I signed up to #PBS Passport and I’m donating $20/month to my local station, KQED. It’s a better investment than subscribing to Paramount Plus, for sure. Consider signing up for a recurring donation to your local station to show your support.

Even better, some employers will match your recurring donations. Get your bosses to support your local station!

I LOVE THIS.

An underground group calling themselves the San Francisco Bay Area Bench Collective is installing unsanctioned benches at bus stops. The city can’t be bothered to install them, so these folks stepped up and did it.

City officials interviewed by NBC moaned and groaned about who’s gonna clean the benches and what about liability and that makes me love this group even more.
