official spokesmitten of rent control



if you vote for prop 98, this cat will be homeless. jerk.


if you're a california voter and you haven't heard about prop 98, you need to inform yourself with the quickness. it is a completely repugnant, horrifying initiative that will end rent control and send rents through the roof. at first i thought it could just be interpreted to end rent control, but if you look at the text it just flat-out says "Prohibits rent control and similar measures." for the record, "similar measures" = requiring new building projects to include affordable housing. this measure is terrible for anyone in california who isn't rich and doesn't own a home. the effects could permanently alter the personality of this area. because of the economics of the san francisco housing market, the only thing keeping rental costs down is rent control. vote against prop 98 on june 3rd. or this cute little mittencat will suffer.

dear restaurant patron,

when you send back your dessert because there are "maggot eggs" in your ice cream, not only will we force your waitress to return to you and, against her will, explain that those are in fact vanilla bean seeds, we will also tell absolutely every single person who works at the restaurant (and many people who don't) and mock you relentlessly for weeks thereafter. possibly months.

best,
your friendly kitchen staff
