@soleilho.comReposted by @coyotemedia.orgnew from me: on how institutions enable rape culture. and the outrageousness of an elected official dismissing sex assault allegations against a political ally because the people involved are gay men www.coyotemedia.org/after-manny-...
@sesmith.lolReposted by @coyotemedia.orgI REALLY like this @anildash.com piece on 'unalive' and algospeak in general, particularly the exploration of the implications for a generation of people growing up steeped in it.
@coyotemedia.org“[We] are sickened by, furious with, and ashamed of those that seek or claim to represent the gay community while denying, dismissing, or defending sexual abuse and assault,” wrote a group of LGBT elected officials in a letter. Read the full op-ed by @soleilho.com www.coyotemedia.org/after-manny-...
@coyotemedia.orgAfter a rising political star was accused of sexual assault in June, allies dismissed it, w/ one brushing it off, saying there's a "different threshold" for assault among gay men. Two more accusers emerged last week. And now, his allies have much to answer for. www.coyotemedia.org/after-manny-...
@emmaruthless.bsky.socialReposted by @coyotemedia.orgLast month, an email from SFUSD informed me that my 7yo would be taking a state-mandated test from a company called Amira, and it led me down a rabbit hole.
Here's how big tech is infiltrating SF public schools — whether families & teachers want it or not. www.coyotemedia.org/sfusd-ai-ami...
@aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.socialReposted by @coyotemedia.orgFun fact: New York City is rolling out pilots to product test AI on high school students, and NO STUDENT WE TALK TO knows anything about it - it's almost like the model also depends on students not finding out. If this is so great, why the cloak of secrecy??
@coyotemedia.org“The old digital divide used to be wanting to make sure everyone had access to tech. But the new digital divide is, who are the families who have the privilege to protect their children *from* tech? … this very much is an equity issue.” www.coyotemedia.org/sfusd-ai-ami...
@soleilho.comReposted by @coyotemedia.orgtoday on @coyotemedia.org: @emmaruthless.bsky.social discovers her 6-y.o. may have been opted into AI testing — and dives into the $200+ billion edtech world, SFUSD's marriage to "benevolent" tech grants, & parents' attempts to get any kind of regulation in place. www.coyotemedia.org/sfusd-ai-ami...
@coyotemedia.org“The whole model depends on parents not finding out," says ifeoma.bsky.social. "Because as soon as parents are aware, they don’t want anything to do with it.” www.coyotemedia.org/sfusd-ai-ami...

@cecilialei.bsky.socialReposted by @coyotemedia.orgWhen KALW executive director James Kass first approached me about potential office space for COYOTE, I was like pffft…yeah right, we WISH. And now, it’s a reality! ✨ So proud of our small and mighty newsroom. We’re dreaming big over here.
@egd801.bsky.socialReposted by @coyotemedia.org@coyotemedia.org is getting an SF office?! 🙀🎉👏🏻Very excited for them and the progress they've made just in their first year.
@coyotemedia.orgWe’re SO thrilled to share that our COYOTE den has an address! We're moving into Warfield Commons, a new space for independent media makers in Mid-Market SF.
