“You can smell the grasshoppers eating your vegetables. No one feels good about that,” Laura Snell @ucanr.bsky.social told ⁦Emma Glassman-Hughes @eg-h.bsky.social of Offrange

Grasshoppers Wreaking Havoc - Offrange California producers are reporting up to 70% crop loss from grasshoppers. Where is the federal management agency that’s designed to assist with this very problem?

Some northern California producers are reporting up to 70% crop loss from grasshoppers. Where is the federal management agency that’s designed to assist with this very problem? My latest for Offrange:

Thank you!! Emotional week 🥴

On Cape Cod, the Wampanoag Assert Their Legal Right to Harvest the Waters Not everyone respects that right. But the Wampanoag are determined to continue, saying their work is an essential expression of 12,000 years of heritage, sovereignty, and lifeways.

The first part of that 2-part story, which also won 2nd place in the food feature category from @wearesfj.bsky.social, is here

While I was busy negotiating a fair contract for @voxmediaunion.bsky.social last week, I was honored to learn my @civileats.com story about fishing rights won two Indigenous Media awards, including in the best feature category! Thanks to the Indigenous Journalists Association for this recognition 🥲

Extremely proud to have been along for the ride as a member of this bargaining committee. This past week has been the highlight of my short tenure at Vox Media, and an invaluable education in what it looks like to show up for your people and your industry when it matters most. Union strong 🌺

WE HAVE A TENTATIVE CONTRACT PROUD TO BE @voxmediaunion.bsky.social

📣📣📣📣📣 STRIKE AUTHORIZED, LET'S GOOOO 📣📣📣📣📣📣

Thanks for wanting to help! Should we go on strike, the most important thing is not to cross the picket line: don't click on, read, listen to, or watch any Vox Media products for the duration of the strike.

Should we go on strike, we'll have more specific ways to help out, so stay tuned! Thank you!

Members of the Vox Media Union bargaining committee gathered around a conference table.

25.5 hours left and still waiting on a fair contract

betting this auspicious Solidarity Moon will help 😌

we’re ready to strike if we don’t get a good contract

This is an incredible crew of folks fighting to enshrine crucial protections in their union contract. That contract will be looked to by many other unions and companies as they navigate this world that is so deeply hostile to the journalism and the truth. Give them your support!

Hand made picket sign reads "Hey Vox, feel good about our strike? -PS"

2 days left in the Vox Media Union contract so we had a pizza and sign making party about it

thank you for the solidarity @kevincortez.huffpost.com 🤝 lets get this fair contract!

Proud to be at the bargaining table representing my colleagues at @popsugar.com ❤️‍🔥

My fellow @voxmediaunion.bsky.social comrades are raising money to benefit those impacted by layoffs at Polygon. Please share and throw some cash their way if you can.

@nymagunion.bsky.social also had members impacted by layoffs at Vox today. We stand with @voxmediaunion.bsky.social and all our comrades at Polygon.

As the cost of living skyrockets, management at @vox.com has outright denied every single economic proposal from the @voxmediaunion.bsky.social.

What happened with Polygon today is so fucked. Vox Media has made some atrocious decisions in my six years here but this is really something else. And to do this in the middle of us bargaining a new union contract, where they scold us for asking for better protections, is just unconscionable.

Spent this morning trying to bargain for equal wages for equal work and benefits, which the company is refusing to move on. Honored to do this work even when management is being rude af.

Vox Media management’s refusal to bargain fairly - including a blanket rejection of our economic proposals - is taking a direct toll on our @voxmediaunion.bsky.social members. 1/2

Hi! Quick note: The Onion accidentally posted a stock photo from a vendor with an AI generated image in it. We pulled the post down once we found that out. Our commitment to not using AI is very real. It's in the union contract to disclose it if we ever do. World is a slop minefield and we're sorry.

We’re looking forward to welcoming PS to the Vox Media Union! ✊

As we begin negotiations today, we hope @vox.com respects their workers’ very reasonable demand to work under the same union contract as their other Vox colleagues.

Text reading "We Demand One Union, One Contract" above the combined Vox Media Union logo and below that the hashtag #oneuniononecontract

Text reading: #oneuniononecontract Despite having identical patterns of demands, the same negotiating committee, and working under the same company, Vox Media is wasting time, resources, and energy by forcing wirkers at the Dodo to bargain separately from their Vox Media Union colleagues.

Text reading: Bargaining sessions shouldn't feel like Groundhog Day. One Union, One Contract just makes sense. Join us in demanding #oneuniononecontract for the Vox Media Union.

Congrats to the Vox Union and the Dodo as we begin bargaining this week ✊ We continue to demand #oneuniononecontract and bargain in solidarity, despite Vox Media's efforts to keep us separated.
