Did not know this about Old Bay
![The origins of the company can be traced back to Wertheim, Germany, where Brunn started a wholesale spice and seasoning business selling to food industries, seeing an opportunity as spices were in especially short supply amidst hyperinflation in the aftermath of World War I. 9] Due to rising antisemitism as the Nazi Party rose to power, the company moved to Frankfurt, Germany; 1°1 however, on the night of November 9, 1938, a massive pogrom against Jews, known as Kristallnacht, led to Brunn being arrested by Nazi soldiers and sent to Buchenwald concentration camp. "
According to Brunn's son, Gustav's wife paid a large sum of money to a lawyer for him to be released; as they had already applied for and received American visas, they were able to escape with their two children to New York City and later Baltimore, Maryland, where Brunn had family.!'! There, having brought with him only a small spice grinder, 8! Brunn founded the Baltimore Spice Company and produced the
"Delicious Brand Shrimp and Crab Seasoning", which was later renamed Old Bay. 12[13]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ieluoyrr7apgy6rw3uo5zk3v/bafkreify3g7uamukdur4vdensoicfpobn24kjhshztjblwk7ph6ytyvora@jpeg)

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is May. May was pregnant and studying information technology at university before the war. She’s lost her home and tragically both her husband and unborn child were killed. She’s now living with her family and they are being displaced.

I asked my doctor to test my immunity to MMR recently, and turns out my Rubella antibodies were too low. I got an easy booster, and we’re good to go!

DC friends! I wish I could make it, so you have to go for me <3
Here’s a show you should see this weekend in DC — not because its run was cut short by federal arts funding cuts, which it was, but just because. VOCA and Deaf Austin Theatre’s production of A Strange Loop closes on Sunday: www.atlasarts.org/events/voca-... (Disclaimer: my wife works for the venue.)

Also, please understand that AI surveillance is not "biased." Its purpose is racial capitalism. AI surveillance is a "racial project."
AI is a race-making technology. It encodes racial logics to arrange social hierarchies. Race has always been both a social AND sociotechnical construction.

All famines are man-made, all famines are political. Historians of empire and humanitarianism have known this forever. Gaza is not starving, Gaza is being starved, by Israel, and this starvation is enabled by our government and by every other government that does not step in to force food and aid.

So there is a review this week in @thenation.com of a book that is 1/3 about my mother and grandmother and their organizing work, and this is now the nth review that states the misinformation that the Wages for Housework Campaign ended in the 1980s.

What RFK Jr. Doesn’t Understand About Disability
The HHS secretary’s ignorance of the political history of disability shows he is the last person who should have a role in shaping its future.

Shout out to Judge Patricia Millett and the DC court of appeals for also identifying this as a troubling juxtaposition. The Right hate being called Nazis but the US has treated (actual/proven/documented) Holocaust-committing Nazis more humanely than LatAm migrants.

My brilliant friend @ivanplis.bsky.social co-authored a talk about the humanity of editing in the age of AI. So much to love here for editors of all kinds. Thank you Carolina for recapping!
Our performed invisibility and self-effacement at a time when people increasingly associate editing with machines makes it easier to ignore the value of human editing labor.
