Hi everyone,

We are looking for a wonderful forever home for a very special girl named Cleo!

Cleo was found living under a house with a litter of 7 tiny kittens. She proved to be an incredible, devoted mother, and we’re happy to report that all seven of her babies have found loving homes. Now that her kitten-rearing days are officially behind her, it’s finally Cleo’s turn to be pampered and loved as someone’s cherished companion.

About Cleo:
Age: ~2 years old
Personality: Extremely sweet, gentle, and affectionate. She loves companionship and soaking up attention.
Health: Spayed, fully up-to-date on all vaccinations, and healthy.
Location: Woodside, CA (available for meet-and-greets locally / on the Peninsula).

Please DM me if you’re interested in learning more about Cleo!

(Please feel free to share or upvote to help Cleo get some visibility!)

Traffic on 85 suddenly slowed and we saw a man wrangling a giant inflatable pumpkin on the side of the highway. I assume it flew from someone’s yard.
Just another day in the Bay!

I’m on Almaden expressway facing highway 85 bridge.

since january 2025, more than 4,000 volunteers have come together through UCP to clear 1.7 million pounds of illegal dumping from oakland and neighboring cities, including berkeley, emeryville, and vallejo.

behind every pound removed are people showing up, working hard, and fighting for the communities they care about. this organization wouldn’t exist without our volunteers…seriously!!!!

our work also reaches beyond cleanups. through compassion threads and our weekly distributions, we provide clothing, food, and essential supplies to people who are too often overlooked, including those living in the areas most impacted by dumping.

and we’re seeing the lasting impact as so many of the spaces we’ve cleaned are staying clean, with beautification efforts helping keep them that way.

1.7 million pounds is an incredible feat. but what makes us proudest is the community behind it, and everything we’re building together to make the bay area a better, brighter place.

Full moon rising over Coit Tower and Saints Peter and Paul Church in San Francisco, with Mother Nature providing a gorgeous sunset to give the clouds some color.

calling all gen z to post your experiences, I am just really lost as to what to even do with my life right now. Granted nobody has it together, but id like to hear from people in my age bracket thats barely trudging by in the fast paced environment of the bay area

I am 25M, have a useless associates degree in video production, and working a deadend job for a snack company that services bay area offices, in which I watch people our age make upwards of 100k+ in ai while I make a measly 50k. I have thought of going into a trade backed by a union, but I find it extremely confusing on how to even get into one, aside from the constant warnings of rampant nepotism, and long list of applications that could take years to even get to your name. thought about going back to college, but doing full time classes, I don’t think i would make rent every month / don’t know of the most accessible career to try with the local colleges here in Oakland/berkeley. I also have in the back of my mind of moving to Chicago, which reminds me of the bay area alot, that doesnt have a tech culture. but guess what, i have no money to move! awesome!

i am simply exhausted and defeated being here. and im not even sure what career i want at all. originally i was very into filmmaking / it was my first job in a nonprofit but branched out becauze i was burnt out creatively. now, ive been jumping between delivery driving, retail, event/gigs, and having a crisis 25/8. trust me, ive been scavenging job fairs to see what even calls to me, but nothing truly grabs me for what to take up as a longterm career. what will be untouchable by ai? what job wont make me want to kill myself after a few months? oohhhh boy, to be born with wealth and no worries.

I'm currently on Aetna PPO and thinking of moving to Kaiser HMO due to it being much more affordable. My only chronic illness is GI related. Last year with Aetna, I tried to get an appointment from multiple GI specialists in different hospitals, and the wait was multiple months for all of them. So I started to question if I'd really benefit from the "flexibility" of PPO.

I would love to get some opinions.

So pretty!!! 🤩🤩🤩

This year’s Marathon Hike Day was a blast! We upped the distance to 40 miles to celebrate my birthday, and a dozen brave Redditors woke up at the crack of dawn to come hike under the moonlight with me. We toured the South Bay wetlands and crossed the bay over the Dumbarton Bridge. In eight years of marathon hikes, this group had the highest success rate ever, and almost everyone hit a new personal mileage record! Thank you all so much for making my birthday hike so fantastic.

See you all next year! We’ll be back on our normal 26.2-mile schedule for the next one.

From Mochi's pet parent: "Thanks everyone for your care for Mochi. She was found today (Sunday) and is back home safe.  Thanks you for all your support and thoughts."

EDIT: Mochi's dad's and her grateful family's message this Monday morning for the Reddit community:

Thank you to everyone for your support during the difficult weekend that Mochi was missing. She is home safe and unscathed. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Seen north west of San Jose at 7:50pm tonight.What is it?

Between Mountain View and Palo Alto on the Bay Trail

Just heard a Full Assignment Response (multiple trucks) call come in over the San Mateo County Fire Dispatch for reported smoke coming from Original Joe's. Anyone nearby see anything?

I went to a neighboring open house where the listing agent’s loan officer buddy was giving out fliers. The numbers are astounding.

This is for an 1800 sq ft ranch house built in 1960s in Cupertino/Sunnyvale area.

It would take $6k per month to rent it.

The listing price is nearly $3M. 20% down would require a lumpsum of $600k to be locked into this beauty. And then the mortgage payment at 7.5% prevailing interest rate for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage is $16,800 per month. Add $3000 per month for property taxes and you get to pay essentially $20k per month for owning this beauty for the next 30 years.

Who is insane enough to buy these crappy 1960s ranchers for so much money now? Why not rent them for $6k per month instead of buying for $20k per month. It is impossible to achieve rental parity if you buy today!!!

Hi everyone!
I’ve been fostering a mama cat and her litter of 7 here in the Bay Area, and these two little girls are the last two looking for their forever home.

They are bonded—almost always curled up asleep together, playing tag, or grooming each other. Because they bring each other so much comfort and confidence, I’m committed to finding a home where they can stay together. Two kittens are genuinely easier than one: they keep each other entertained, burn off each other's zoomie energy, and never get lonely when you're out!

About them:

Age & Gender: 13 weeks old, both female
Medical: Fully vaccinated and already spayed
Temperament: Playful, affectionate, well-socialized, and great with litter box habits

Mama is also available for adoption. She’s 2 years old, fully vaccinated and spayed. Last photo is mama. She was living under someone’s house with her 7 babies.

If interested in learning more, please send me a DM! I’m happy to chat, answer questions, and share more photos and videos of their sweet personalities.
