“Ale" works in the carrot harvest in CA. She earns $3.05 for every box of carrots she packs. One box has 24 bunches of 7 carrots each. To earn $100 she has to pack 34 boxes or 816 bunches which represents over 5000 carrots picked in a day. #WeFeedYou

This story of reproductive abuse/forced sterilization/hysterectomy is from 2020, & it's the same that the State performed countless times to Black & Native women, that Nazis did, so many eugenicists over time--

It wouldn't surprise if it's happening now, too.

This is what's at stake, why we fight.

no I’m not surprised, just imagining (among other things) an opposition party that took this population seriously and devoted itself over the many years it would take to make this country actually livable for them
"In 2025, 40% of women aged 15 to 44 say they would move abroad permanently if they had the opportunity. The current figure is four times higher than the 10% who shared this desire in 2014, when it was generally in line with other age and gender groups."

Same. My great aunt’s 70s phone number or my now closed 80s bank account. But what next?
No, really, I love the way my brain remembers my telephone number from 1987 and my dad’s car reg from 1977 but not the reason I walked into this room.

Sometimes heroines are beautiful, smart, & tackle the world. Sometimes, they’re neither bold, nor assertive but find their own path in life. One that involves piglets.

Smiling at customers already in the store will fix the bottom line?!?
This is trying to make the staff the thing that needs to be fixed.

It is not the staff.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.

If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Head cleaner asked me to switch days because a 94 year old client needed more care. He takes her shopping & to appts. Her family ignores her but “Hispanic families care for their elders.” ❤️🌈
