After sitting around this morning nursing hangovers, wounded egos and sad souls, we realized that life must go on and for many people in the area life is already tough and will only get tougher. So SFist is going to bring you a weekly column highlighting local charities or non-profit organizations looking to make everyone's lives and the places we live just a little bit better. You can be angry and hate the government just consider also working with, donating to or generally supporting some local organizations that can use our help. We're not above guilting you into it. Getting agitated every four years and yelling at all your friends, who by the way agree with you and wish you'd stop already, is played out. Working every day to make the world a better place is sexy. And who doesn't want to be sexy? more ›

Our EssEffist Emeryville correspondent received, unsolicited, an Alameda County permanent absentee voter application in the mail yesterday and noticed that it was addressed in a bizarre order: middle-first-last. The county says it's a simple mistake. We sure hope so. more ›
