Finally, a decent article about the neighborhood I live and live in: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/07/us/tenderloin-neighborhood-sf-art.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

I live here because it’s gritty, because of the people, because it has my food and my groceries. I also acknowledge that there are people in great misery here, and that they are my neighbors, even if they don’t have a roof over their heads.

Another new book alert

Kids on the Street: Queer Kinship and Religion in San Francisco's Tenderloin

"explores the informal support networks that enabled abandoned and runaway queer youth to survive in tenderloin districts across the United States. Tracing the history of the downtown lodging house districts where marginally housed youth regularly lived beginning in the late 1800s, Plaster focuses on San Francisco’s Tenderloin from the 1950s to the present."

The highlight of my day: absolutely waking up to see a pineapple bun float around my head in a video.

Spokes and folks, the best SF YouTube series, is giving away vouchers to my fave Tenderloin restaurants (Sweet Glory, Lapats and Cantoo)

From PBS NewsHour

Del Seymour works to secure long-term employment for underserved communities in San Francisco — particularly in the troubled Tenderloin neighborhood.

Here he is to share his Brief But Spectacular take on restoring people’s dignity.

“So our governor decided to pay us a visit. He walked around the Tenderloin, which he never did much when he was mayor, and decided that the best solution to the fenanyl crisis is …. the National Guard.

Funny, a guy with orange hair who once was president and thinks he can be again just suggested the same idea to the Conservative Political Action Committee.” #sfpol #tenderloin #nationalguard
