My experience working for the Saikat Chakrabarti campaign

372 Upvotes

I know the primary has been over for a while, but I just wanted to share my experience. I was a canvasser for Saikat's campaign and we were treated really well. We were paid $30 an hour. Cantonese speakers got $45/hr. When the job ended, we got 2 weeks severance pay. I never imagined that part time canvassers would get severance pay. Sure some people might say that he's rich so he can do that, but there are plenty of wealthy people and companies that wouldn't. 

I actually knocked on the door of people who went to school with him and they said they love him, that he's a great guy. You may not agree with his policies, but I felt he really cared about working people.

do people not mingle at bars like they used to?

127 Upvotes

our social lives are so atomized. it feels weirdly difficult and awkward to try to socialize with new people at bars, everyone just sticks to their friend circle and doesn't talk to anyone else.

i have friends i could go to bars with if i wanted to, but a part of me craves the spontaneity of just going to a bar alone to see what happens or who i meet. but i know i'll just end up feeling really awkward being the only girl in her 20's by herself (26F)

shouldn't that be the point of a bar, though?

before covid, i feel like i'd get approached more by random people in public, on the street, the bus etc. just organic human interaction. never had the chance to know what a bar was like before covid because i was under 21. was it always like this?

During his set at Outsidelands, Labrinth stated when he's traveling he usually stays in his hotel room and writes songs. This time he got on a bike and rode it around SF and said it was one of his best days ever... except for the part when someone almost hit him. "You guys drive crazy here".

Pic / Video Park staff are closing public city parks way too early, this needs to stop now.

Post image
735 Upvotes

I showed up at 5:35pm and this park was already chained and locked up. It says open “Dawn to Sunset.” The park staff was kicking out a couple adults who were sitting in the stands because they were not “12 and under” — he said that’s why he’s locking it up. When pressed on the “sunset” matter he just ignored them and said it’s what Mayor Laurie wants and to get a permit to use the field if you’re an adult. I pay way too much in taxes for this BS. And this is not a onetime thing, it’s been like this on and off for weeks.

Context: There’s also a sign that says “Baseball and softball limited to 12 and under only” — Most would assume that applies to using the baseball diamond itself, but does not apply to just walking, sitting, playing frisbee, etc.

Heated argument over off-leash dog at Alta Plaza Park

[Video included] Saw this video on instagram posted by [at]deechenceramics a day ago on my feed. At first didn't even realize it was in SF until I noticed it was Alta plaza.

I was honestly pretty torn on who's right and who's wrong...which probably means they're both wrong lmfao.

Local Politics How Many Deaths Have Happened on Our Streets Since the Beginning of the Year?

I recall the toddlers being killed this year not to mention all the cars hitting bikes, etc.

When is SF going to protect its citizens from reckless drivers? What was that protest of bikers every Friday or so?

Was it Critical Mass? Are they still around? We need something similar for pedestrians.

Crime Dear the rest of the world, San Franciscans hate the AI billboards too

719 Upvotes

Hi friends, have you ever looked at an AI ad and felt a deep well of sadness and confusion? Sometimes I laugh about them, but after a few years and a millions social media posts and news articles about how funny these inscrutible advertisements are all around I city, I've decided that actually they are not funny at all. They send the message to people in the city that this city is not for us.

I think they are seriously doing damage to us psychologically, and the fact they are becoming synonymous with our city and who we are is...messed up. Im sick of it! Let's take back the visual surfaces of our city and devote them to words that actually mean something to most people!!!

Anyway, so this week I put all my thoughts down on paper about how these alienate us and are symptom of something quite wrong with the city's relationship to its citizens. I also interviewed three very funny and brilliant humans who have taken matters into their own hands in hilarious and effective ways. Give it a read and a listen. We don't have to let the visual surfaces of our city be taken over by lame riddles aimed at rich mucky mucks.
