Horrifying.

Utterly horrifying.

Wanna tell officials what you think of this? We tell you how.

We also include a letter by a clinic worker and community member who objects to this. We could have just quoted her. But we thought it was important to let her speak for herself.

Issue 2 of the TL Voice zine hits the shelves! Thanks to new distribution partners, you can get the zine at more locations.

Locals have been asking us, "Where can we get your zine!?"

Here's where! We're partnering with nearby organizations on print distribution. www.tlvoice.org/issue-2-tend...

Thank you SO MUCH for saying this. We are trying very, very hard to show up for the TL and the people who live and work here.

Sentiments like yours help keep us going.

TL Voice @tlvoice.bsky.social is the neighborhood media that the Tenderloin has deserved for a long time

sf and bay area friends who care about local independent journalism: check out the tenderloin voice! they are doing really cool and crucial work centered on a vibrant and neighborly part of the city that is much maligned and deserves more love

Brave browser does wonders, I'm finding. In fact, I'd gotten used to it. Then I tried watching Amazon Prime without it... ack! This is how people live? I'm paying for prime but I still have to watch three sets of commercials per episode of Fallout? Horrible!

Happy #LocalNewsDay! It’s a day to connect newsrooms and communities, and since we’re new here, we’re asking for your help getting to know more people. All day, we’ll be sharing how. First up: Forward our newsletter! Links to our latest below — plus a signup link if you need it. Thank you!

— Community organizer Tyree Leslie on "The Compton's Cafeteria Riot" play.

Have you ever felt an orchestral performance? Been within arm’s length of the violinists, the timpani’s thunderous drumming?

I hadn’t, prior to this Tenderloin event. The sound vibrated through me. As the volume swelled, I discovered a knot in my throat. And the experience has stayed with me.

It just May be

Joy and resistance are intertwined For Transgender Day of Visibility, we must confront the forces bearing down on our community.

Today is Transgender Day of Visibility.

Breonna McCree, co-executive director of San Francisco's Transgender District, reminds us that happiness itself is a form of resistance. www.tlvoice.org/joy-resistan...
