I wish there was a way to unsubscribe from newsletters that said "it's not you, your work is great, I just can't actually handle the number of emails I get and there's no way I can read this regularly I'm sorry I hope you make all the money!"

If you're a cis person who wants to be kind to your trans and nonbinary friends right now, please do not forward us links to stories about trans people being abused, having their rights taken away, or living in fear. We already know. A friendly "hey I hope you're OK" is much more helpful. 💖

Fucking hell we've already gotten a bunch of clearly AI generated pitches for @coyotemedia.org. Don't do this! We will automatically reject you! Also for some of these the pitcher clearly couldn't actually cover the story anyway because they're not local? What is the game plan here????

tomorrow morning a truck is gonna deliver WAY TOO MANY copies of Sex Change and the City to my house, so anyway I panicked and now you can get 25% off of 2+ copies of SCATC, this week only, with code TWOSHOES. 📚🛒: girldadpress.bigcartel.com It's a trans/queer Sex and the City anthology btw :)

Writers! apply today for 2-6 weeks in @banffcentre.bsky.social's Leighton Studios; a great chance to finish that manuscript, start new thoughts, and gain some solitude and brain-space: www.banffcentre.ca/programs/int...

​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? 🌙✨

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.

OAKLAND WE DID IT!!!! 🏆

This Saturday! I'm going to be part of an afternoon of Feminist Futurism vs Project 2025, at MarinMOCA, organized by the incredible Sistah SciFi. Featuring Faith Adiele, Tamika Thompson, Angela Dalton and me, moderated by Isis Asare. www.eventbrite.com/e/feminist-f...

Today, we’re running an essential story from @leilaniclark.bsky.social about Sonoma County residents taking action to protect undocumented day laborers from ICE raids. The new program, Adopt a Corner, is activism as a simple act of neighborly solidarity.

loved editing this story from @leilaniclark.bsky.social, with photographs by @estefancy.bsky.social It’s about people feeling scared and uncertain and still doing the right thing for each other, because we’re all we’ve got

22-year-old Ward Sakeik, a Palestinian woman who has lived in Texas since she was 9, says her experience in federal detainment could only be identified as “human trafficking.” And she’s not staying quiet about the women she was forced to leave behind. thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/22/w...

Now, she is using her platform to bring attention to the plight of women in detention, like 32-year-old Palestinian Leqaa Kordia, the second Columbia University protester arrested this spring, who has since been dubbed “the forgotten prisoner” while sitting in ICE detention for nearly six months.

I honestly had no idea what to expect from this residency but it was a fucking joy. Take a look at what the Banff Centre has coming up: www.banffcentre.ca/literary-arts

Re-entering the world today after a two week residency led by @amalelmohtar.com, @premeemohamed.com & @aijiang.bsky.social at the Banff Center. What do you mean I have to "go to meetings" and "answer emails" now!?!?! BOOOOOOOOO. (Also if I owe you an email... sorry I will indeed reply this week.)

Good morning to @andrewalden.bsky.social

A 4.6 magnitude earthquake occurred 3 km ESE of Berkeley, California! 🗺️ Coordinates: 37.858800, -122.239800 This is an automatic report and may be revised.

sure would be nice if people called out anti-trans propaganda about our health care in this way, instead of calling it “culture wars”

Stands on rooftops: 📣 🗣️ 🗣️THERE IS NO LINK BTW ACETAMINOPHEN & AUTISM. IT HAS BEEN STUDIED FOR MANY YEARS IN MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. 🗣️THE ONLY REASON THEY ARE TALKING ABT THIS IS THAT THEY DO NOT WANT AUTISTIC PEOPLE TO EXIST. 🗣️IT IS EUGENICS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER. -EmilyPhD

An Arizona man is facing felony charges for threatening to shoot up a gay bar to avenge Charlie Kirk. He was convinced the shooter had "transgender ideology." Fortunately, he was stopped, but this is on the media for running with the erroneous WSJ reporting. www.azfamily.com/2025/09/19/p...

lot of people immediately able to grasp why this is bad still making excuses for posting on twitter

many of us who specifically covered those victims & worked to center those targeted & harmed by people like Kirk and his allies were pushed out of mainstream media in the past few years. it wasn't always a loud public firing, but the stories of how folks who did this work were treated would shock u.

the trans music archive has announced a residency for 2 trans bands/artists at their recording studio in NY, plus a $1000 stipend www.transmusicarchive.org/residency

A lot of talk about H-1B visas this week but the H-2A visa program is also notable: It's how many farmworkers enter the US, and it's also a path to exploitation.

