Take it slow
The San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department is opening up streets for an unobstructed walk from Golden Gate Park to the ocean. The new walking routes “will be in effect throughout San Francisco’s Covid-19 response to provide more space for people to enjoy socially distant recreation in nature,” according to Rec and Park.
Spanking Machine at Brava
This Saturday, the Brava Theater for Woman and the Arts is featuring a “The Spanking Machine,” a live-streamed solo play by Marga Gomez. “Shifting across gender, latitudes and generations, Gomez shares the story of the first boy she ever kissed and how it made them gay forever,” Brava says of the play. “By turns funny and disturbing, Gomez recounts growing up brown and queer in New York, sadistic nuns on poppers, tender vampires, childhood misdemeanors, parental post-nasal drip, sexual assault and suppressed memory.”
The play will be live every Saturday at 5 p.m. until Oct. 11. Buy tickets here to watch this weekend.

Help the folk artists
