@mariyadelano it’s a mix. 1) Community (both IRL friends and online friends I’ve met on the journey)—with shared interests, values, geographies. 2) High-value commentators and experts in various fields. 3) Breaking news—global, national, also hyper-local. 4) Weather and transit updates, and #quakestodon. 5) A fun timeline is a bonus for occasional mindless/bored scrolling, so in that case memes, shitposting—for that I like my app (toot!) as it lets me easily check out other local timelines.

Projected losses from a major California earthquake soar.

The expected annual cost from earthquake damage for California is climbing sharply amid an increase in property values and better understanding of how soft soils could result in greater damage during shaking.

California is projected to lose an average of $9.6 billion a year from earthquake damage, the new estimates show. That’s a 157% increase from the last estimate, in 2017, when the price tag was $3.7 billion a year, according to a new report from the U.S. Geological Survey and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

I was wearing my low powered eyeglasses and the alert gave me the minute to swap them for my distance pair and brace myself under the doorway. Would have sucked to have the world crumble around me with blurry vision #sfba #quake #earthquake #quakestodon
