After years of fundraising, @hospitalityhousesf.bsky.social has purchased the 3-story, mid-Market building housing its fine art studio. For artists like SupremeRivi11, the space provides community — but also art supplies and a gallery, things in short supply for low-income San Franciscans.

We're spotlighting Bay Area worker co-ops, starting with Rainbow Grocery Cooperative in SF, "a place where Karens drift through the aisles like hungry ghosts, aimless without a manager at whom to direct their ire. At Rainbow, the buck stops with the 200 or so worker-owners." ✍️: @soleilho.com

“It’s just nice [to be reminded] that people still genuinely give a shit about culture." says Joanna Lioce, who's booking shows at the soon-to-be-reopened punk venue Mabuhay. “Have some fucking joy.”

The Mabuhay, “the cauldron where punk rock began in SF,” shuttered decades ago. On Friday, Oct 3 it reopens with a show headlined by Kelley Stoltz. What happens when you try to build something new on sacred musical ground?

Investors are reopening the historic punk venue Mabuhay on Friday. But its legacy looms so large the plan hasn’t thrilled everyone — particularly when people hear the words “coworking space” and “Tech Week.” Is there a way to honor the building’s history and sustain it at the same time?
