good morning @coyotemedia.org

I just LOVE what's been happening in the aisles of Seafood City. Joy and whimsy - what will sustain our communities right now, if we can manage to find and create these moments for each other.

Read @emmaruthless.bsky.social on the Waymo that killed her neighborhood cat and the ways we delude ourselves into accepting evil forces, somehow, in our cities.

While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...

My latest for @kqedarts.bsky.social. The Chinese Culture Center of SF started in 1965, during the Civil Rights Movement, as a response to 'urban renewal' and the threat of community erasure. It's shaped the culture of SF Chinatown ever since.

While this federal administration has been busy empowering ICE to become, essentially, an extrajudicial militia allowed to disappear people from our streets, the Bay has been organizing. We will not be beaten down.

Litquake (@litquake.org), the Bay Area’s sprawling literary festival, kicks off today! Check out picks from COYOTE staff, including events featuring @annaleen.bsky.social, @susiebright.bsky.social, @vietthanhnguyen.bsky.social, @janelleblarg.bsky.social & more www.coyotemedia.org/litquake-gui...

tried to write a breezy lil show preview for @coyotemedia.org about Mabuhay Gardens’ reopening party wound up twisting myself into knots over SF’s musical nostalgia issues and how to reconcile the words “tech week coworking space” with “birthplace of SF punk” www.coyotemedia.org/mabuhay-gard...

A few months ago I started looking into a missing sculpture. I had no idea I was in for a sculptor with an endless parade of wives, a religious awakening, and a freaky pie. www.coyotemedia.org/where-did-th...

Awoooo! We hope you are enjoying reading our stories as much as we've enjoyed creating them! 🎉 We were so excited to share our work with you that we made all COYOTE content FREE for 2 weeks. Today, we're implementing registration and paywalls on the site. Here's the scoop... 1/4

We had some really cool pieces go up this week at @coyotemedia.org! 〰️ neighbors taking care of one another in the face of ICE 〰️ towns not known for protest standing up for Palestine www.coyotemedia.org/albany-and-e... 〰️ a complicated win for trans folks www.coyotemedia.org/but-what-did...

“I’ve been looking for this for my whole adult life, really. And finally, I feel like I’ve found something,." A grassroots group for Palestine started with bake sales and street protests but has grown into something much deeper: a mutual aid support system, and a source of life-changing friendships.

My first story for @coyotemedia.org is about the towns I grew up in, small cities that even I dismissed as being "too quiet" or "in a bubble." Read about Albany and El Cerrito for Palestine, a group of neighbors that have created a joyful, mutual aid collective while organizing for Palestine.

NEW on @coyotemedia.org this morning: a delightful story about Albany and El Cerrito showing up for Palestine, written by Albany’s own @cecilialei.bsky.social, and edited by Albany’s own me

I love love love this story from @cecilialei.bsky.social about two East Bay towns organizing for Palestine 💚❤️🤍🖤 “I think we try to bring, in all this darkness, some joy and creativity in the work that we're doing. I'm just having a hell of a good time.”

If you were lucky enough to be at last night’s @oaklandballers.bsky.social game you not only saw them win it all — you were also in the presence of some elusive statues that the team is on a mission to rescue.

​After months of dreaming, scheming, plotting, and building, we are SO ready to celebrate the official launch of @coyotemedia.org! 🥳 🎉 Join us at Mad Oak this Sunday, 9/28, for an evening of clinking glasses, giving daps/high fives/hugs, and if the mood is right, a collective howl at the moon? 🌙✨

Must read from this new indie Bay Area publication.

I could write a 3,000 word piece about what it's felt like to launch a worker-owned newsroom. But all I'll say is, hot damn I love this crew. and billionaires should absolutely NOT own the news. thank you so much for supporting @coyotemedia.org 🚀

*cautiously peers into the bluesky universe for the first time* hm, alright it seems okay here. hi! 👋
