Underscore_SF
Blog
Founded in 2022, Underscore_SF was organized under the axiom that what makes San Francisco — (and, by extension, the Bay Area) — so remarkable is its underbelly. Its peculiarities. Those quirks. These idiosyncrasies.
How songs that might otherwise exist unsung in different metros reverberate off the city’s 44 hills in gripping orchestras. San Francisco remains a bastion for left-of-centrism… even amid all its problems; to live in the seven-by-seven is to confidently juggle juxtapositions and dichotomies with proactive intention.
This is what Underscore_SF celebrates: The personalities, stories, and voices that make this slice of Northern California wildly distinctive. But we’re not above holding people’s feet to the fire either, nor are we poised to sit idly in the wake of dehumanizing, immoral, corrupt actions.
We’re unorthodox. We’re opinionated. We’re hyperlocal.
Underscore_SF, too, exists outside the cannon of large-scale corporate ownership and organization; we’re independently owned and operated, helping fill the void of Bay Area indie publications that have gone the way of dodo birds over the past decade.
We’re here to say, while simultaneously standing as a safe space — an online stronghold if you will — for San Francisco’s indisputable authenticity. And we thank you for being a part of this ongoing journey with us. Source

Search ArticlesMy San Francisco Love for the Ladies of Jazz
How nostalgia, musings, and melody have shaped my musicality (and playlist tastes). I remember being in the garage with my dad as a little kid, watching him slowly walk over to the radio and turn up the volume on the song that was playing. It made me take note of the beautiful voice coming out of the speaker. It made me think that not only did my dad love the song, but it also held some memory for him.
San Francisco District 8 Candidate Gary McCoy Eats Out
I’m proud to stand with Gary McCoy in his campaign for District 8 Supervisor. I’ve said this before: I’m just one drag queen without a political action committee or big money backing me. I’ve been a part of San Francisco’s queer community since I was a teenager. I care about our City. Recent headlines about the District 8 Supervisor race have been extremely disturbing. What hasn’t been discussed is a real conversation about who brings the proven experience and leadership that District 8 needs.
The Workweek Catch-Up: San Francisco Queer Man Reported Missing This Week Found Safe
Plus: A quick assemblage of (fake) homeless encampments sparked more than a few “311” calls in San Francisco’s Financial District earlier this week. Friends and family of 32-year-old Gabriel Carreon noticed his absence and lack of communication this past week had grown uncomfortably long; Carreon was last seen on July 7th around noon. Up until Saturday morning, he was reported missing in San Francisco.
California Condor Population Soars to Over 600 Individuals, First Wild Egg Laid in NorCal Over 100 Years Doing Well
The conservation success story of the California condor is one, quite literally, for the history books. Brought back from the brink of extinction, a population that once numbered less than 22 individuals has, through means of careful habitat restoration and captive rearing initiatives, grown into a population now estimated to be over 600 birds strong — an over 20% increase from previous estimates.
San Francisco’s Speed Cameras Are, Indeed, Working
Since speed cameras were first installed in San Francisco last February, an average of 40,000 speeding cars have been taken off the road each day. The survival odds between a 20mph car crash and a 40mph car crash are unnervingly stark. A pedestrian or cyclist struck by a vehicle traveling at school zone speeds has about a 90% chance of surviving that crash, with the odds of walking away without major injuries at about a coin toss.
Two People Just Rode Bay Wheels Ebikes From San Francisco to San Jose for First Time Ever
With 35 miles of estimated range, a pair of pro-transit enthusiasts tested the limits of Bay Wheels ebikes, taking two from SF to SJ … with at least a 16-mile range discrepancy in tow. San Francisco is an epicenter for the nation’s micromobility movement — set inside a region that’s changing and defining the future of car-free travel.
First Lady’s Documentary Flops in San Francisco With Only Dozens of Tickets Sold Ahead of Opening Weekend
Melania is expected to make around $3 to $8 million this weekend — way, way short of its $40 million production budget alone. Melania Trump’s evasion of her own husband (and most responsibilities as the First Lady of the United States) deserves admiration and study. Melania’s presence in the White House has remained sparse; she comes in, and through sliding glass doors, it seems, only to disappear moments after a press junket.
In Memoriam: A Love Letter to Wig Master Rosalie Jacques of Rosalie’s New Looks
She was a true quintessential San Francisco character I first met Rosalie in 1993, when I visited her wig and hair salon, Rosalie’s New Look’s, in North Beach. After moving to San Francisco from Stockton in 1957, fresh out of beauty school, Rosalie quickly found her place doing hair. She soon opened her own shop, making wigs for the drag queens at Finnocchio’s nightclub and styling the topless dancers of North Beach.
San Francisco Was Warmest Major City in Lower 48 Today While America Freezes
San Francisco will also be one of the warmest major cities in America over the next week or so as another Arctic storm barrels into the United States. Record-breaking temperatures and life-threatening winter conditions — mercury readings and snowfall that tens of thousands in Minneapolis are pushing through to protest ICE and its inhumane, fascist advancements on the midwestern city — continue to constrict the country.
SF Mountain Lion Internet Named ‘Jumanji’ Has Been Captured and Will Be Relocated
San Francisco police, animal control, and even SF Zoo vehicles encircled Lafayette Park earlier this morning to contain a lost mountain lion after the big cat was spotted in and around the area over the weekend and into Monday evening. With the help of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), the young cougar was successfully trapped and subsequently tranquilized.
