France plans to spend $150 million to rip out grape vines due to wine industry woes from increasing heat, drought, etc

Yet planting rows of trees around vines can drought- & heat-proof them while keeping production up w/o irrigation

"There generally isn’t a lot of widespread coverage of Black oyster economies and farmers.”

That's why we had @iamtabari.bsky.social dig into the rich legacy of Black oystermen and women in the U.S., who helped build it into a multibillion-dollar industry today.

The Legacy of Black Oyster Farmers - Offrange
Steeped in a rich history, Black oystermen and women across U.S. coastal regions have been disappearing for decades — a revival may be underway.

“If you believe there are infinite stories to tell about restaurants — as immigration raids threaten the industry, as rising prices put the pinch on almost everyone, and as real estate woes push beloved restaurants to the brink — then you should be deeply sad about what’s happening to Eater.”

I'm officially out of a job--they eliminated mine, and I'm taking severance instead of a wildly different title they offered me that's not at all what I was hired to do. Solidarity forever 🌺, and while I take a breather someone come up with some good ideas of work I could do.

Some northern California producers are reporting up to 70% crop loss from grasshoppers. Where is the federal management agency that’s designed to assist with this very problem? My latest for Offrange:

While I was busy negotiating a fair contract for @voxmediaunion.bsky.social last week, I was honored to learn my @civileats.com story about fishing rights won two Indigenous Media awards, including in the best feature category! Thanks to the Indigenous Journalists Association for this recognition 🥲

Extremely proud to have been along for the ride as a member of this bargaining committee. This past week has been the highlight of my short tenure at Vox Media, and an invaluable education in what it looks like to show up for your people and your industry when it matters most. Union strong 🌺
Thank you all SO MUCH for your support. Our incredible Bargaining Committee worked into the night for us and reached a Tentative Agreement at around 5am! 🙏💪🥳🎉

As of now there will be NO STRIKE! Please continue enjoying all our work, knowing you all helped us get here! #unionstrong #voxunion #1u

📣📣📣📣📣 STRIKE AUTHORIZED, LET'S GOOOO 📣📣📣📣📣📣
We have so far been unable to reach a deal with Vox Media that includes fair pay, AI protections, competitive benefits, improved severance and layoff procedures.

Should we not reach a fair contract tonight, our 250-member @VoxMediaUnion.bsky.social has overwhelmingly authorized a strike. ⏰ @vox.com

Thanks for wanting to help! Should we go on strike, the most important thing is not to cross the picket line: don't click on, read, listen to, or watch any Vox Media products for the duration of the strike.

Should we go on strike, we'll have more specific ways to help out, so stay tuned! Thank you!
Hi! How can listeners and readers of your content best support you in this?

This is an incredible crew of folks fighting to enshrine crucial protections in their union contract. That contract will be looked to by many other unions and companies as they navigate this world that is so deeply hostile to the journalism and the truth. Give them your support!
It’s been a long day of bargaining with Vox Media, fighting hard to get a fair contract with better salaries, AI protections, the inclusion of the Dodo in our union, and much more. Come tomorrow, there’s only two days left in our contract — Vox Media, stop dragging your feet.

it’s sign-making day for the @voxmediaunion.bsky.social. There’s two days left in our contract, and we’re ready to strike if management isn’t willing to agree to a fair deal.

thank you for the solidarity @kevincortez.huffpost.com 🤝 lets get this fair contract!
Lots of awful things happening this week, but I'm still rooting for @voxmediaunion.bsky.social to secure a fair contract!

Their win helps establish industry standard practices (basic job protections against AI, higher salary floors, layoff policies, etc.), and ensures a brighter future in media.

8 days left in our contract and we’re still hard at work bargaining to get a fair contract from Vox Media and make sure our union members are taken care of!

@nymagunion.bsky.social also had members impacted by layoffs at Vox today. We stand with @voxmediaunion.bsky.social and all our comrades at Polygon.
What happened with Polygon today is so fucked. Vox Media has made some atrocious decisions in my six years here but this is really something else. And to do this in the middle of us bargaining a new union contract, where they scold us for asking for better protections, is just unconscionable.
