#makevember Day 6: I made another “pattern explorer” to look for interesting shapes with radial symmetry. Only drawing circles.

cars are essentially the privatization of public space. they take what would be a shared public space (the street) and fill it with private, rolling living rooms, both stored and in use.

Dear @MayorOfLA,

Word of the day: “Ginkgo” – from the Japanese “gin” (silver) & “kyo” (fruit); one of the most distinctive of trees, the fan-shaped leaves of which glow radiant yellow in autumn. Ginkgos have been alive on earth for around 270 m years; they watched us arrive & will watch us leave. pic.twitter.com/5t8MG07l29

Are you both safe from the fires? I sure hope so.
Thanks Cincy–yes we are a long ways away and in the middle of the city. Unfortunately my aunt and cousin are right in the path of the fire. Please hold them in your thoughts.
And the air quality is miserable here–worst I’ve ever seen.
Your family will be in my thoughts, as will everyone in California impacted so terribly by these fires. So much of what you’ve posted over the years is information that can help to fight climate change and keep the landscapes green, and I wish more people come to listen.
