@emibirdee.art i hope you dont mind the tag!

After 13 years in the US, I’ve made the difficult decision to leave. Having packed up everything and rethought about priorities, rather painstakingly, while I’m sad to leave the life I’ve made here, I’m also relieved that I won’t have to plan my life around immigration policies anymore.

I felt like Wild Faith referenced without explanation a lot of people and events I wasn't familiar with, and some of them I had trouble finding with an initial (quick) search so I found it harder to get through 😔 possibly also because I was reading it on Libby? going to try getting a physical copy!

I read Money, Lies, and God recently and added The Power Worshippers to my tbr! Stewart's writing was really clear and easy to follow which I appreciated a lot

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

A multi-ethnic collective of garment workers.

"Social unionism" meant the union did more than fight for better wages. It provided affordable housing, health benefits, and unemployment insurance. Since many garment workers were newly arrived immigrants, the union would also teach people English.

A tattered red bandana from that period.

The coal miners lost that 1921 battle, but they also laid the groundwork for future labor gains. The Battle of Blair Mountain became a rallying point for labor rights in Appalachia, catalyzing the United Mine Workers of America. The red bandana also stood for multi-ethnic class solidarity.

also burned my tongue though so you win some you lose some i guess

my soup was really tasty before i added the tuna tho so that was a win

after watching like six million korean food vlogs i decided to finally try out the combination i have been the most curious and also apprehensive about and i am sorry to say that i have learned that i do not like kimchi and tuna together

LOL i see! i'll send yall an email later this week then :)

Computer-vision research powers surveillance technology - Nature An analysis of research papers and citing patents indicates the extensive ties between computer-vision research and surveillance.
