This is just to say the Bell Riots don't take place on August 30th. That's the day Sisko, Dax, and Bashir will have been being arrived* in San Francisco. The Riots will be September 1-3, 2024.
That said, instead of rioting, today I honored Gabriel Bell's heroics with a donation to a couple of charities that help the unhoused and the hungry. I've donated to the Hollywood Food Coalition and the SF Marin Food Bank:
Hollywood Food Coalition Building Community since 1987 - Hollywood Food Coalition (hofoco.org)
San Francisco-Marin Food Bank - Every $1 Donated Provides 2 Meals (sfmfoodbank.org)
I made the donations "In Memory of Gabriel Bell." Please consider honored Gabriel Bell with donations of your own to these or other organizations that helped the unhoused.
Thank you! Stay safe out there. Live long and prosper!
Julian Bashir, Benjamin Sisko and Jadzia Dax are traveling back in time to today, the 30th of August, 2024, just in time for the bell riots in just 2 days!!! Happy Past Tense Day to all who celebrate!
DS9 episodes Past Tense I & II take place 30.8.2024 - 3.9.2024.
"...there is one thing I don't understand: how could they have let things get so bad?"
– You don't know what any of this is about, do you? You work here, you see these people every day, how they live, and you just don't get it.
– What do you want me to say? That I feel for them? That they got a bad break? What good would it do?
– It'd be a start.
