“Body fascism.” maybe an internet buzz term but it’s not new. From toddler panties for women to makeup kits in the toy aisle, men in charge want women to think they have to be smaller, younger, and subservient. It’s so much easier to control things when people feel insecure, and the industry has been perfecting the trick for generations. Don’t buy the products; don’t let yourself disappear.

A 17-year San Francisco punk institution, Thee Parkside, is shutting down, another casualty of gentrification dressed up as “progress.” Of course, it’s more than a venue loss: it’s the erasure of a living, breathing community hub where music, misfits, and chosen family thrived. Unchecked development isn’t just displacing people, it’s hollowing out the soul of the city. The final nights at Parkside double as both a celebration and a protest, capturing a scene that refuses to go quietly, even as it’s priced out of existence.
