Researchers estimate that the life expectancy for people forced to work in cane fields was mid 20s.

They were slaughterhouses. Being sent to one was functionally a death sentence.
Mortality rates were so high on sugar plantations during slavery that slaveholders used to coerce enslaved people working other crops like cotton with threats to sell them or their loved ones to sugar plantations.

That’s where the term “sold down the river” came from.

Why is nobody asking if “severe” rain is over diagnosed when it is part of natural weather variation? Instead of flood warnings, people should be helped to find dignity through labour with a compassionate approach to getting those in a temporarily submerged lifestyle back into the workforce.

The same exact people I've met allergic to learning multiple languages also thinks Jezus parted the Red Sea and wants to [redacted] immigrants in the head.
Anyway: Learning languages is fun and it pisses off fascists. Win all around.

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

Full disclosure: i've never heard of BB before last year because Pasty Rural. 🙄

But the show was very educational, and as a VERY broad taste musically trained person I like reggaeton and *anything* that's a bop. Great learning about Kendrick last year and BB this year.
loved every second of Bad Bunny. That message of inclusion and a celebration of cultures like Puerto Rico’s is just what America needs right now. Plus, his music just gets you in motion. 10/10

Do you know how many of our families cut sugar cane? For Americans to put in their cakes and tea while our cousins were forced to cultivate cotton and tobacco in their fields?

That is the story of so many of our families

And while everyone is feeling good about Benito giving a Grammy to someone who is not Liam Ramos: Congress can pass a personal bill to grant citizenship to Liam Ramos, his family and Kilmer Abrego Garcia.

Happy Black History Month!

It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale.

These convertible bags are spacious, cute and can be worn in so many ways including being attached to mobility devices! They're almost sold out!

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children
“We cannot just abolish ICE!”

Bestie, you are older than ICE.

Blacksky is 100% the spirit of atproto and it’s been incredible to watch them achieve so much. The world is better because of self sustaining communities like them. Also I personally donated, the company donated
