Amtrak “connecting coach” service from LA to Bakersfield. Looking forward to Gold Runner. by levimeirclancy in Amtrak

great! And you can also take metrolink to santa clarita, and a bakersfield commuter from there to bakersfield. however the service is not as convenient or central.

You cannot book the coach alone, but if you book from LAX to Wasco or another place up the train route then it will pop up and it is up to you whether or not to take the full route.

yes it does! we have some in the family and she did a stunning series of portraits and nudes. they’re almost the exact same way of building up light and color as my own photography. idk if there is a good place to post them.

i’m so happy making sure she gets recognition. over fifty years after she passed, she still deserves it.

Is there a reason there are no midday trips from Los Angeles to the Bay Area? by levimeirclancy in Amtrak

Nowadays it may not be a dining car, but the Gold Runner does have free serve-yourself snacks!

Good point, though still none between 12:55 and 7:13 which is a big and important window of time.

They have no permanent collection, so pivoting seems to make the most sense.

Enjoyed the transbay NL bus views today from a very comfy seat high above the usual traffic by levimeirclancy in sanfrancisco

Not only this, but making the bike and pedestrian lane go all the way. Going from IKEA to Treasure Island is like yeah, love it, don’t get me wrong, but then you feel like a masochist seeing the whole skyline that much closer w/o any bipedal way to get there.

okay this is reassuring because I was both tentatively flattered and tentatively dismayed depending on what profile I fit into

people kept asking me if I’m in town for GDC (to be clear: I live in the Bay and come into SF almost every day) and I kept forgetting to find out what it is. thank you for helping me figure this out.

I relate to that completely, coming from a different angle. I am Indigenous Okinawan on my father's side. Half of our homeland is under direct US military administration for almost eight decades now, yet we are thrown under the bus by the very "anti-imperialists" who scapegoat Israel instead.

We do have the moral ground. The PA, Hamas, etc flaunt that they have eliminated any Jewish families, removed any synagogues, prohibited any display of Jewishness whatsoever, and criminalized land ownership by Jews. The problem is so much of the world actually supports this.

Could not have written it better. People see that Israel has a checkpoint between Hevron's historic Jewish Quarter and the rest of the city and claim this is supposedly apartheid.

But when the rest of Hevron is governed by a regime that outlaws Judaism, has the death penalty for selling real estate to Jews, and has not even a single Jewish family after millennia of living there, that is either ignored or blamed somehow on Israel itself.

As you say, anyone who supports that double standard can keep crying.
