Hey, who wants something nice?

So I was on tour this month, and when I was doing my event for the Princeton University Library and the Princeton Public Library, I ended up at the graveyard, where I found this gravestone:
A rectangular gray gravestone, inscribed with Whitin Badger, 1906-1992, Dwight Cooke 1908-1992, and underneath the line "THE UNICORN WAITS IN A DARKENING WOOD"

Spring is a happy season but it has neither citrus nor stone fruit. Summer is a sad season but it has stone fruit. Fall is a happy season but it has neither citrus nor stone fruit. Winter is a sad season but it has citrus.

This is true right now but it won’t be forever!!! It used to be the case that Order the Cabbage, now every single restaurant has charred cabbage with a tepid tahini sauce; before that it was Order the Brussels Sprouts and we all know how that ended up. Seize the beans while you can.

Solid look at the challenges facing young farmers in SC!
www.thestate.com/news/local/a...
SC farmland shrinking, number of young farmers dwindling. What is the industry’s future?
The biggest barrier for young SC farmers entering the industry is financial. Purchasing land and obtaining equipment is often more than they can afford.

Great story on how SC farmers frost-protect blueberry plants, encasing them in ice to save them

A whole great take.

The way they are trying to reorganize Eater right now is, I cannot emphasize this enough, so fucking stupid. We are working to mitigate this impact as much as possible for our unit. And good job Vox Media, you just made us all even more pissed as we head into bargaining our third contract
voxmediaunion.bsky.social Vox Media Union @voxmediaunion.bsky.social · Dec 5
Hello Bluesky. Sucks that this is our first post. A statement from the Vox Media Union and @wgaeast.bsky.social on today's layoffs. Please stay tuned for more details on how you can support our colleagues who were impacted today.
Today, we were blindsided by news from Vox Media management that many of our colleagues at Thrillist and Eater would lose their jobs. We are devastated to lose writers and editors who produce invaluable work each and every day, and disgusted by Vox Media’s short-sighted decision making. As always, it is the workers who bear the brunt of management’s poor choices, and this close to the holidays, their callousness is especially galling. We are incredibly disappointed by management’s decision to decimate Thrillist, a vertical that it has invested almost nothing in since acquiring it from Group Nine. As we have made clear to management with our demand for One Union, One Contract, the WGAE-Vox Media Union views our colleagues at Thrillist as members of our union, and we will make sure that they are made whole in light of management’s decision to essentially shutter this beloved publication. Many of those impacted by today’s layoffs work on Eater’s Cities team, a group of powerhouse journalists who produce some of the most impactful local journalism in the country. Their work has always differentiated Eater and built it into the country’s most prominent food website, and management’s treatment of these workers is both irresponsible and reflects a complete lack of understanding of the journalism that is needed in this moment. We need more boots on the ground doing this essential work, not fewer. As always, the Guild will continue to demand that members are treated fairly in the aftermath of layoffs. As we approach the upcoming negotiations for our third collective bargaining agreement, we want to make abundantly clear to management that the status quo of constant, cyclical layoffs will not continue. We will fight like hell to ensure that our industry has a future, no matter how many times those in charge attempt to run it into the ground. Details on how you can support laid off workers at Vox Media will be forthcoming. Solidarity forever.

“Eater is reorganizing its cities coverage into a regional model in order to most efficiently serve its audience’s needs.” Seeing as Eater Carolinas already WAS a regional model, I’m guessing this leaves us truly, newly boned.
