How Libraries Are Creating Community Through Food
Libraries nationwide are offering community classes on nutrition, food security, and how to get a good meal on the table.
Amidst all the bad news, this is great: Libraries across the country host cookbook clubs, offer classes in demo kitchens, loan spices + kitchen equipment, include food pantries, host farmer's markets, offer English language learning through cooking, host nutrition literacy programs, etc.

The Political Awakening of the Oyster Farmer Gunning for Susan Collins
Graham Platnerβs campaign launch has been a sudden sensation. But what heβs building now is rooted in the work of a lifetime.
This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthenβs monologue from Andor.

one of my favorite things about this age of Star Wars storytelling is finding out that the Rebellion's victory wasn't just because of one hero in an X-wing but because of all the people along the way who made the choice to do the right thing

The problem is far bigger than Jeffrey Epstein | Rebecca Solnit
Treating the scandal as an aberration misunderstands the global epidemic of violence against women
"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

Lined yellow legal pad with handwriting on it:
The Empire is like America ten years from now; after: Nixonian gangsters assassinated the emperor and were elected to power in a rigged election; created civil disorder by instigating race riots. Aiding rebel groups. And allowing the crime rate to rise to the point where a βtotal controlβ police state was welcomed by the people. then the people were exploited with high taxes, utility and transport costs, gangsters, a cartel made up of power companies, transport companies + crime organizations. Other companies had to pay bribes to stay in business.
they increase the crime rate by slowing down the system of justice and punishment.

They donβt want you to see photos of the men they kidnapped and trafficked like this, because it counters their racist narrative and makes the CECOT propaganda all the more horrible in juxtaposition. Which is of course why we should see these images
