Amazon, I can no longer stay silent.

This is a letter I am going to send to all of Amazon's emails...im not sure which one is the official one corporate will read, but it is better than staying silent.

Hello, I am writing to you, Amazon and Jeff Bezos, to express my concerns over the 900+ data centers you have. As I drive through my county, I can probably count 10 of your centers. This is a ridiculous amount within a 50 mile radius. The long-lasting effects on my health and my neighbors' health is detrimental. I cannot stand to support your company anymore as it seems you only are doing it to line your pockets. There is no reason why you need to continue satisfying your billionaire status when so many of us are struggling in our day-to-day lives. At what point do you stop? Think about our future, our climate. You have become so money-hungry that the devil lies inside of you.

WFH Locations

I’ll be in the area soon for work, any cozy places to get some work done? The coffee shops I am seeing aren’t focused on comfortable seating.

I found a baby crow this morning and now I’m starting a community group because of it

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share something that happened today that really got to me.

I was walking my dog this morning near the pond at my apartment complex and found a baby crow fledgling sitting on the ground. I stayed with it, made sure it was okay and moved it into a bush nearby while its parents were watching. Came back a few hours later and it was gone. One of the parents was just circling above cawing and looking for it and honestly it wrecked me.

Someone took it. That little bird could not even fly yet. And taking a crow is actually a federal offense under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act so I really hope whoever did it knows what they got themselves into.

Anyway it made me realize we kind of need a space for this stuff. I started a Facebook group called Cupertino’s Wildlife & Pet Community for anyone in Santa Clara County who cares about the animals around us. Lost pets, injured wildlife, local rehab resources, reporting mistreatment, all of it. Just a place where people who actually give a damn can come together.

If that sounds like you come join. And if you ever find injured wildlife in the area please do not keep it, just reach out and we can point you to the right resources.

Feedback on Stocklmeir (CUSD Elementary) school?

Considering enrolling my child in Stocklmeir for second grade. Would love to know your experience, please. 

  • Is it project-based? 
  • What does day-to-day look like (eg: do they just sit at their workstations while inside and maybe do some go noodles or equivalent of it or do they also take sometime to play or some breaks in between )
  • Do they use apps to learn?
  • How much PE time do they get?
  • Field trips?
  • Differentiated learning?
  • homework?
  • any watsapp/FB/other social media groups for parents to connect?

Thanks!
