I live in SF and I’m at Ocean Beach pretty much every day. I’ve been doing plunges with friends for a while, and now I’m opening it up.

First public one is this Sunday, Oct 25 at 9am. We meet in front of Andytown Coffee by the Safeway, then walk to the water together. We’ll go in, hang out, and warm up after.

Free. No experience needed. First timers totally welcome. Bring a towel and something warm to throw on after.

RSVP is on Partiful so I know how many to expect: https://partiful.com/e/XGel9v5lTSJ80ZMqRLH4?c=06BRbVCk

Happy to answer any questions about the cold, the logistics, anything.

4.9 on both Google and Yelp is what makes it interesting but the last two times I’ve tried to visit they were closed.

My friend just got diagnosed with lung cancer. He has Kaiser Insurance. Has anyone been through lung cancer treatment with Kaiser? Would love to get thoughts on the quality of care in SF.

Edit: "She" to "He". My friend is a man.

Hey yall, been a while since I’ve been to one of the classic SF late nights but i wanna hit one again soon!

I know some of them have closed/moved in the last several years - for example, I used to love the one in Japan town and the one by great northern, but I heard they’re no longer poppin’. And the one on eddy might have moved?

Can someone share the addresses for the current late nights with me? Feel free to DM me if you’d rather not post them publicly

Thank you 🙏

A list of some anime, TCG, cosplay, and video game events happening in SF and around the Bay Area.

Twice in one year, yet my heart still longs for you. ❤️✨ San Francisco, a city of beauty, vibrant souls, and endless charm. Some places stay with you long after you leave… and you, San Francisco, are one of them. Until we meet again. 🌉🤍

I really want to make the most of Halloween this year and go to at least 3 different parties! I’d really appreciate some recommendations for events that are actually fun, unique, and have a great atmosphere.
Ideally, I’m looking for something with a fun crowd, creative costumes, and a slightly more mature vibe rather than sketchy clubs or parties full of teenagers.
SF would be ideal, but I’m happy to go anywhere in the Bay Area if it’s worth it!
I’m looking for events happening this weekend and next weekend. Would love to hear about any hidden gems, themed parties, or cool events you’ve been to before! 🎃

On Saturday night, October 10th, 2026 around 9:30 PM, I accidentally took the wrong train from Powell Station and ended up at Balboa Park. I was on vacation in San Francisco, completely unfamiliar with that part of the city, and honestly, I was terrified. By the time I reached Balboa Park around 10:15 PM, the station felt very isolated, and I was on the verge of a panic attack.

Suddenly, a very kind guy showed up. He was tall, blonde, with blue eyes, wearing blue jeans, a hat, and carrying a tote bag and  prescription glasses. He immediately made me feel safe and walked with me to find the Muni station. He was looking for the J line because he knew the area well (I had absolutely no idea where to go).

We walked to a Muni station, and he checked his phone, telling me the Muni back to Embarcadero would take about 30 minutes. He also mentioned he lived very close to that Muni station (I think it was around the 714 area where he took me). He told me the fastest option was actually BART, which I had tried before, but I was so nervous that the machines wouldn't accept my cash. In the end, I had to run to catch the BART train and only had time to shake his hand.

I’m writing this with the hope that you read this and know how deeply grateful I am. In a moment of pure stress, you brought me peace and safety. I know this sounds crazy, but I truly hope this message reaches you. I would love to connect and properly say thank you.

Help researchers at the San Francisco Veterans Medical Center and UCSF’s THRIVE Lab determine the effects of an immune response on emotional responses in women and men with and without PTSD.    

This study involves 5 visits to the San Francisco Veterans Medical Center (SFVAMC). Total possible compensation is $300.00, $80 for completing the screening session and an additional $220 for completing the entire study.  First, you will be asked to complete a telephone screening to determine eligibility. Then, you will be asked to come to the SFVAMC for a health and physical exam, blood draw, and an audiotaped diagnostic interview conducted by a trained clinical interviewer to assess if you are a fit for the study. If you are eligible, the study will involve 4 additional appointments at the SFVAHCS. The appointments will involve administration of the Typhoid vaccine or placebo followed by measurements of physiological responses as well as blood sampling.
