Now 50+! And I'm adding more as folks send them.

Happy to get submissions and also please ... check if the thing you're sending is already on the map. A full half of the emails I woke up to are people sending me ones I already included. The map is free, no paywall, just look! 😭
Does shopping online make you feel gross? Does the prospect of heading to big box stores for gifts make you want to throw up? We have a solution! Check out these 40 (!) Holiday Art Markets in the Bay Area, where you can get jewelry, soaps, ceramics, paintings, and tattoos.

COYOTE Media Collective is launching ‘Sprint to 2026’ — our ambitious/maybe a little delusional quest to hit 2,026 paid subscribers by Dec 31! 🐺👟💨

We’ve published more than 70 pieces in 2.5 months with a tiny, feral team. To keep doing that, we need ~600 more members.

If you’re going to eat dry turkey with your relatives and acquaintances, you might as well regale them with trivia about the Epstein files. How many times is Harvard mentioned? How much did it cost taxpayers to get the emails redacted? How much DOES Larry Summers hate women?
