In 1849 were people actually told that there was gold in San Francisco or did they know it was another 80 miles away after they got off the boat?

It sure would be a bummer to get all the way to San Francisco (pre-Panama canal) and then realize you had to go another 80+ miles up on the hills to even have a chance.

@pomCountyIrregs I’ve read that some people thought there would be gold lying on the streets for people to pick up

OK, tomorrow I am going to try again (if exhaustion doesn't get me again) to take the free walking tour of the Castro!

Any good lunch spots near there I should check out?

I met a baby named Barbara and for some reason that is very funny to me.

Just remembering the time a third grader wrote "Ms Harris is a bicth" in my classroom

and I said "Listen, class. I know every single one of you knows how to spell b-i-t-c-h because you tell on each other all the time and spell it out. This is embarrassing that you'd write "bic-th"

And I totally won teaching that day.

OK I know I'm late to the party but that King Charles portrait is WILD.

Remember the student I reconnected with last week? He wanted to loop in his BFF from my class in first grade who is still his BFF so we all three had lunch today.

These kids are from the roughest part of Oakland. They grew up in poverty. They both have good jobs and good partners and are breaking the cycle of childhood poverty in a massive way.

It is so so amazing to see little kids you worried about and tried to take care of turn into awesome adults.

Going into San Francisco in May: bring a sun hat, sunscreen, a sweatshirt, and a jacket. No idea which ones I’ll use 😂

The kid on the far right of the old pic is the adult in the new pic. It was so amazing to catch up.

This gets even better. I knew the kid in the very front of the old pic (whose hand I have a death grip on because he was trying to hit people while taking a pic) died, violently, about 10 years ago when he was 21. The kid in the white shirt right next to/behind him is one I always worried about. I would have bet money he hadn’t survived to adulthood… he had so many things stacked against him.

I found out he is alive and well and the father of another students’ children - they’re co-parenting.

If the Uber driver is illegally driving in the bus/taxi lane because traffic is at a standstill, do I tip him more because he got me home faster or less because he could have gotten us pulled over? 😬

Does anyone have recs for a good mineral sunscreen for face that 1) isn’t like trying to rub white paint into my skin and 2) isn’t super expensive?

My student (8 years old) is thinking of “bad ideas that sound good” (we’re working on ideas for that and “good ideas that sound bad” (controlled burns for forest fires).

What other ideas do you all have?

This is a fun game and makes me wish I were a classroom teacher again because doing it with an entire class of third graders would be amazing.

@finn that last one always scares me even though I know it’s right.

Every time I go to San Francisco I wonder if I can call myself a San Franciscan in any way. I was born there, I'm 6th generation, I've always lived right outside it and always spent lots of time in it but...

I'm the first generation in my family since we came here for the Gold Rush* to not be able to afford living IN the city.

So does that mean I don't get to? I want to be a 6th generation San Franciscan but... stupid housing prices and stupid losing of generational wealth.

*my great-great-great grandfather didn't come to mine, but came to sell overpriced supplies to miners, which I think is where the real money was made.

And my great-great grandfather designed the Dutch Windmill in Golden Gate Park! San Francisco Landmark
