ZeeThis poor baby! Does anyone know what the black feathers are? Is it molting? Something else?
I just got hit by a young white man on a bike while walking on the Lakeshore sidewalk at #LakeMerritt in #Oakland.
I wish I had the presence of mind to give him a good dressing down.
Something like "You could have paid a little bit more attention and prioritized your speed just a little bit less and none of this would have happened. Or you could use the bike lane"
He kept asking if I was all right, and my fight/flight/freeze/appease response was flipping between fight/appease so fast that all I wound up doing was telling him that there is a bike lane, and then yelling that at him repeatedly as he rode off.
Mary Mazzocco@glasspusher That is TOTALLY #LakeMerritt
14missionI'm looking for info on #Oakland #CriticalMass, but not finding much online, and actually some of what I see is conflicting.
I *think* it happens on the first Friday of the month (most CM's happen on the last Friday, but making it a different day than @sfcriticalmass is cool so you can do both), and starts around #LakeMerritt (by the amphitheater?). Does anyone here know for sure?
Gonna add in a few more hashtags that might help this get seen: #OaklandCA #OaklandCriticalMass

Everything north of Eagle Ave (so Jean Sweeny Park to the Estuary!) was marshland. (Modern day implications for building a swimming pool in a seasonal wetland...)
If the 1857 map can be believed, oak woodland went right up to the beach on the south!
Imagine if we planted even a small fraction of those oaks - our songbirds would be so happy!
Did a chill lap around #LakeMerritt today. 10:40 pace, so a bit slower but at least I'm back on the wagon after a 3 week break while moving.
