1/ SF's Unidos en Salud—grassroots Latino activists + UCSF docs—was quick to ID racial disparities, provide testing, food banks, and so helped—maybe more than any other factor—keep the city's COVID rates low. Must read piece by @moatman and @julia_lurie motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
2/ I live around the corner from the food bank operation that Unidos ed Salud and the Carnaval operation runs a few times a week. It is truly epic in scope, helping so many stay fed this year. motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
3/ The approach of Unidos en Salud, using trusted community members, supplying wrap-around services has also meant that the Latino population of the Mission/greater SF is far *more* likely to embrace vaccines than national averages. motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
4/ Their approach is now being emulated by other cities. So, if you want to read a COVID success story, or learn what it would take to have this kind of success elsewhere, this is a must read.
5/ And fantastic photos by Mike Kai Chen motherjones.com/politics/2021/…

1/ Just finished Allen v. Farrow, which was as gut-wrenching—especially to sexual assault victims, like me—as I knew it would be. As someone who’s followed this case over my lifetime, I’m ~same age as Soon-Yi, I have thoughts.
2/ I’ve already displayed my bias. But it is not bias. It is knowledge. But you don’t need a personal history of sexual assault to see what Allen himself put in his films all along.
3/ I think he’s a genius (or was) on some levels. But geniuses can be monsters. We know this, but we struggle with it. But I knew, the first time I saw Manhattan, as a teen, that something was deeply deeply off. And that young women were being gaslit as Mariel was in the film.

why is it so hard for so many men to properly wear a mask
is it about condoms
why do i think that the men who can never wear a mask properly are the same guys who will lecture you about the proper ways to park or code

What are the things your parents/schools left you totally unprepared to do?

Me: basic home repair (idgaf about cars, but that too), financial planning
As a math-impaired Quaker journalist, I suck at financial planning on a Vulcan chess level. I'm fearful, guilty AND suspicious.
I finally set up a living trust. Not everything is in it, but... And my long-suffering friend is walking me through consolidating rando bits into some index funds.

Have a great CPA who does my taxes. Worth every dime.

I hate every iota of it all. Elevated heart rate hate.

1/ the horrific murder of #SarahEverard by a cop, the national reckoning about women's safety and the brutal response of the Met makes me want to share a story of a run-in I had with British men and cops when I was studying in Oxford the summer of 1988.
2/ So first: a lot of town/gown, and UK vs US factors also apply to this story, those I didn't fully understand at the time and will not get into.

Suffice it to say, I was studying there with a bunch of Americans, most British students were on holiday.
3/ A few of us, including my friend John who was travelling around, went to a pub, then after lined up for a "disco" (basically a bar that stays open after pubs). Some local guys on a stag, pushed their way to the front of the line.

"For the people who know Hammer’s family—peppered with Russian communists and American oil tycoons—the allegations are an unsurprising development to a long and sordid history with drugs, sex, dysfunction, and betrayal."

whew, buckle up.

I would like to thank Biden for acknowledging that those of us who lost loved ones in the past year to something other than COVID could also not be with them at the end and celebrate their lives in the ways that we would have. motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
Since I couldn't give a eulogy to my dad, this is what I could do. It'll be a year in six days: legacy.com/obituaries/sta…
I'd also like to thank @PaulSalopek—who worked with my dad when he was young—for sending me this Merwin poem when my dad passed, which I put in his obit. My dad was so proud of him and his work.
