People said they wanted more culture pieces on Bsky, right? For COYOTE, I interviewed the @oaklandreviewofbooks.org and @meganwachspress.bsky.social for a behind-the-scenes account of how Megan's 7,000-word feature (!) on coal in Oakland came to be—a phenomenal work of longform journalism.

@coyotemedia.org! proof: I (co-founder) say so and also it’s on our site www.coyotemedia.org/pitch-us/

good morning! I’m interrupting your doomscrolling session with a joyful account of, of all things, a water tasting and appreciation class in San Francisco www.coyotemedia.org/san-francisc...

And you know, you can extend from this to a real important corallary to "Everyone is 12 Now" theory is "There has been a generation-long project to keep people 12."

Conservative news and opinon outlets, regressive mass audience entertainment products, etc. all propagandize a chilidish worldview.

Slide from a presentation with green and white accents. "We use food to communicate... rules and morality" Screenshot of bearded Chris Evans from "Snowpiercer" looking down in despair and admitting, "I know babies taste best."

honestly I think this slide is worth the price of admission to my food writing classes

once again reminding everyone to funnel your emotions into organizing and building solidarity in your community and not pointless doomscrolling
