Evidently, Stoni isn’t familiar with slowing down either, as she’s been occupying her time by \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CallHerStoni/status/1251240115227123714?s=20\">drawing folks\u003c/a> on commission—she’s done over 20 pieces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pReD5WRO3vI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 4.6875em;float: left;line-height: 0.733em;padding: 0.05em 0.1em 0 0;font-family: times, serif, georgia\">O\u003c/span>ne of the silver linings of this downtime is the ability to get familiar with artists I should’ve been listening to. For example, San Francisco’s \u003cstrong>Troy LLF\u003c/strong>, who just released \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/troyllf\">\u003cem>Til Death Do Us Part II\u003c/em>. \u003c/a>Troy LLF’s mature lyrical approach is a great counterbalance to the party music our region’s often associated with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another artist who’s newly on my radar is Oakland’s \u003cstrong>Mahawam\u003c/strong>.

The new 420-friendly video for his song “\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/tv/B_NbXTSFLPN/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\">Birthstones\u003c/a>” is a great introduction to his lyrical space odyssey of an album, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://ffm.to/spaceninja\">Afronaut\u003c/a>\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Need more vibes?

He’s from West Oakland—specifically, Acorn–and he’s a musician, multimedia maker and a self-proclaimed introvert who’s found solace in creating a safe place for others to be themselves. That space was a weekly talent showcase called “\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/LooveAtTheLake/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Loove at the Lake\u003c/a>.” Last year, in its first year of operation, it was featured in the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.sfchronicle.com/2019/visuals/lake-merritt-backyard/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But now that people aren’t (supposed to be) gathering en masse, he’s spending his time shooting and editing videos for the music he’s continually making.

And now, he creates something new, constantly. When asked what the key to it all is, he simply says: “I just participate in life, bro.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s as simple as that for some of us.

And now, he creates something new, constantly. When asked what the key to it all is, he simply says: “I just participate in life, bro.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s as simple as that for some of us.

After getting transferred from Telsa’s Fremont factory to the one in Reno, he now lives in Nevada. He’s so committed to his craft and community, he used to drive back and forth just to record tracks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few weeks ago, I saw him in person and he told me about life on the interstate. How living in Reno isn’t that bad, though some folks say the city’s name is an acronym for “Run Every N*gg* Out.” He says Nevada’s open carry laws have made living there more comfortable than in Oakland, at least when it comes to weapons. And he’s even gotten accustomed to the long slowdown over Donner Summit when there’s a storm approaching. The image of Kaddo, a black man with locs and gold teeth, putting chains on his car tires in the middle of the snowstorm sticks with me. It’s a reminder that although my commute is bad, \u003cem>it ain’t that bad\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s still bad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13865533/daps-and-hugs-im-moving-out-of-oakland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">moving out of Oakland\u003c/a> to Sacramento three months ago, I’ve seen a lot: car accidents, roadkill, sunsets. I’ve driven past the charred fields from fires that scorched the grassy hillsides adjacent to the Carquinez Bridge. One day on Amtrak, my phone died, so I biked home through hail. When I turned my phone on, I learned a tornado had touched down in Davis at the same time my train went through town. And then there was the day the dammed refinery in Crockett exploded; it caused my Greyhound bus to take the supremely scenic route—a four-hour detour through Stockton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I often ask myself, what’s the difference between a “commute” and “road trip”?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve grown extremely familiar with the highways and byways between the Bay Area and the state capital. I know best times to go through the Yolo Bypass, as well as the MacArthur Maze (hint: never). I’ve gotten familiar with where CHP likes to hide out to catch speeding drivers. Hell, give me a few more months and I’ll have memorized the grazing patterns of the cattle alongside I-80.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’ve reluctantly fallen in love with this commute, and how it gives me time to think about more than just Oakland. But I always end up thinking about Oakland. If we’re going to be honest, I’m suffering, bro. It ain’t even FOMO. It’s POMO—the pain of missing out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It hurts to not be in the town for small events. You know, potlucks, movie screenings and earthquakes—“Earthquake Twitter” just isn’t as fun from outside of the club. I think anyone who’s left home goes through this process. You know, where home isn’t home anymore, and at the same time, your new home isn’t home either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I’ve been trying to hold on to things that remind me of home.

After getting transferred from Telsa’s Fremont factory to the one in Reno, he now lives in Nevada. He’s so committed to his craft and community, he used to drive back and forth just to record tracks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few weeks ago, I saw him in person and he told me about life on the interstate. How living in Reno isn’t that bad, though some folks say the city’s name is an acronym for “Run Every N*gg* Out.” He says Nevada’s open carry laws have made living there more comfortable than in Oakland, at least when it comes to weapons. And he’s even gotten accustomed to the long slowdown over Donner Summit when there’s a storm approaching. The image of Kaddo, a black man with locs and gold teeth, putting chains on his car tires in the middle of the snowstorm sticks with me. It’s a reminder that although my commute is bad, \u003cem>it ain’t that bad\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s still bad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13865533/daps-and-hugs-im-moving-out-of-oakland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">moving out of Oakland\u003c/a> to Sacramento three months ago, I’ve seen a lot: car accidents, roadkill, sunsets.
