If you're struggling to afford produce, check out:

- farmers markets, which have a weird reputation for being bougie despite almost always being cheaper than grocery chains
- Asian and Desi grocery stores
- flea markets, which usually have locals selling produce

It’s almost like actually humanizing trans people—letting us be in the room—creates real change and deescalates the culture war instead of treating as pawns to elicits support over, problems for being “too controversial”, or villains for being vocal about our issues to people who aren’t listening.

Trans people have been scapegoated so effectively (among older people) that we're flooded with models of how to hate.

But when people hear the love behind why we stand up for each other, we win.

Bravo, @zoandbehold.bsky.social!

Did you know?

There’s a directory of Black farmers: “The Black Farmers Index.”

Buy and uplift local. Many are small-scale specialists and located in urban areas. I found an organic resource in my area that I will definitely check out.

It’s collective vs individual. White people INSIST on individuality (1 of the 15 tenets of White Supremacy Culture) in all things: assessment, responsibility etc—all while treating everyone who isn’t white as part of collectives, forcing us to act/think collectively to survive white people’s racism.

With the Grammys (Chappel’s pink pony!!), Kendrick and SZA and now this damn good SNL reunion, entertainment has never hit so good for me. This isn’t who I am sobbing at the tv

Native people smuggled our ceremonies thru time, hid them under our hearts and carried them thru “Christian” indoctrination, beatings, violence, spiritual warfare and assault on all levels, for hundreds of years. We hid our languages under our tongues, and ancestors carried those treasures across

This issue is underrepresented in the outrage around trump’s admin moves.

Spread Information not panic When reporting or signal boosting potential threats: provide as much information as possible! S.A.L.U.T.E. Size/Strength "5 to 6 Armed Agitators" Actions/Activity "Harassing random people on the move" Location & Direction "Manhattan, East of Central Park, E 97th St" Uniform/Clothes "Dark Jackets, ballcaps" Time & Date of Observation "8:32 PM June01" Equipment & Weapons "They have Body Armor and Pepper spray" Not a useful tweet: "proudboys spotted" "Where? When? What are they doing? How Many? What are they carrying?" Use your Judgement!

The threat of ICE has tons of people on high alert, the result is claims of ICE seen without firm or specific info people can actually use — & sometimes, no ICE at all.

It’s never “ICE spotted in Queens,” but “4 SUVs labeled DHS seen parked on 57th & 59th in Maspeth at 2:34pm.”

Be specific!

Yay 🥰 thank you for transbassador
