Due to an overwhelming amount of Nonsense going on in the US farm sector, I am in need of a half-time to full-time video editor

Anybody know someone who is 1) real good at it and 2) not heinously overemployed already?

That โ€œconventional wisdomโ€ was shaped by corporate propaganda and a proper dose of racism.

from a disability justice, grief-informed, death aware perspective, the response was not overkill. it was inadequate in many ways (e.g. mental health, ableism) but your economic perspective might have different priorities than me

Covid and Flu Can Triple Your Risk of Heart Attack

iโ€™m curious what is meant by overreaction. my concern is that there seems to be little collaboration bw behavioral psychologists and science communicators

bc itโ€™s still spreading in the air and weโ€™re still learning about its detrimental effects like heart attack www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/w...

So two things:

Do not put anything other than alt text in the alt text field. This is a bait and switch.

You can copy and paste text from your phone. Itโ€™s really easy. Here. I will do it right now.

As a disability advocate, I think itโ€™s appalling how many people are fine letting disabled folks starve because they think โ€œsurvival of the fittestโ€ means we should die.

But hereโ€™s the thingโ€ฆ no one should be starving.

The richest country in the world can afford to feed everyone.

Making the general population unhappy by driving them into poverty, hunger, sickness and homelessnessโ€ฆ is not a recipe for a peaceful society. It worries me greatly.

I told my friend this week to take a COVID test and much to their surprise they were covid positive with no symptoms and the problem is itโ€™s not harmless and folks still transmit to others. Now they are home resting.

'Washington Post' editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

Disability is a minority group you can join at any time

Many of us were โ€œyoung & otherwise healthyโ€ when we became ill

We were working & couldnโ€™t imagine being unable to earn a living

We didnโ€™t plan to become disabled. We didnโ€™t plan to stop working

It can happen to anyone

I remember grocery shopping with my dad when I was a kid (late 90s) and I remember the receipt being for something like $175. Two adults, four kids ranging 10-18.

$400 per month is a pitiful amount that can't afford nutritious food.

My theory is the evil people in charge know they're evil. That's why they're obviously miserable even though they spend a lot of effort trying to convince everyone (and themselves!) they're actually having a good time

none of these systems had to be this de-humanizing. we never had to build such misery-making machines. but competition was chosen over community bc too many people wanted to literally own other human beings.

I never thought
I'd be doing public health
And leading support groups
But in the absence of
Public health
And support groups
The disabled must stand up
