@ChaelNeedle @adamsnest Happy New Year Chael!

@DaniKramer14 That’s Rosa’s exoskeleton. Tarantulas shed every year, by growing a new skin, under the old one. The back hatch (upper right photo) pops off, and they slowly wriggle out of the hole, wearing a velvety new suit. Their new exoskeleton hardens overnight, and they’re good to go!

Tarantula pieces. Her name was Rosa

This doesn't fit the trash rubric but I know yinz like critter parts. Box of quail feathers and tarantula exoskeleton. Quite old, so it's in pieces and would be an allergen nightmare. $15 local pickup preferred, shipping would turn it into even more dust.

@LindaSusanParr2 Thanks Linda!

@MediumSurface try the myturn.ca.gov site and check out availability at the Oakland Colesium. Late today, they opened up lots of appointments for 50+. (Be sure to click arrow on top to change month to April.) They are giving J&J vaccines.

Californians 50 or older can now make appointments, if available, on myturn.ca.gov.

@pameliorate @MattHaneySF Call (628) 652-2700, leave your name, date of birth and zip code, along with your phone number. They said they'll call back regarding appointments at city sites for 50+. When I phoned at 4:30pm, I spoke with someone and got on the waiting list for Rankin St./Hunters Point site.

@MattHaneySF Any idea when myturn will add appointments for Moscone? I’ve been refreshing nonstop for a week and there’s been nothing. Lots of available appts in LA zips but none in SF 🤷‍♀️.

For over six decades, Varavara Rao, the revolutionary poet, captivated generations with his critical poetry and prose. Now he is in danger of succumbing to #COVID19 if he is not released from prison, where he has been held on trumped-up conspiracy charges:bostonreview.net/arts-society/v…

The best in the business.

@SarahBodman Hi Sarah, will you still be accepting postcards if they are mailed this weekend from the US? My work can be found at @privateyesf on instagram. Thanks for all that you do--you're an inspiration. XOL
