The Church of the Divine Luminescence proudly opened its doors last Friday in downtown. In a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by over 500 residents, the new Church’s pastor Gloria Hermann gave a grand speech proclaiming its commitment to bringing light and life to every member of the San Francisco community.
“We will bring illumination to all in our tender care”
-Gloria Hermann, March 2024
Gloria continued, making a firm promise to reach out and support our unhoused community, a gesture that has stirred up some discussion.
But what do you all think of these developments?
I’d love to hear from you all in our Q&A below. This is James Gurn of the Independent Gazzete, signing off.
"Most people know Offr.com as the home of the gig economy: a website where you can find a buyer for your old couch, and a worker to haul it away. It’s the home of everything from marketplace goods and bespoke commissions to task fulfillment and transportation services. Some whisper about less-than-legal deals being available on a 'dark web' version of Offr.com. The company denies these claims."
Sooner or later, all Contractors receive an invitation to join Offr Red, the secret membership tier. Offr Red members gain access to exclusive high-confidence, anonymous services. They can sell extraordinary items to Offr or put them up for auction for other Offr Red members to bid on. Crafty Contractors rejoice!
On rare occasions, Offr can even make deals to tie up pesky Loose Ends. However, they always demand a special favor in return.
