Mainstream media loves doom, despair, and a sensational headline. But hopelessness is their tool, not ours. Meet COYOTE's First Aid Kit, our service journalism series where we'll pursue intersectional, evidence-based, and sometimes light-hearted solutions to the challenges of living in the Bay Area.

Alan traces the evolution of Bay Area airbrushing through three generations of artists: from a decades-long flea market vendor to Deandre "Airballin" Drake, painter of Formula 1 cars and Playboy bunnies. www.coyotemedia.org/spray-area-t...

After years of fundraising, @hospitalityhousesf.bsky.social has purchased the 3-story, mid-Market building housing its fine art studio. For artists like SupremeRivi11, the space provides community — but also art supplies and a gallery, things in short supply for low-income San Franciscans.

COYOTE is the best. You need to subscribe. Thanks @soleilho.com and everyone!

Don’t let me spend more than $2500 at the Chinatown night market in Oakland pls

Being back in the Bay has been revelatory and heartwarming. Stuff soon.

“We need photos of Tule Elk” My pleasure 😝

Oakland, I’ve finally returned from my long-term side quest in search of the “there” in “there’s no there there” Results: “There” is in us, not on us.

🎉 WE DID IT! We hit our initial $80K goal in just ONE WEEK! 🎯⚡ The response to COYOTE has been incredible—thank you SO MUCH to everyone who believes in independent, worker-owned journalism for the Bay Area. But we're not stopping here... givebutter.com/coyotemedia

Can't get enough billionaire-free media and independent reporting—local, national, international? There's a starter pack for that (link in the QP) and it's still growing! I just added @coyotemedia.org in the Bay Area, a media collective crowdfunding NOW to launch in late summer. Pitch in if you can!

TAG YOURSELF which Coyote are you? And while you're at it, join us at @coyotemedia.org and support our new org. The rewards are fun, and if you get a nature walk I might teach you about seaweed foraging or lichen identification! Right now I'm 3 but in photos I'm always somehow 1.

Join me in supporting Coyote Media Collective, a new worker-owned publication stacked with some of the most talented writers in the bay area and launching later this summer. Cannot wait to read this.

Photographing a rally in New Haven and I can’t feel my toes 🥶 @ 21° F

Oakland! New year, new issues. Don’t change.

Attention photojournalists! The deadline to apply to this new fellowship is Feb 2. Named after Issam Abdallah, a courageous Reuters visual journalist, who was killed on October 13, 2023, while covering cross-border shelling on the Israeli-Lebanon border. careers.thomsonreuters.com/us/en/job/JR...

Good evening. Checking in with my folks—I am still photo-ing. I am still resisting. Miss y’all and see y’all soon.

Congrats @momo-chang.bsky.social and @amir.photo on a great story and powerful photos! That one shot of the crab's claws creeping out the top of the crate made me jump 🐳🦀⚓

I won 1st place in Environment reporting from SF Press Club for a @berkeleyside.bsky.social story about whale entanglements, the local Bay Area dungeness industry, and the impact of regulations on local crabbers and communities. I share this award with editor Tovin Lapin & photographer @amir.photo!

How do I set my website up to be a provider? 🤔

Another app don’t mind if I do
