I have been threatening to write this essay for ~2 years

thank you to @supermarke.bsky.social @48hills.bsky.social and @litquake.org for hosting an event that finally made me write it
It is too on the nose for the most beloved bodega cat in the Mission to get killed by a Waymo. It’s a heartbreaking and deeply cliché entry in the annals of San Francisco gentrification commentary. Delete it, please, and try again.

In Which We Deserve Options Other Than Rapists and Robots
I don’t want to be assaulted by a driver, nor surveilled by cat-killing robot cars. Is this really the best we can do?

It should go without saying, but please don't use Chat GPT to write pitch emails

I'm getting a ton of pitches right now, which is great, but almost every one is about a big subject without a specific angle. For some pitching tips here's a real old thread I wrote x.com/dannosphere/...
Dan Gentile on X: "I know there's much more successful/talented writers than myself that've made threads like this, but a few tips for freelancers pitching stories to editors:" / X

Here's a PITCH CALL for the #freelancewriters out there. I'm looking for Bay Area stories on venues, characters, trends and historical stories, TV/movies/music with SF ties. $250-$400+. Email me with an angle, not just a topic, and include a headline. cc @studyhall.bsky.social Here's examples... 🧵

The Bay Area Maker Faire was this weekend at Vallejo's Mare Island. Makers showed off robots, drones and all sorts of unusual forms of locomotion. Presentations taught aspiring makers from 2 to 92 how to get started building their own wild inventions.

Few @sfgate.com stories have generated as much feedback as Charles Russo's discovery of a set of lost Ansel Adams photos that were never before seen by the general public and unknown to even his biographers and archivists.

We figured some of it might be worth sharing:

Profiled John Law, a Merry Prankster who may very well be the most interesting man in San Francisco @sfgate.com www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...
He co-founded Burning Man. It was the least interesting thing he ever did.
After a tragedy in 1996, John Law disavowed the festival he helped launch.
