The pumpkin patch is like.. ASMR for my eyes. The colors and textures are euphoric.

A stack of pumpkins on a hay bale. They are large, squat, and shades of pale orange and gray.

Today is Larry Itliong Day in CA, honoring the Filipino American labor leader whose union members began the Delano Grape Strike on 9/8/65. They asked Cesar Chavez’s National Farm Workers Association to join their picket lines. The rest is history.

LA is building a new $1.5 billion freeway into LAX.

The very same airport where we just spent $2 billion on the people mover — actually, more like $3 billion, plus another $900 million if you count Metro's investment in the LAX station; so let's just say $4 billion — to make cars go away

Air traffic control

The LAX-pressway must be stopped

We report on the morning after the storm: we were woken up with hail showers in the night, and the south wind rattled the tiles on the roof in a way we had not heard before. It is still windy, but it is the kind of wind that chases clouds away instead of stirring up a tempest.

Digital painting of a sunrise sky, blue-grey clouds opening up to thin gashes that let out the light. In the bottom half, the light comes out a bright yellow, tinting the clouds around it orange.

Hello #booksky! 👋

I’m looking for a book recommendation: A book about BIG things. Megafauna, huge mountains, deep oceans, distance between universes in space—if it makes your mind reel about the massiveness of the concepts/things discussed, I’d love to learn about it.

The East Wing, which got razed for President Trump’s new ballroom today, has some really interesting history.

The East Wing is home to the Office of the First Lady and has played a key role in women’s visibility in the White House.

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

4 grounding questions [if useful at this moment]:

1. What resources exist so I can better educate myself [about x issue]?
2. Who's already doing work around this injustice?
3. Do I have the capacity to offer concrete support & help to them?
4. How can I be constructive?

Food shortages in poor communities leads to ppl engaging in survival tactics. The State frames this as senseless crime. They criminalize poor, hungry folks for trying to live. They send in troops and put folks in prisons, lining the pockets of private prison owners.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

Yes to all of this - never mind the stress of what to do if a teacher forgets to upload or accidentally locks the homework assignment, or the WIFI at home is down, if you get a zero because you forgot to hit submit or the submit didn’t go through.

It’s a mess.
