One of my earliest memories in S.F. was taking in the joy and skill on display at the roller rink in GGP every weekend. 🛼 That made working on this story with @afontradio SUCH a treat. Loved learning about the Godfather of Skate! Read & Listen: kqed.org/news/11924576/…

It's out! Our Golden Gate Park series launched today with an episode about how the park was made — from desolate sand dunes to a verdant, tree-filled park. Thanks @NostosNic and Christopher Pollock of @RecParkSF for coming on the show. kqed.org/news/11915008/…

"Why are we here?" Sen. Murphy presses fellow senators in emotional speech after Texas elementary school shooting. "I am here on this floor, to beg, to literally get down on my hands and knees and beg my colleagues ... find a way to pass laws that make this less likely."

I love thinking about how tiny this planet is in the grand scheme of things.

On 4/20, @amayaedw5 and I were sent out to cover the festivities. I interviewed Mike “Big Mike” Barnes, a minor celebrity in the Bay Area cannabis scene. He used the n-word unprompted in our interview to the face of two Black journalists. 1/6 kqed.org/arts/13913301/…

A Gilded Age-themed Met Gala during a time of astronomical income inequality, a day after May Day?! 😭 a little on the nose
