#hangingout — Public Fediverse posts

[ Altano ]

Pendante ... elen
dum liberatempo,

Supren bluĉielo
super nubmaro

Suben kovrita
la tutan valon,

Panoramo sunteraso
ŝvebas ... pendante.

Young San Franciscans aren’t drinking at bars. They’re at the library

Young San Franciscans aren’t going to bars. They’re hanging at the library

Is it any surprise that young people like me are forgoing moody bars for free books when a glass of wine can set you back $20?

It’s no secret that young people in San Francisco don’t frequent bars and nightclubs the way they once did.

This has left many perplexed. If the city’s dwindling population of 20-somethings isn’t drinking and dancing, what are they doing?

This 20-something has spent much of her time this summer at the San Francisco Public Library. And based on my observations, plenty of other young adults have, too.

No, we aren’t geeks. The library is cool.

To start, it’s a free third space — a perk that cannot be overstated in this ridiculously expensive city.

I recently visited the Chinatown library shortly before it closed at 8 p.m. There was barely an empty seat in the house. And it was impossible not to notice the sizable number of young adults.

Is it any surprise we’d forgo a moody bar when a glass of wine can set you back $20 these days?

Meanwhile, the library’s marketing and community engagement teams have made concerted efforts to capture the attention of millennial and Gen-Z audiences.

Their smart gamification strategy is working.

The library offers a tote bag as a prize for completing its Summer Stride program — which challenges residents to complete 20 hours of reading from June through August.

Last night I played Fear and Hunger 2 while hanging out with @PapiKitsune and I kept having to pause to take deep breaths. And he kept saying, "But you haven't even fought anyone yet!" 😹 It's the anticipation though!!!
And then I couldn't go to sleep because we played it right before bed.
Someone save me from myself. 🤭

Hubby: how you feeling?
Me: no delusions of functionality
Hubby: glad to hear you’re not delusional at least

Still, today I am upright and have built a tiny to-do list. Starting to return to the good old me. Slowly. And with naps.
