🗣️MELT YOUR LIFE INTO PIECES: Today at COYOTE we're talking death, aquamation, and what it means to dissolve into nothingness. ✍️: @nuala.bsky.social 📸: @amir.photo www.coyotemedia.org/east-bay-wat...
COYOTE@coyotemedia.org · 7mo agoToday on COYOTE: Aquamation! If you've ever wondered what it was like to dissolve yourself (or your loved ones) into liquid, this is the story for you. Our reporter @nuala.bsky.social dives into the history and explains the “very gentle" process of it all. www.coyotemedia.org/east-bay-wat...
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...
“Spray Area”: The Evolution of Airbrushing in the Bay
Airbrushing once offered local artists a full-time income; nowadays, it’s mostly a creative side hustle that recalls a nostalgic past. Here’s what the remaining artists have to say about it.

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.

Hospitality House has purchased a mid-Market building that contains the nonprofit’s fine art studio — securing its future forever.

COYOTE@coyotemedia.org · 11mo agoCheck out our new series of spotlights on Bay Area worker coops! In our first installment, @soleilho.com drops in on the 50-year-old Rainbow Grocery Cooperative in SF to find out what makes it work — and to hear some tasty lore (including a fistfight over what color to paint the store building! 👀)
All our stories are FREE right now, but that won't always be the case (we gotta make money) so read them now! There are so many good ones to choose from y'all. Like this @janelleblarg.bsky.social comic that I love SO much: www.coyotemedia.org/the-punks-vs...
