Independent reporter Denise Sullivan brings the SFLives series to Bird & Beckett for a Sunday morning livestream, which you can find on Bird & Beckett’s YouTube channel and Facebook page. You can also tap on the shop’s window at 9:55. and we’ll usher you to a seat in the half-light of the shop.

This month’s guest is San Francisco writer Ben Terrall, celebrating issue number 10 of his publication, “Namaste, Motherfucker!”

Terrall writes on film noir, international affairs and domestic drama with wit and wisdom. Besides his amazing output in the form of Namaste, Motherfucker!, his work has appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, InThese Times, CounterPunch, Noir City, the San Francisco Bay Guardian and other fine outlets.

He thanks his parents for nurturing his movie and book addictions from an early age.

The SFLives Project is a series of candid conversations between Denise and many of the artists, activists and free thinkers that make San Francisco the good thing that it is.

Conceived as a print media column called SFLives for the San Francisco Examiner, where it ran from 2018-2022, her project subsequently transitioned into a real-time live streamed conversation produced by Jenna Littlejohn for Bird & Beckett, where it can be seen on our YouTube channel and Facebook page.

Denise is an excellent writer and an amazing champion of the people that are making and remaking the Bay Area the progressive bastion that it is. She’s one of them for sure! We’re proud to count her as a good friend and compañera in the struggle against the corporate consolidation of power and the demagoguery that enables it.
