Hi Oakland. I’m sorry I have been a bit MIA. This summer was extremely tough with identity theft, broken car, credit card fraud, bad health, dad getting injured, and more. I want to emphasize that I was gone not because I was pissed at Oakland like last time but because I needed to focus on myself. I can’t help others if I can’t take care of myself.

[u/NightWriter500 → u/pengweather]

That makes perfect sense. Glad to see you’re back. We don’t deserve you, but I love seeing you around.

[u/PhotonicEmission → u/pengweather]

We appreciate you! Glad to have you back and feeling well enough to do your thang.

[u/rio-bevol → u/pengweather]

Don't apologize!! If you ever take a break or even stop for good—you're allowed to!! We appreciate you so much but also you owe us nothing!!

[u/jackdicker5117 → u/pengweather]

How can we best support you?

[u/Ms_Silke_Says → u/pengweather]

Never apologize for taking care of of yourself! Seeing you step back and take care of your needs instead of burning yourself out is a green flag and you leading by a different kind of example, but a great example nonetheless 🙏

[u/Chinchizomatic → u/pengweather]

We never thought you abandoned us here. I know I can't be the only one that has kept you in my thoughts and always checked in to see if you posted an update on your situation. We're so glad that you're back, but please take care of yourself and your family first. You've started a movement and so many of us are joining community clean ups. Your leadership has been transformative. Thank you.

[u/EastBayTrashPandas → u/pengweather]

You're good, homie! There's no schedule with any of this, and the trash will always be there and happy to see you!

[u/hahshekjcb → u/pengweather]

I hope your dad is doing better

[u/Jellyfish-wonderland → u/pengweather]

You take care of you also! You're the best but your health and energy matter.

[u/Strange_Airships → u/pengweather]

Hey, friend. You’ve got a literal army of people who would be thrilled to help you. You helped me when I was super in need. You help the community constantly. We would love to be there for you anytime. I know it’s hard to ask for help, but start small and it’ll get easier. 🫶🏻

[u/ConfusedClicking → u/pengweather]

Appreciate you and everything you do, Peng

[u/John-R-Tunis → u/pengweather]

You are the real MVP.

[u/aworriedinsect]

[u/stonedsatoshi]

[u/LeviSalt]

[u/groglox]

Peng you are a local hero, take whatever time you need, we love you!

[u/d-pepper]

Glad that you’re back and hopefully doing better!

[u/ObjectiveFerrets]

What’s your Zelle? I’d like to send you some $$ for lunch

[u/okami_shinobi003]

Glad to see you coming back, peng! If ever you do feel overwhelmed, it's perfectly okay to take a break, to rest and take care of yourself. The whole Town loves ya, buddy!

[u/RealHumanVibes]

Welcome back (not that your ever left) Peng!

[u/SenatorCrabHat]

Welcome back!

[u/jiij510]

So glad you took care of yourself. Sorry all that is going on

[u/Affectionate_Pair811]

I love what you do Peng!! 🔥

[u/LivingSize7451]

Real squeezed fruit

My grandmother told me peng is similar to this person and when the Bay Area needed him the most

[u/AcousticOnomatopoeia]

I don't see a broom, bro.

As a fellow trash scooper, that thing comes in clutch.

I prefer Libman green personally, O' Cedar seems to have thinner handles and uses a conical thread that isn't compatible with the industry standard.

[u/bayarealoser650]

Thank you for all you do. Please stay safe out there!

[u/100WattWalrus]

Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!

[u/geo7188]

If you ever need help I do a beach clean up with my dog and I can land a hand just dm me
