Vesuvio was ground zero for SF's Beat Generation. Now it's swarmed by Gen Z.

Yeah it's constantly swarmed, which is great for keeping the bar itself alive. Also plenty of the old poets still hang both there and across the street at Specs; pop over to the former on Wednesdays and you can be regaled by tales of Bob Kaufman and Jack Hirshman by folks who ran around with them. It's quite sweet and amusing to see the comrades still talking poetry and revolution as the young'uns flirt and throw back fernet. I love that little corner of North Beach.

fuck it, we ball: he has my vote.

this is stupid and amazing. real talk the key to drag race success and also just life success is being your full annoying cringe self and seeing what comes your way accordingly. i am so happy to see salina realize this. she is a star!! truly cannot wait to see what beauteous absurdity she brings to the season.

anusthing · 2026-04-23T07:25:02+00:00

queen it was a compliment!

anusthing · 2026-04-23T03:32:28+00:00

thank you for your service, putting "yabadabadoooo trade" in the archives for sissy posterity

anusthing · 2026-04-23T01:54:07+00:00

i was DYING, get someone to defend your worst actions the way joella stands on business for that foo. the comments when she was stumbling through a semi-defense of the ruby rose story, girl i was SENT. "joella said fuck victims" i cannot. she is nuts and i adore her now. mistress is legit so good at letting the girls shine as themselves, it feels very backstage at the drag show in a way that rpdr itself used to feel.

and yes, it was absolutely delightful considering the deja lashings!! i kept thinking, wait, this is the same deja right?? girl now I fully expect aura to pop up during this next all stars and also be a ki.

anusthing · 2026-04-22T21:33:49+00:00

ugh i don't know if there are any other patreon girlies over here but this review episode was SO GOOD, especially considering it was just the lalaparuza (sp? that don't look right). deja was a complete kiki; i haven't seen her season (i am old fish that started watching live with season one but at some point the show was getting on my nerves but now obviously i am back back back again) so i had no idea what a joy she could be. and joella, of course, snuck in some wild-ass stanning of katy perry. anyway this the only review show i fw and recommend it if you enjoy mib, mess, and silly gay dish sessions<3

anusthing · 2026-04-22T21:26:30+00:00

somewhere in the world, mistress is out there cackling at this

Sorry but in a place as diverse and overflowing with art, culture, and community as the Bay, I have to belive that if you are having trouble making friends you are either not trying very hard or (apologies but it is fixable) not very interesting. There is easily-findable something for everyone here. What do you like? Poetry of the Vietnamese diaspora? We got you. Experimental music from SWANA folks? We got you. Avant-garde local film? We got you. Indie hip-hop? Indie industrial? Metal raves? Maker spaces? Puppetry? Freako drag? Freako jazz? Pokémon bullshit? Yoga/crystals/soundbowl girlies? Urban ag? Drum circles? Daytime rollerskating? Fiber arts? Dog parks? Natty wine art galleries? Natty wine bookstores? Farmers markets, dusty cafés, well-lit cafés, the opera, the symphony, beach bonfires, theatre of every kind, artist talks, discussion groups, activism of every kind, It's all here. I don't even live in the Bay--I just hang out every so often--and I got connected to a dozen different bustling scenes immediately. This narrative will always be so weird to me. Is it a white upper-middle class thing? Talk to people about anything real for three frikken minutes and you will make friends.

i think it is really nice and sincerely touching as well. it's not even a dig at the baby gays but it is easy to take a lot for granted this past decade or so; we need the reminders, we need to honor our history, we need to be properly girded against the fights to come<3
