An extremely important piece of information has come to Jezebel's attention: A Macy's in San Francisco has opted for a rather unique holiday window display. Forget designer gowns or Christmas trees. Instead, the company's Union Square location has partnered with the SF SPCA to fill them with adorable, adoptable puppies …
Young Miles is getting a dream come true thanks to the clever people at Make-a-Wish Foundation. On November 15, the five-year-old, who has leukemia, will spend the day crime fighting his way around San Francisco with his favorite superhero, Batman.
San Francisco, you have officially lost your goddamned mind.
Few people will admit this kind of morbidity in polite company, but it’s fun to fantasize about having a crazy, over-the-top, orangutans-as-pallbearers, Liza Minnelli-hired-to-wail-as-they-lower-your-coffin-into-the-earth-forever funeral (comedian Nick Swardson, for instance, discusses funeral antics with all the glee…

Last weekend's Outside Lands music festival in San Francisco was so fucking fun that apparently the entire city — and quite a few tourists — left something behind.

Lyft, one of San Francisco's most beloved new apps, isn't a bad idea if you think about it very briefly: the city's transit service isn't great, so let's make it easy to pay for a ride
Taste the rainbow, motherfuckers.
The Tamale Lady (Virginia Ramos) is a San Francisco icon. She sells delicious homemade tamales to drunk patrons all over the city, but is a particular institution at a rowdy and crowded bar called Zeitgeist, where she's doled out munchies and advice to customers for over 20 years. Now, Zeitgeist claims the city has…
How fun, a naked San Franciscan did some acrobatics all over the 16th Street Bart Station last month! Well, that's how some local media outlets initially (and very regrettably) described the story. Based on new video footage, the man was definitely mentally ill and/or high — and he aggressively attempted to assault a…
Here we have San Francisco bookstore Adobe Books' "Women's Studies" section: all Twilight, all the time.
Late Saturday night, five women on the way to a bachelorette party died after a fire broke out in their limousine. The bride, who was just recently married, was among those killed. The driver and four other women managed to escape.
Once upon a time, a long long time ago (ok, a year and a half), I lived amongst the techies and burners of San Francisco. I'll always love that beautiful city for its breathtaking views and burritos, but Christ did all that chillness stress me the fuck out. I never felt more like a neurotic high-strung misfit than the…
At a news conference this morning announcing SF's decision to declare Valentine's Day in San Francisco "One Billion Rising Day" — which strives to draw attention to the fact that an estimated one billion women and girls are affected by domestic or sexual violence — District Attorney George Gascon reminded listeners that…
If waving your genitals at casual passersby in San Francisco is on your bucket list (and, let's be real, if it isn't, how can you be sure you're heart's really beating?), then you'd better hurry up and do it before Feb. 1 rolls around and makes genital-exposing in Fog City a much more fraught endeavor. That's when an…
San Francisco nudists are filing a lawsuit against the city and county of San Francisco for violating their freedom of speech in order to prevent city leaders from passing an ordinance that would make it illegal to be naked in public places.

It looks like San Francisco will be the first U.S. city to cover sex reassignment surgeries, thus saving uninsured transgender residents from going into debt due to super costly gender transition operations. Related: San Francisco is the best.
Remember the good ol' days when you could just attend to your urges on public transportation and nobody said boo to you? Crap, piss, saliva, semen, anything goes — those were the days. Except that they really weren't, and it appears that we're still in them. One of the latest reports of such a crime comes from San…
Last year, San Francisco became the first city in California to go after crisis pregnancy centers, faith-based non-profits that are often purposely vague about the services they offer in hopes of luring in pregnant women who expect to hear non-biased information about all of their options, but instead receive…
Susan G. Komen For the Cure's decision to defund Planned Parenthood and the charity's subsequent lying about why they did it should be a case study for aspiring philanthropists on how not to handle a public relation's crisis (or an aspiring clueless rich lady's guide on how to make Regulars hate you). But when the…
While San Francisco is known for being one of the most dog-friendly cities in the United States, the city has recently seen a spike in the number of abandoned dogs brought into area animal shelters, with 2,424 dogs taken in in the last fiscal year, compared to 1,939 in 2008. Equally distressing, San Francisco has long…

In a nice turn of events (for once!), last night an adorable squirrel monkey who'd been stolen from the San Francisco Zoo was returned to his owners unharmed after missing for two days. The monkey, whose name is Banana Sam (which might be the perfect monkey name) was "hungry, trembling and thirsty" when he was returned…
A San Francisco man has been told by the FDA to cease and desist selling his sperm over the internet after helping 14 women become pregnant. The 36-year-old man claims he's simply providing a free service to women who want to become mothers without going through typical sperm donation process; authorities say he's a…
San Francisco's ban on Happy Meal toys goes into effect tomorrow, but McDonald's has already devised a plan that will allow them to keep selling the toys, and may even encourage sales of the kids' meals. Since restaurants in the city can't include a toy with a meal that doesn't meet certain nutritional standards, the…
San Francisco's city government recently enacted a rule designed to combat so-called "crisis pregnancy centers" that are actually pro-life organizations in disguise.

We've heard about how San Francisco is cracking down
