So Today…: WTF San Francisco Edition
This morning:
- I was awoken at 2 AM by a persistent car alarm
- I dragged myself out of bed at 8 AM
- Rode the 14 down Mission Street, saw an unspooling of gentrification
- Asked friend why all the folks who looked a bit unbalanced got off at 16th street, was informed that 16th is where the drug dealers hang out
- Got off at 22nd, watched a man have a philosophical debate with himself
- Walked through a Latino neighborhood, to reach a brunch spot with a predominantly white clientele
- Talked Dani and Jamilah’s ears off with random stories (luckily, they seemed amused)
- Got a heart in my hot chocolate
- Took the BART to Berkeley
- Gave up on waiting for the bus to campus and walked in the rain
- Met Catherine, had coffee
- Arrived, disheveled, at the Empowering Women of Color Conference
- (Hair was sticking up like horns and no one told me.)
- Watched panel
- Realized total and complete tech fail
- Listened to 20 mins of Angela Davis being awesome
- Had to leave to randomly interview Goapele
- Got a text from Yoda which made me smile
- Realized awesome reframing of website plan thanks to Angela Davis
- Listened to Nas’ “Made You Look” on the way back to the Bart
- Got off at the right stop for once
- Almost was killed by an ambulance speeding down the wrong side of the road
- Realized hair is fubar
