Here is a friend whom I’ve known for nearly 20 years. When we first met she was a fellow deckhand for a ferry company, now she’s a chief in the USCG. Bravo Zulu

Just a few moments captured while working on the SF Bay ferry boats. We do everything from hull repairs, to jet rebuilds, electrical, plumbing, oil changes but mostly it’s holding captains hands as they forget everything every morning

Albany Bulb park has a slab section dedicated to POC who have been killed by police. It’s a thing to see. No matter your views on race or the police.
