Pinky Midili is a stuffed animal-collecting, heavy metal-loving, tutu-wearing, self-proclaimed "biker rock star." Born Ronald Albert Midili, Pinky got his nickname from a pink one-piece tutu that he's often seen wearing around the neighborhood. He spent the last six years living in Arizona and traveling coast-to-coast in a "big" RV. Now, he lives at Jazzie's Place, a shelter in the Mission District for LGBTQ+ people.

In moments of urgency, it can be challenging to keep a grip on the rhythm of ordinary life. That's one of the many reasons we publish Fogcutter, SFGATE's weekly column of events, shoutouts and slices of life. Every Sunday, we write about hyperlocal art shows, concerts and cafes. We hope to provide an oasis of quiet when the headlines get loud - not to offer an escape, but some grounding.

Jeffrey Lucas, a longtime friend of KitKat, said the "funniest thing" he ever did with KitKat was "teach him Ukrainian." He taught the bodega cat two simple commands: De kit (Where's the cat?) and Kit tam (Cat's over there). Lucas recalled this while sitting at the end of the bar on Tuesday at Delirium, next to Randa's Market, the liquor store that KitKat called home.

Robert remembers cold windy days in the Mission when many of its trees were little more than promising twigs in the ground! Since, he fell in love with the opinionated poets, artists, and eccentrics who enlivened the Cafe La Boheme. He hopes that others will find some of his photos as surprising as they are to him. Like his hero, Chiang Yee, the author of The Silent Traveller in San Francisco, Robert enjoys being an inconspicuous observer of the world as he discovers it.

For nearly 200 days, a large white police bus sat on one of the busiest transit plazas in San Francisco. And during that time, it cost the Mission District police station 44 percent of its monthly overtime budget, according to Captain Sean Perdomo. The bus - a San Francisco Police Department "mobile command unit" - was meant to deter criminal activity like drug use and illegal vending at 16th and Mission streets.

It's such an honor to be the one to give it a refresh while paying homage to what it was.
