Immediately subscribed, I’m so thrilled about COYOTE. We need alt-weeklies!
coyotemedia.org COYOTE @coyotemedia.org · Sep 15
As the class clowns of local media, alternative newsweeklies were smarter than they looked: They fearlessly called out corruption, launched artists’ and writers’ careers, and made journalism fun. Can COYOTE bring that energy back?

Do you live in the Bay? So you want ... 🕷️🌱? I have ... a lot. Please take one.
Photo of several spider plants that says "do you want a spider plant" followed by a incomprehensible rant in small illegible text. The rant says "no seriously I have more than twenty spider plants not pictured here and more spiderettes growing and I feel bad killing them because they are trying so hard so plz take them before I have to commit plant murder or try to give them away on Craigslist or whatever"
