Jesus is spraying herbicides on the side of the road next to a strawberry field. He is wearing a fluorescent vest, so passing cars will see him. However, he was not provided with a protective suit or mask to safeguard him from the chemicals he is spraying. #WeFeedYou

Marcela, a mother of 3, shared this video from the tangerine harvest in Sanger CA. She earns $55 for each 1,000 lb crate she harvests. She fills 2 crates in her 7 hr work day. She worries about meeting expenses, including gas she uses in her 80-mile round-trip drive. #WeFeedYou

That feeling when a struggling student finally masters a concept you've been teaching for weeks.
No organization system can replace that professional satisfaction.

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment.
I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face.
And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.

A reminder that fiction — books, film, games, what have you — is always political. The willful absence of “politics” in any work is itself a political choice and a political act. Who gets to tell (and sell) stories is political. It might be an undercurrent — covert, not overt. But it’s there.

Saying goodbye to my 13 yo Boston Terrier, Cora, on Monday. She will join her 17 yo Chihuahua sister, Teeny, who passed in Sept. Am blessed both made it so long but also feeling it. Gotta enjoy the time that’s left. Good reminder that life is now…
