This week the San Francisco Board of Education voted to rename 44 schools, including Abraham Lincoln High School and George Washington High School.

The Covid-19 has been highkey* terrible the past year and I can’t wait for it to be over. However, there have been a few positive things that came about. Over the summer I pointed out that baguette bags now fully cover the baguette. Another thing I noticed recently is how much cleaner Safeway baskets are. Before Covid, they used to be absolutely disgusting, like they hadn’t been washed in years. They seem to be way cleaner now, and for that, I’m grateful.
*Did I use that term correctly? I’m trying to expand my slang usage to keep up with the younger generation.
