Farm workers weeding sweet potato fields

"Monica sent this from where she's working in the sweet potatoes in Merced county. "I'm cleaning the fields to be planted. The conditions are cold and wet. Weeds here can be knee high. I work long hours and must drive in dense fog. I do this work to feed my family." #WeFeedYou

It’s easy to think writing is mainly the transcription of ideas you already have—that is, until you try to write something worthwhile, and you find what you thought were saying transform into something far more interesting in the process. This skips that last step, and that is *not* an improvement.

Writing is thinking.

It's not some marginal boring task you can skip. It's the heart of it.

Season 1 Finale 🏀 Big thank you to the @brooklynnets ...

this is the video/account:

these two young white guys on IG go to an NYC restaurant each week to try food from a different country. they posted a video bringing together the owners of their first 12 stops & it made me cry bc it was simple & beautiful. just people from all over the world hanging & being pals. how it should be.

And I know for sure that this is not new and that MSP neighbors have dealt with this issue for many, many years.

So really, this is for my followers who live elsewhere.

How do I say this the right way . . . I live near an airport. Air traffic noises are a typical occurrence.

The increase in air traffic and continued presence of helicopters is so unsettling that my body cannot relax on my day off.

It’s so bad, even when it is indirect.

Whimsy is what makes the world a better place. He is wrong; you are right.

Finding the beauty in these poems helps, a lot. Thank you

I’m on season 2 of my first time watching it, and it is wild how much has changed in terms of policy (real life and fictional world) and how much has stayed the same.

It is definitely more after school special than a newer political series, such as The Diplomat

With the dad from St. Paul?

I’d choose being Black in every lifetime 😂😂😂 I love us.

Another year, another halftime show I can’t wait to study.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

The JOY has had me crying since the wedding reception

Now the line workers????

Adopt A Rent — Stand With Minnesota Donate your Delta Skymiles to get people home from Texas

Another addition to the website to help us built *systems* and not just have me trying to do everything alone:

If you'd like to adopt a rent that you can either *cover immediately* and fundraise for, or just pay outright, please fill out this form and we will contact you via Signal.

There’s something very freeing when you know you’re on your own. There’s really nothing stopping us from caring this deeply and boldly about our neighbors at all times, everywhere in the world, and if you’re not from Minnesota you should be doing what we are doing, and if you aren’t, start now.

I’ve heard imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. Let’s also recognize how bendy your back must be!

I bet they edit the falling over out of the broadcast.

Maybe this time, I will learn and understand curling.

Could I request that my name be engraved in the Lexend font for accessibility? 😬

the status quo is supported by people with resources believing that the only responsible way to help the “less fortunate” is to give to the appropriate organization that redistributes it to the worthy.

our system was built to fail the people in the moment we are in—to protect systems of oppression.

Still comforting

All of them.

Main problem is that the market is flooded with ppl cashing in - the refineries have placed limits on buying silver again so coin dealers are unable to offer full value. Refineries are also holding funds for now.

It may be tricky to sell silver. And also, double check the coins since some are $$$

As Commander Riker put it: “I can’t have my people fighting the Borg at the same time they're fighting their own fatigue”

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Fewer than we’d like after Cargill’s and Target’s layoffs last summer.

Not me continuing to conflate harbor seals and sea lions and trying to figure out how “sealioning” an online argument is at all connected to the apocalypse.

When I tell you that @mostlybree.kitrocha.com is keeping me sane because of her joy and her adhd cults and posts like this. I laughed so hard the dam inside me broke, and it needed to break. I needed to purge and the tears needed to fall. Bree, who barely knows me, is doing so much for me. Thanks
