Day from the SF Standard to all the wrinkled, tired moms over 30

Screenshot of an article that says “San Francisco has the oldest moms in America. For young moms, that can be weird”

A screenshot of an article that says “Across the region, those who became mothers before 30 say their wrinkle-free faces and surplus of energy make them stick out like sore thumbs. Their youth can make it hard to make friends, or at least get respect, from the older parents of their kids’ peers.”

It’s @kalwradio.bsky.social’s nature sound audio takeover today, and being the bird nerd I am I turned on Merlin to see what birds they recorded 🦅👀

Screenshot of the Merlin app, which lists bird noises caught in a recording. Birds listed are the yellow warbler, song sparrow, red-winged blackbird, American robin, common yellowthroat, and osprey

I can guarantee that women are not forgoing motherhood and/or multiple kids because they don’t know when they ovulate 😂

A section of a New York Times article is circled in red, which reads “A third calls on the government to fund programs that educate women on their menstrual cycles — in part so they can better understand when they are ovulating and able to conceive.”

New Mexico newspapers are high on drama today

Nuala Bishari@nuala· Mar 11

“Antithesis” is the word of the day

Two newspapers sit side by side on a counter. The SF Chronicle headline reads “Presidio an antithesis of Trumps’s presidency,” while the Wall Street Journal’s headline is “new Canada leader pins hopes on being antithesis of Trump.”

Centering alcohol in a strategy to bring young people back to SF is so weird. Aside from being overly simplistic - “come drink downtown, kids!” - it overlooks the fact that young people don’t drink as much as they used to, if at all. news.gallup.com/poll/509690/...
