re: COYOTE t-shirts… what color do folks want?

I am obligated to remind folks that @coyotemedia.org is queer as fuck, worker-owned, and published this today.

agree please support our tiny empire @coyotemedia.org tho

I edited this one, by @cecilialei.bsky.social, and what really got me was the story at the end, about a 70-year-old trans man from Guangdong who stopped in at one of Chen's shows to tell his story. 😭

I am loving this gay-ass event calendar, which includes 3 (!!) Heated Rivalry events, parties for book sluts and regular sluts, screenings of Selena and Some Like It Hot, and a pop-up serving French dips, the gayest sandwich. www.coyotemedia.org/coyote-calen...

of all the work I've done, one of my favorite gigs was helping Blue out on this adorable and extremely niche graphic novel about gay people who love to eat bugs

@coyotemedia.org, a new media collective in the Bay Area, is irreverent, human, and unabashedly political. www.cjr.org/analysis/the...

This week's @coyotemedia.org calendar includes my logic for why puppets are inherently queer, along with a ton of events (possibly the most events we've ever done? I might have gone overboard?) www.coyotemedia.org/coyote-calen...

Today’s post is for everyone who was upset by our food critic’s attempt at creating a “dadliest band tournament” on Sunday. Choices were made. @emmaruthless.bsky.social and I investigated why.

In which @soleilho.com trolls not only the attendees of the Alameda Record Swap, but also their own colleagues, with this "Dadliest Band Tournament" bracket www.coyotemedia.org/what-is-a-da...

the people have spoken! www.coyotemedia.org/what-is-a-da...

I love this for us. also reminds me of a colleague at the big paper in SF telling me they were criticized by an editor for writing about gay people too much! at COYOTE, it's never enough IMO

CJR interviewed @soleilho.com and me about building an independent, worker-owner journalism outlet that’s fiercely opposed to political bootlicking. (We are also, at times, very funny.) Subscribe at @coyotemedia.org!

Last time I was at the store with my parents, we were looking at novelty socks and my mom picked these up and said quietly, "Undertale?"

NEW: buried within the trove of hacked documents from Madison Square Garden, the folks @404media.co found the company was keeping files on activists that criticized their use of facial recognition. Including me. Here's @fightforthefuture.org's statement: www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2026-06...

COYOTE got covered in @columjournreview.bsky.social! “[COYOTE is trying to] channel alt-weeklies, in their nubby, human, off-kilter, and deeply political attempts to chronicle and fight for the culture of a place.” www.cjr.org/analysis/the...

thrilled to once again present you with some excellent things to eat in the Bay Area, including a classic crab sandwich, a Korean-Mexican pop-up, a double-corn galette, sacrilegious ice cream, and more. www.coyotemedia.org/the-best-thi...

this is so insane

@soleilho.com woke up today and chose violence

tonight! Haight Street Art Center!

(niche) who are some controversial bay area dads

another beautiful piece from Rahawa, and I am selfishly going to add the Canes win over Vegas to this pile of things that have felt like much-needed good news with Much To Think About (a league that waves away sexual assault charges, teams that hire and play alongside sexual predators, etc)

Your weekly reminder that the COYOTE calendar is the best and weirdest little Bay Area calendar, and you should definitely subscribe to it if you live here. (Hell, subscribe to it even if you don't for the inspiration alone.) www.coyotemedia.org/newsletter-s...

I wrote about how New York Knicks Bluesky and World Cup TikTok were politically in conversation with each other over these last 10 days.

it was mean but I allowed it

"It’s hard to see matches pitting England vs. Ghana, or France vs. Senegal, or Portugal vs. DRC, and not feel a way about the ghost of colonialism face-off playing out on the pitch." @rahawahaile.bsky.social www.coyotemedia.org/world-cup-ti...

“Ezra Klein is in Peter Thiel’s secret society with Joseph Gordon-Levitt” is a sentence I have been cursed by history to understand and not even find surprising.

Will a long-empty, but iconic space in Oakland finally get a tenant that makes sense? www.coyotemedia.org/hoopers-choc...

Giants are clearly being punished for not being gay enough!!!

URGENT: should I get the crazy crab sandwich at this Giants game

as a longtime food writer and recovering critic, I love that COYOTE lowkey cosplayed as a food pub this week! with this great coffee story from @paoloshmaolo.bsky.social, in which he shares the refuge and restoration of the queer coffee shop... www.coyotemedia.org/queer-coffee...

Did you know that paid subscribers get access to the calendar's secret HOT TICKET section, in which @reveleth.com highlights events on the horizon that are v likely to sell out? Subscribe today if you don't want to miss out on a crawfish boil and river lesbians 👀 www.coyotemedia.org/coyote-calen...

while I was working on a farm in Minnesota (that happened to be owned by a raging Catholic) for a summer, I would drive 1 hour to the nearest town just to be near the gay people working at the local Caribou Coffee. I was spiritually STARVING

I went seaweed gathering with @nuala.bsky.social and... might have brought home 10 lbs of nori. no regrets!!! www.coyotemedia.org/seaweed-gath...

ate these doubles tragically quickly

"In the same way one should avoid wondering too much about the current whereabouts of a lost love, I try not to think about doubles very often.” Today on COYOTE, we have @soleilho.com writing about the dearth of Caribbean food in the Bay and the splendor of Trinidadian doubles.

does your soul also crave Trini doubles? a new pop-up in San Francisco, led by homesick T&T expats, is making what one customer called the "best doubles outside of Trinidad" www.coyotemedia.org/trinidad-dou...

My book on grief, loss, and culture comes out next month! Want a copy with a signed bookplate, some stickers, and a pin? Hit up my friends @bookpeople.com

In April, @soleilho.com rightly dragged Philz for removing its Pride flags (see below). Today, @paoloshmaolo.bsky.social goes even deeper on the Bay Area’s queer coffee scene: www.coyotemedia.org/queer-coffee...

today on @coyotemedia.org: a story by @paoloshmaolo.bsky.social about the everlasting queerness of Bay Area coffee <3 www.coyotemedia.org/queer-coffee...

really thrilled about finding fresh nori on the beach this morning!!

"the bill would reduce monthly fruit and vegetable benefits from $52 to $13 for breastfeeding mothers and from $26 to $10 for young children."

"Some of my students who walk [the Ohlone Greenway] often noticed a lot of trash... they decided to try to sway people to protect the tree space by making signs saying they were second graders, they named the trees and planted them, and the trees are important to the habitat along the path.” 🥹🌳🥹🍃🥹🌳

I was walking my dog in Berkeley and become completely charmed by these signs, made by 2nd graders, imploring people to be nice to the saplings they planted along the path. I spoke to their teachers about it... and learned that the trees also have names?? www.coyotemedia.org/berkeley-sec...

It's officially Pride Month and so I must remind you all: Pride is a marathon, not a sprint. Hydrate. Wear sunscreen. Stretch. Pace yourselves. Here are some events (not all pride, but... a lot of pride): www.coyotemedia.org/coyote-calen...

The California governor's race is a shit show and COYOTE's very own @soleilho.com is here to help you understand it via DnD www.coyotemedia.org/california-g...
