Unga

A secret language created by and for the "Castro Kids" of San Francisco, California (circa 2000) to facilitate anonymity whilst conversing in public places or around people you'd prefer not understand your conversation. Frequently also used in public spaces to illicit confusion, curiosity, and generalized bewilderment within the faces of nearby strangers.

Girl, did you see their faces on the train when we suddenly starting talking in Unga? That leather-daddy started looking like he was all constipated and shit!

Stop The Violence

Stop The Violence is an long-running campaign of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, started by Sister Roma in 1989. It began in response to violence against LGBTQ people in San Francisco and elsewhere, with signs that were/are freely distributed to businesses and residences. When displayed, the signs alert people, at a glance, that that building is a safe space to come if ever needed. You can check out their FaceBook page for updates, information, and to find out how you can get involved. Go to FaceBook and Search: StopTheViolenceSF.

I noticed that Cliff's Hardware finally replaced their Stop The Violence window sign. It's about time! That other one was faded and barely visible. If you want one for your space check out The Sisters' FaceBook page.
