Canadian who has ended up in the US, and still a little confused how that happened. My landlord doesn’t allow pets so forming parasocial relationships with all of the cats and dogs online.
Far be it from me to question the supremacy of the United States Postal Service’s logistical prowess, but I don’t really understand the logic of a shipment that goes from a city that’s about 100 miles from me to a city that’s almost 400 miles away

"Justo" is hard at work harvesting pomegranates in the Fresno CA area. "We earn CA minimum wage for our work which is difficult as pomegranates are very heavy. When we are releasing themvinto the bin we need to do so very slowly so we don't damage the fruit. #WeFeedYou

"Camilo" is harvesting pomegranates in Firebaugh, CA. "We earn minimum wage. It's very tiring work. We climb up and down ladders with a heavy sack of fruit. We then rush to empty the sack into the bin. Today was a good day as the ground wasn't wet from the rain." #WeFeedYou

After midnight is the perfect time to be distracted from cleaning my apartment to start random crafting projects, right? Right!?!?!???

41 minutes is a long time to sit in your air conditioned office watching men struggle to survive as you decide to kill them.

listen

I don't have any illusions about the United States military, what it does, or how many times this has happened before

but the fact that they sat there for 41 minutes, watched two scared, human beings desperately struggling to stay alive, and then murdered them has fucked me up so deeply

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

Farm workers are harvesting green onions by hand in Kern County CA. They bend over for long hours, cutting, bunching, and stacking the onions into crates loaded onto nearby trailers. The work is physically demanding, requiring precision and endurance under the sun. #WeFeedYou

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis.

They coined the term “useless eaters”.

They tested the gas chambers on us.

They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives.

That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous.

We’re not expendable

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

I went to an "ojos" training tonight hosted by New Orleans DSA and Union Migrante and thought I'd pass on new things I learned:

1. Low/old info ICE sighting posts are wreaking havoc on immigrant communities. Basically, incomplete or old info is actively harmful (even if ppl have good intentions)

My Christmas tree is up, decorations are out, it’s snowing outside, and I’m drinking wine while eating pad thai and watching a terrible Christmas movie in cozy pyjamas. Life is good 😊

Starbucks knows where we stand. We’ve been clear: more take-home pay, better hours, & resolution of 100s of ULPs.

Bring us NEW proposals that address these issues so we can finalize a contract. Until then, we'll keep escalating. See you on the picket line!

If I had any animation skills I’d make a version of Rite of Spring where all of the dancers are turkeys
I don’t believe in killing things so I just play the rite of spring and let the turkey dance itself to death

Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.
