If you live or work in child care, restaurants, food handling or agriculture in one the South County Zip codes listed, you can walk in and be vaccinated Sun.-Thurs. at the Border View YMCA. No appointment needed.

Public health workers in Oregon were driving back from a coronavirus vaccination site when they got stuck in the snow. They then walked from car to car, giving shots to drivers with vaccine doses that would expire in six hours. nyti.ms/2MADvUb

A potent symbol of Trumpism: a guy using a flag to destroy a journalist's camera. The will to power must prevail over instruments that document reality.

I have been doing a lot of reviews this year. In addition to the usual Major Comments/Minor Comments sections, I have started adding a "Various Compliments" section to my reviews. I hope this catches on. It has been fun. :)

Who are the Proud Boys you ask? In short… Right-wing extremists. Described as violent, nationalistic, Islamophobic, transphobic & misogynistic. Read more from our expert here: adl.org/resources/back…

@Greergo @c40cities @Kevin_Faulconer No better time to explore new urban planning and mobility options than during the natural experiment we are experiencing now! Would love to see San Diego leverage its expertise in #design #placemaking & #micromobility @SANDAG @DesignLabUCSD @DesignForwardSD

Having lived in a 15-minute city for years, and now in SD owning a car for the first time since high school, I'm extremely heartened by @c40cities' call for a non-reversion to "normal" (i.e. car-ravaged cities). Mayor @Kevin_Faulconer, why isn't SD in C40? bit.ly/3h42GIY

To those in the leadership positions in academia re-affirming actions to address equity and anti-racism: sustaining those commitments will work only if you (a) back them with real resources and (b) ensure your faculty/students/staff of color do not shoulder all of the work.

So realize this: White supremacists are using this opportunity to incite more police violence against those who are peacefully organized.

I stumbled across a dozen or so of these DIY signs labeling local plants on my walk today. Delighted by the many #tacticalurbanism (tactical herbalism?) projects popping up that make my neighborhood feel more like a community. Thanks, mystery makers! #prototype #DesignThinking

What an energizing and inspiring group we had today for the D4SD Summit! Congrats to presenting teams—we look forward to hearing about and continuing to support your #DesignThinking efforts in San Diego! @DesignLabUCSD

Just some bird/quarantine puns for your Monday 🤪 #birds #corvidnotcovid #sciart #birdwatching #downywoodpecker #californiascrubjay #americandipper

“Two semi-trailer trucks, cleverly marked as food-service vehicles, met us at the warehouse. When fully loaded, the trucks would take two distinct routes back to Massachusetts to minimize the chances that their contents would be detained or redirected.” #COVID19

I’ve been thinking about this moment from the campaign a lot these past few weeks. Nearly one third of rural Americans don’t have access to high-speed internet. Congress investing in affordable broadband services is more important than ever.

@DrSherryPagoto @UConn @bethlinas @CaulfieldTim Just read a great article from @HumaneTech_ that might help with framing, and suspect they will have more useful resources on role of social media in coming weeks wired.com/story/opinion-…