The genocidal regime bombed newspaper offices in Samaa and killed over 35 ppl, 34 journalists and a child. Israel has killed more journalists in multiple countries than most countries at war combined. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

It would be fucking amazing if folks gave their cancelled Disney+, WaPo, etc money to worker owned media! Those couple of dollars would make a genuinely huge difference to us. www.coyotemedia.org

I long for the day when this podcast is no longer relevant. But if you're still trying to understand sex testing and gender in sports, I made this for you. There are transcripts on the site if you don't like listening to stuff.

You cannot "bargain" with fascists. I think that everyone should refuse to do this and also to stop supporting people who do this.

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

It helps to remember that on a very real level, one that is more literal than you would think possible, there’s a class of media ghoul that does not believe people living in these states are people

Cooking food using the stuff at the Airbnb

In hindsight, perhaps we should have done more to intervene when Zuck incited a genocide in Southeast Asia.

Also in NM: @505omatic.bsky.social (Santa Fe specifically) @theshout.shoutwichita.com.ap.brid.gy in Wichita, KS, is another cofounded indie media org covering arts & culture. See the rest of our list here: www.tinynewsco.org/members/ We're updating it as we speak, since we have many new members!

Bluesky Is the answer to the age old paradox of what would happen if you locked really good comedians in a room with people who have never experienced a joke

“The Bay Area is dead,” they say. “The art scene is boring; there’s nothing to do; blah blah blah.” Lies! Here at COYOTE we know that the region is bursting with interesting, surprising, and eye-opening events. Every Wednesday, we’ll share a curated list with you. ✍️: @reveleth.com

I laughed out loud several times reading this story, and then at the end got all teary. What a lovely piece @champwongs.bsky.social!!! www.nightmare-magazine.com/fiction/auto...

Absolutely fucking disgusting, useless, worthless opposition party. The Democratic party would be more useful if they literally stayed home and did nothing.

And @coyotemedia.org!

If you have an extra $10 a month to spare, here's a list of worker-owned cooperative news sites you might want to support: • 404 Media • Defector • The Flytrap • Flaming Hydra • The Appeal • Aftermath • Racket • Hell Gate • The 51st • The Colorado Sun • Range Media • Discourse Blog • Pop Heist

“I never experienced censorship or negative repercussions for my speech during my career in corporate media” is not so much a refutation of leftist arguments against media consolidation as it is a confession of squandered opportunity

It is also bad that one of our only supposedly center-left pundits did not muster the courage to say that no, jimmy kimmel is not more vulnerable than Mahmoud Khalil, or that perhaps Ben smith never experienced undue pressure from corporate media bosses bc he never challenged them

In Chicago: @blockclubchi.bsky.social, @southsideweekly.bsky.social, @chicagoreader.com, @thetriibe.com, @windycitytimes.com

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Given ~~gestures at everything~~ now is a great time to support your local (or not local) worker owned journalism outlet. Throw the money you just pulled from WaPo et al at a media coop! If you're in the Bay Area (or care about it) COYOTE Media just launched:

I’m sorry @vanityfair.com hiring Nuzzi is such a fucking gut punch to all the great underemployed journalists out there who don’t sext with their sources, which, to be fair, is pretty much everyone except Olivia Nuzzi

Every trans person i i ow who has spoken out about the trans athlete issue warned that this would happen to cis girls. We were showing compassion for female athletes even as everyone else was calling us the worst imaginable names and slurs possible and denying our genders.

This was from banning trans girls from girls sports. Just so you understand the reality of what's going on here.
