The San Francisco #Pride Band led a march for the first screening of "The Times of Harvey Milk" at the #RoxieTheater. The crowd included members of the cast of the new show “Harvey Milk Reimagined”, a couple of Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and many theatergoers and fans of the Roxie. #SFPrideBand #HarveyMilk #sfba

(Edit: a video of them playing Chapelle Roan's “HOT TO GO” finally posted--see comments.)

When I went to the store yesterday, I noticed eggs are back to around $10 for a dozen at Safeway.

A few weeks ago they WERE $6, which I thought was reduction, however, come to find out that was only a weekly sale 😐

Is this a new norm?

Price gouging?

As ‘Bot’ Students Continue to Flood In, Community Colleges Struggle to Respond

Community colleges have been dealing with an unprecedented phenomenon: fake students bent on stealing financial aid funds. While it has caused chaos at many colleges, some Southwestern faculty feel their leaders haven’t done enough to curb the crisis.
