Repost from the Baltimore Compost Collective:
To close out International Compost Awareness Week - leaders who are using composting to reclaim land, restore ecosystems, and resist environmental racism…. composting can be an act of care, resistance, and liberation.

It was always about ethnic cleansing. Forget about the US, why is the rest of the world not responding?
Israel has cut off food, water, and medicine to Gaza for over two months — and the U.S. is helping cover it up.

I had my first job interview in over 20 years yesterday. 🤦🏾♀️
I could not get myself to think specifically and linearly no matter how hard I tried. And then I gave up and it got lighter.
Also did practically no prep so what did I expect. But will I try it again? Maybe.

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings.
It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

I’m dying how Elon had to illegally immigrate from South Africa & get himself installed illegally as a guy with major sway in (formerly) the most powerful nation in the world to start lobbying to bring apartheid back & steal land back for white settlers from Black Africans. Way to seize the moment.

A year and a half ago, I listened to a webinar that was talking about how culturally similar and appearing some Israelis are with Palestinians. The same bio region produced these two groups of people going back hundreds of years. How did it come to this? White supremacist capitalism.
