It was an honor to put this piece together, and reflect on Bea Dong’s incredibly powerful legacy with the community.

Beatrice Dong, co-founder of Berkeley’s Eastwind Books and a longtime Asian American activist, passed away last month. We asked community members to reflect on her life, legacy and the movements she helped build — and what her work meant to them. www.coyotemedia.org/beatrice-don...

What Beatrice Dong Taught Us About Being Asian American
Bay Area community members remember “fierce and generous” Beatrice Dong, the co-founder of Berkeley’s Eastwind Books and lifelong activist for racial solidarity.

The latest fiction from @annaleen.bsky.social is a subversive adventure tale told from the perspective of a single-cell alien creature. Read an excerpt here, then go see them (Annalee, not the slime mold) read in SF Oct. 6. www.coyotemedia.org/excerpt-anna...

Excerpt: ‘A Wall Is Also a Road’
The new novel from San Francisco sci-fi writer Annalee Newitz is a thought-provoking meditation on human nature, told from the perspective of an adventurous alien amoeba.

Today, we're launching our first women's sports story co-published with @valkyriesbeat.bsky.social: on how the inclusive culture touted by the Golden State Valkyries is faring amid the culture wars embroiling the rest of the WNBA. www.coyotemedia.org/valkyries-tr...

Amid Anti-Trans Uproar in the WNBA, the Valkyries Are Standing Their Ground. Is That Enough?
For Valkyries fans, the inclusiveness of Ballhalla is sacred — even moreso as the culture war comes for the WNBA.

“You cannot engage with Newsom in good faith, because what faith can you have in a shell of a person who so baldly pursues wealth, power, the next shiniest thing?” Nice work. His first Chronicle quote in 1991 was bragging about giving wine discounts to his wealthy benefactors. Has anything changed?

Unfortunately, this is a pattern Californians know well. Newsom loves to say the righteous thing when it costs nothing. But when it comes time to actually do something to help marginalized people, he conveniently discovers an out that lets him save face for his future presidential run. He's a political juker - an advocate for nothing but his own ambitions as the Democrats' best boy.
