Republican shenanigans are starting early folks! Lot of unnecessary antics and dialogue to keep Democrats distracted. Let me be clear - it’s Nov. 4th and nothing else matters. Get to the polls no matter what.🌊

Some people waited in line up for 14 hours to receive a food box from a church giveaway.

500 people volunteered to help and they still ran out of food.

Remember for every one person a food bank feeds, SNAP feeds 9.

By turning off food assistance the regime is starving Americans.

"What should poor people be allowed to eat?" seems to be a burning question for those who aren't poor, have never been poor, and can afford to eat what they like, but want to keep poor people from eating anything that tastes really good. "No fresh meat," said Iowa, a few years ago.

Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name.

The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.

Olivaia’s OLA married co-founders, Giulio Zavolta and Rachelle Bross, bought a neglected grove of hundred-year-old olive trees in Lindsay, Calif., in 2012 and began producing their own olive oil five years later.

One of my favourites, that I saw for myself last year: Neuer Markt in central Vienna.

One of Vienna's main civic/market squares, choked by vehicles & turned into a grim 20th century car park. Transformed back into a space for people in the last few years.

Before (📷 2017) 🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
After (📷 2024) 🚶‍♂️🚲🌳🌲🌱

Google Street View image from 2017 looking onto Neuer Markt in central Vienna, one of the city's main historic civic squares. The square is filled with parked vehicles, with very little space for people to move or even sit. In the distance is a historic water fountain, inaccessible due to the parked vehicles. The square has since been transformed for the better (see next image).

A photo I took at the same location as the previous image on Neuer Markt in central Vienna in November 2024. Gone are the parked cars that once filled the street - replaced by a completely renovated civic square, with space for walking, sitting, plenty of bike parking, and an overwhelming amount of new planting and greenery.

Read in public. Read in private. Read e-books, genre books, comics, fanfiction. Read literature. Read nonfiction. Read books you’ve already read. Listen to audiobooks. Read what you want. There’s no such thing as “doing reading the wrong way.”

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times
