I support these bills and trans people.

Thank you so much for your support! 💙🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Is everyone going to still be all "support the troops" and thank them for their service when even more of them get deployed to neighborhoods near you, and thus far not one has refused the illegal orders?

What a horrific tragedy. This is what happens when people decide it’s acceptable for drug users to die, and when we allow law enforcement to pretend to be experts on drugs and how drugs work. It’s very likely that this man would be alive today if he had received medical care instead of imprisonment.

Tractors like this are used to spray pesticides in Apple orchards in upstate NY. "John" shares that having to pick in just-sprayed fields — or even near current spraying— is one of the issues that have caused workers to unionize. #WeFeedYou

"Ari" is working in the poblano chilis in Santa Clara County. He explains how workers harvest the chilis, then take their full buckets over to a conveyor belt & dump them on it. The conveyor belt goes up lifting the chilis & "Ari" then directs them into different bins. #WeFeedYou

Another beautiful and quiet day in Dupont Circle and these pawns think it’s Fallujah. You’d think they could at least rake up some leaves — you know…to prevent forest fires.

Use only water or fresh air on tear gas or pepper spray.

No milk, vinegar, antacids, urine, etc. and especially not in eye.

Thank me later,

Two workers are hard at work loading full boxes of grapes to be taken to cold storage in Mettler, CA. It was already 90° at 1 pm which made this physically demanding job even harder. To load the truck they had to be in the direct sunlight lifting heavy 20+ lb boxes. #WeFeedYou

Let nothing be called natural in an age of bloody confusion, ordered disorder, planned caprice, and dehumanised humanity, lest all things be held unalterable!

I folowed the standard cornbread recipe in the Joy of Cooking. On the next page there's a variation where you sub in half a cup of buckwheat flour. Then I added a drained can of corn & baked it in a castiron skillet. Simple!

Remembering an old joke is not intelligence. Well. I guess it could be "intelligence" in some meanings if the word if the old joke could be weapinized or something.

When all else fails, corbstarch oobleck &/or some kind of waterplay they haven't done super recently- works on 8 year olds too (though instead of me making oobleck, they get to make "potions" which is as bad as it sounds)

Last night we had double cornbread with buckwheat, which was another quiet triumph for the grain who is not a grain.
