I couldn't be more excited to support my very own housemate Adi Melamed and dear friends Patricia Mou, @rose.bsky.team 🌹🦋 and Jason Benn building the vibrant, nerdy, cozy hangout spot we've all been waiting for in SF. Come check it out!

the bay area is quietly coming back (e.g. people who left are moving back, lots of interesting dinners/events happening, new generation of builders moving in, etc)

So proud of and grateful for Adi Melamed and Patricia Mou for creating my home-outside-of-my-home in San Francisco. Exciting to be leading a creativity-focused circle this spring 🎨!

Introducing a new type of civic tech made possible by AI. Every citizen should have a live, systems view of their government and today we bring that to SF! Track gov entities, spending, news, and more in real time. With LLMs, we can bring this to every city. Who's next?

Love the work Michael Adams is doing to bring visibility and engagement to local government. Congrats on the launch! His How SF Gov Works class is great too— (writing.civlab.org/p/how-sf-gover…)
