Just found out about something called the #SanFrancisco #Queer Arts & Music Festival. It is May 31-June 7 at various venues. However, looking at the website, the events seem to be mostly “DJ Showcase”, “Drag Performance” or “Cocktail Night.” Maybe more is still to be announced since it says on their about page “QAMF brings together local legends, national talent, DJs, bands, drag artists, visual artists, venues, locals, and visitors for a week of movement, connection and queer culture across the city.”

The #Meta Oversight Board is a supposedly independent body (they are funded by an irrevocable trust) which hears appeals related to violations of Meta’s policies. The most recent appeal they are hearing relates to a pre-election #AI video of #Hungary politician (and probable next Prime Minister) Péter Magyar, which many users flagged but Facebook said was ok.
