It's not like New York, where people just give each other space,

These most recent tech-bros in #NoeValley seem to be actually afraid of regular people just walking around in their own neighborhood.

It's really weird.

I have a Lab, one of the most innocuous dog breeds. And they act like he's going to attack their rare-breed-skittish-thing.

It's weird.

There are times, most of the time, when I grieve for my city that was.

The yuppies were nothing, compared to the tech-bros. The tech-bros who have moved into my neighborhood are overwhelmingly antisocial and destructive. Some are lovely, but most are not.

This isn't just about remodeling, it's also about antisocial people walking antisocial dogs. Like they're afraid of the people they live next to.

Gotten to that episode of the first season, when they visit the young man on life-support dying of AIDS.

Shit this brings back so many memories, when I was so very young.

Back in the 80's, the owners of the little shop I worked in lived upstairs. As did many shop owners in #NoeValley.

I remember my boss's mom, also my boss, bringing Jim milkshakes upstairs. He was fading.

And then he was gone, like so many others. Just gone.

The other day, I participated in a super-local protest, in my #NoeValley neighborhood of San Francisco.

Was chatting a bit with the folks near me and I mentioned Mastodon, and one person asked me 'how do you find interacting in the fediverse, outside of mastoston?'

I mentioned that it's hard to tell, for me

I'd update to say that one of the easiest interactions I've experienced to far has been with pixelfed. But I'm thinking that it's just a numbers game. I notice pixelfed account interaction
