it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

When you see me in an American flag tee shirt, just know I’m reclaiming patriotism.
This was quite lovely

Reminds me of people telling women to “just breastfeed” during the formula shortage.
That’s the kind of kneejerk dismissive advice that makes me violent. Telling people to just grow their own food is tantamount to telling them to eat cake.
On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

The Mr. Rogers advice for moments of crisis is a useful thing to remember right now.
Look for the helpers.
Look for the people organizing to protect the most vulnerable.
Look for the people who have been concretely planning for how to respond, and are ready to implement.
Join them, if you can.
