"Why are we treated like cars by the law, but like obnoxious and unwelcome obstructions by people in cars?"

Flyer for the very first Critical Mass ride, which took place on September 25, 1992 in San Francisco. Critical Mass rides have since been held in more than 300 cities around the world.

DIY vs. AI: The battle for the soul of the show flyer An Oakland venue owner is fed up with AI-generated show flyers. What's the big deal?

“It’s just fucking super Google that destroys the environment.” Today on COYOTE @soleilho.com checks in with an Oakland venue owner who’s fed up with AI-generated show flyers, to talk about what we lose when we normalize the practice (It’s not just braincells!)

Ingredients for Revolution, Queers at the Table, and the Queer Food Conference are all mentioned!
