My GF and I are coming to visit your lovely stadium this weekend for Friday’s match. We are (former?)Oakland A’s fans trying to mend our broken hearts by visiting other parks this summers.

I’ve always been an AL fan. so besides my teenage experience of getting to interview some of the Silver Bullets players when they visited Oakland in the late 90s, I am sorely lacking in Colorado baseball experience.

Any insights on making the best of our visit? We don’t really drink, but appreciate a good ballpark bite, local lore and quirks. Sitting in 332 row 6.

thanks!

hi y’all,

My partner is a therapist at Oakland Tech and she’s in the process of trying to pull together some furnishings for a new therapy office on campus before the semester starts.

Wondering if any lovely people in the community have spare table or floor lamps they don’t need and would be willing to donate to the project .

thanks!

Hey all, just dropping in to let you know about this cute event happening tomorrow.

The crew from Oakland's own White Horse Inn will be on hand with **full bar serv

Saw the trailer before Jonathon Early’s new flick last weekend. Looks pretty great to me, I’m sure all the fans of the Bear will be all over it. Wondering if it will draw a new generation of bright eyed newbies into the kitche, like his book did for my gen

I want to take some epic transit rides this summer. Has anyone created a trip planner or interactive map that clearly combines all of BayPass/Clipper eligible services?

or is there something that has a filter where we can include only agencies that take clipper? Does Transit app work like that?

I was walking to class this morning with headphones in carrying my coffee thermos when as I passed a group of four office casual middle aged white folks a woman from the group put herself in my path and pointed to my thermos. When I took my headphone out she said “can I have some of your water?”

so weird.

I…apologized and told her it was coffee. it was so weird, she was acting totally totally calm and like it was a normal question. She also didn’t follow any of my suggestions for where she could find a water fountain.

anyone else have this weird experience? It looked like they were all wearing wooden laser engraved name tags. Religious cult maybe?

left mine at home damn it. anyone know who has them? library?

Hey y'all,

I was thinking about tomorrow's economic boycott, and wondering if anyone wants to join me in a small business challenge for March. Avoiding Amazon and the big corps and trying to focus on supporting our local retails and food service operators as much as possible.

I created a post on IG. I'll see if I can link it in the comments, but my @ is @nickyaporcox

For me personally, I'm going to try to do retail purchases only from shops with 50 employees or fewer (based on the ACA definition of small business), striving for improvement over perfection!

Hope this can at least get some wheels turning in thinking about ways to support our local economy!
