NEW: @hospitalityhousesf.bsky.social has purchased 1009 Market St., the building housing its fine art studio. In a time of economic insecurity, a rise in anti-homelessness sentiment, and an affordability crisis, this acquisition is a rare win for low-income artists in San Francisco

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

Check out our new series of spotlights on Bay Area worker coops! In our first installment, @soleilho.com drops in on the 50-year-old Rainbow Grocery Cooperative in SF to find out what makes it work — and to hear some tasty lore (including a fistfight over what color to paint the store building! 👀)

Good Signs and Bad Signs in the Bay Area

The most infamous bad signs in the Bay are the billboards entering SF. But good and bad signs are everywhere — if you know where to look.

San Jose-based rapper, producer, and abstract painter THEALLSEEINGEYE veered away from the norms of regional rap. We spoke with the emerging artist about his process, upbringing, and being “an outsider.”

“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?

Really fun read about an eccentric bay area sculpture/pie maker whose towering dandelion piece has gone "missing" for 8 years. Highly recommend following/subscribing to COYOTE, they're a neat new publication and I want them to stick around.
