First decorations I’ve seen up in SF this year. Appropriately timed before the start of October 🎃
As if traveling/visiting Scotland isn’t fun enough, what an incredible night seeing @thepastels.bsky.social AND @bobpetesarah.bsky.social at Barrowland. It was hot as hell upfront but definitely a night I will never forget.
Playing the Barrowland Ballroom tomorrow night with @thepastels.bsky.social supporting @bobpetesarah.bsky.social - on at 8pm if you’re coming
As much as I despise constant and cold Pacific ocean headwinds, present conditions are highly migraine inducing for me. So, life is hell 🥵
When I was younger, there was a period when I bailed on shows I had bought tix for, mostly due to laziness. This behavior has come back recently, now because I find I just don’t want to go 😕 Unfortunately, the $ stakes are much higher these days.
Damn someone off loaded some hella expensive indie pop singles at Amoeba SF
Transit systems will fail and be virtually unusable sounds to me like a pretty big burden to the lowest income level users, who of course can’t afford a car. Not surprising that Mercury would dignify a gaslighting piece that says otherwise.
Seeing junk AI (art) content initiated by co-workers really is a barometer for the degree to which art plays a role in their lives.
There’s a certain satisfaction pointing out/preventing an illegal turn onto Page at Stanyan
I was bummed to miss this during the SF FILM screening in April but thoroughly enjoyed it at Opera Plaza tonight. The rhythm and slowly exposed artifice were so good
I'm ashamed to say I hadn't heard of this until today, but maybe that's because it doesn't seem to be a big thing in the US. Nonetheless, I committed myself to what I believed was right back in 2000 and have never looked back.
Stamp Out Speciesism
August 27 is World Day for the End of Speciesism, and until we stamp out speciesism we won’t be able to call ourselves an ethical society

We mourn the passing of Dolly Parton, whose classic Jolene was covered with an electropop treatment by Strawberry Switchblade in 1985 for their final UK single. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcHu...

Omg the @jeanines-band.bsky.social make such perfect pop songs. And all the better they’ve got some Massachusetts rep ✨
A lovely night at SF Bay Popfest, with particularly enjoyed sets from Lightheaded and the Aislers Set
It takes a certain kind of a person to rock an Earth Crisis shirt at a twee pop festival
One of the most depressing parts of the perpetual fog in SF in July and Aug is that these are the latest sunsets of the year (SF's was Monday). But I haven't seen sun before 12pm or 3pm pretty much every day 😿

Bay Area Group Files Lawsuit Against Transit Funding Measure, Says It’s ‘Deceptive’ | KQED
Demanding a court injunction, opponents of the proposed November ballot initiative say it is biased and undercounts what the tax will generate.

Omg there is some god awful contemporary cover of A Girl Like You playing at this office and now I think I need to go wash out my ears
Took me three tries but finally found an (in stock) vegan pastry on Fillmore. Serendipitous, perhaps, since this is a pumpkin loaf and a RASPBERRY matcha latte
So this is what 250 years gets us, America? The most corrupt and self-serving representative of our country we've ever seen? What else do we have to look forward to? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Someone should make a book that collects the ‘street art’ that is illegal lines, red paint, boxes, etc made by entitled property owners. Companion piece: found art of cars carefully positioned to block sidewalks.
Hopefully the last time I have to pass through here for a while! 😬
