Founder Jamie Broadnax said the meetup celebrates Black women in fandom while welcoming anyone who loves geek culture.

The premier San Diego art exhibition celebrating the work of Black visual artists and creatives. Part of Kinfolk Fest Juneteenth Week. "ONYX: A Black Artist Exhibition" is a celebration of Black creative expression rooted in San Diego. Curated by Imani Camara, the exhibition brings together Black artists who are from or currently based in the city — painters, musicians, visual artists, and storytellers whose work deserves to be seen, documented, and celebrated on its own terms. The exhibition moves beyond singular narratives. Each work on view reflects a distinct voice, medium, and perspective, while contributing to a larger collective portrait of what Black creativity looks like in San Diego today. "ONYX" creates space for ambiguity, experimentation, and personal storytelling — honoring the full depth of each artist's identity rather than flattening it. The title is intentional. Like the stone, "ONYX" speaks to layered identities and the depth formed through connection. It also references discovery — many of the artists featured were found simply through conversation and community, which raises a question the exhibition sits with: how had they not been seen before? This special exhibition date for "ONYX" is part of Kinfolk Fest Week, San Diego's Juneteenth celebration. The San Diego Black art scene is actively taking shape, and this exhibition is both a reflection of that and an investment in it. By bringing these artists together under one roof, "ONYX" affirms that this creative ecosystem exists. Curated by Imani Camara and curatorial assistant Faith Richardson. Part of Kinfolk Fest Week, June 17–20, 2026. Visit: https://www.sdmelanin.com/events/onyx-x-kinfolk SD Melanin on Instagram and Facebook

The San Diego Fixit Clinic is hosting a SD Fixit Clinic at the Ramona Branach Library on September 5. Bring your broken, non-functioning things: electronics, appliances, computers, toys, bicycles, clothes, etc. for assessment, disassembly, and possible repair. We’ll provide work-space, specialty tools, and guidance to help you disassemble and troubleshoot your item and it’s all free, though we welcome donations to keep the movement growing! Whether we fix it or not, you’ll learn more about how it was manufactured and how it worked while trusting it won’t end up in a landfill. Please Note: We do not operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Pre-registered guests receive priority, and repairs are matched to the appropriate fixer. Wait times may vary. Thank you for your patience. Interested in volunteering with SD Fix-it? Click on this link to fill out an application: https://bit.ly/SDFC-volunteer San Diego FixIt Clinic on Facebook / Instagram

In an age of division and anxiety, where do we gather for generative civic conversations? Democracy is more than who we vote for every few years—it’s about how we show up for each other, connect, and build trust. Join us for the relaunch of Civic Saturday San Diego as we explore what it means to build COMMON GROUND. Civic Saturday is a gathering of friends and strangers to connect around the values and practices of being an active citizen, reckon with our shared values, and create new rituals that are joyful and communal. At Civic Saturday we sing, hear poetry, readings and a “civic sermon,” and reflect on how to rehumanize our politics in conversation with each other. Civic Saturday is sponsored through the OneSD Initiative and the Nonprofit Institute at USD, with support by individual civic leaders and host venues. Grounded in the practices at Citizen University, we gather to help one another live like citizens, broadly defined and expressed in this equation: POWER + CHARACTER = CITIZENSHIP. Save the Date for upcoming gatherings: 11/7 - "COMMON FUTURE" in City Heights 12/5 - "COMMON STORY" in College Area Details/RSVP: bit.ly/civicsaturdaysd

In observance of San Diego Climate Week, the Interfaith Coalition for Earth Justice, the Climate Justice Action Group of First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego, and SanDiego350 proudly present the film "The Letter: A Message for Our Earth". This moving documentary was inspired by the late Pope Francis’s concern for our warming planet. He invited frontline leaders from Hawaii, India, Senegal, and the Amazon to travel to Rome for an exclusive dialogue with him. Their conclusion: Climate change knows no national borders. Together – and only together – can we care for our common home. A brief discussion will follow the 80-minute film. Vegan snacks will be served. Please bring your reusable water bottle. When: Saturday, October 3, 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Where: First Unitarian Universalist Church of San Diego, Common Room Address: 4190 Front Street, San Diego, CA 92103 (for GPS: use 298 West Arbor Drive, 92103 - across the street from UCSD Medical Center) Parking: available on lot adjacent to the church.

Throughout the 1960s, '70s and '80s, San Diego adopted stricter zoning laws that effectively banned apartments in many of the city's most walkable neighborhoods.

Money for the Bobier rebuild came from Measure LL, a $247 million bond passed in 2018.
