The Culturally Rich History of Office Temping

One of the most common rites of passage a young person must endure is temping at an office. You always promise yourself you’ll never do it, but the bills add up and the hourly rates can be quite tempting. Temping can expose you to the wide world of corporate culture.

This New Literary Magazine is a Gift to the People of San Francisco

I’ve got some awesome news! We received a grant from the Civic Joy Fund to put out a literary magazine celebrating SF and acting to counter the stupid “Doom Loop” narrative. It’s a gift to the people of San Francisco. And after months of working on this project it’s now available

Movies for Less at Cobble Hill Cinemas

Movies are fucking expensive. Seriously, finding a theater that will let you escape reality for less than $12 in this city is practically unheard of. It’s not just tickets: I recently paid $4.50 for a bottle of Dasani (102 degree heat wave, I was desperate okay?) at a theater in

Ticket for One – A Guide for Solo Movie Screenings

Once upon a time I used to think going to movies alone was a sad sign that you were slowly turning into a crazy cat lady/man, only one step away from buying a collection of ‘œcooking for one’ cook books. My present self now wishes I could bitch slap that

Summer Films at MoMA

Movies in New York are the biggest rip-off ever. I refuse to believe that $13 is a legitimate price to see Jake Gyllenhaal play the Prince of Persia. Two dollars would be more reasonable, and I should have the option of a full refund if any of his gratuitous shirtless

A Broke-Ass Guide to Seeing FREE Movies

This movie is racist! They are playing off racial stereotypes of both black people AND leprechauns. Seeing movies is great and all but it can be pretty expensive.  I mean in cities like San Francisco and New York, movies cost over $10!  That’s just ridiculous.  What follows is a list
