Your Thanksgiving gravy tastes better when you use union mushrooms. Let's give a huge thanks to workers like "Adan" who harvest mushrooms for Monterey Mushrooms under a UFW contract. On an average day, he picks 240-280 of the blue baskets you see in this vid. #WeFeedYou

We'll see more & more of this. 15cm hail fell in parts of Brisbane today & destroyed all my solar panels. Not the first destructive storm here this month & it's not even storm season yet. Meanwhile the Albanese govt is busy pushing climate destroying environmental legislation through

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.

Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...
Carrie Fisher was the blueprint.
Protect your people. Call out the predators.

As a kid, I accidentally screwed over authors. Story time. I lived for books growing up and money was right. I was babysitting at 11. I had my first job at 15.

We regularly went to a place called Uncle John's Flea Market. There was a booth that sold used books 10 for $1. I loved that stall!

I had no idea until someone told me. That I was stealing from the writers. They hadn't been paid for those books I read.

I still feel bad about it to this day.

If you do something after someone tells you that it hurts them, yeah, @mattfnwallace.bsky.social is right. You're a shitty human.

The books had no covers. I didn't really care. Until I found out why.

See, they had been reported unsold and destroyed to the publisher. The vendors would go to B Dalton and Waldenbooks on clearing day. Collect trash bags full of books to sell.

When I was a young adult, there were no widely-known role models for LGBTQIA+ people. No adults in my high school even said "gay" out loud. To be called gay was meant as an insult. We had no maps for who we could be. No pictures. No stories. It's almost impossible now to describe what that was like

Why is so much good faith given to a man whose policies will lead to death and injury? It’s not like there’s a debate either respect to vaccines. That would justify good faith.
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

I for one am so fucking tired of the messaging coming out of DC and the current crop of feckless Congress ppl. As we start to ramp up to electing our next president I’m going to put out the messaging that I want to see. I’m gonna pin this post and add to it weekly.

If I was president: Day 1, I would roll in and sign an Executive Order, reversing every EO that trump issued. Kings rule by decree and I would be no fucking king! I would give Congress back the power they let slide like a bunch of bitches they are right now.
