Grape harvesting season is in full swing in Kern County CA. Workers tell us it was 94° at 11am. They shared that the labor is exhausting, but they know how to do it well. They earn minimum wage and this labor is what pays their bills. #WeFeedYou #calor

piggybacking off this: the most powerful sales technique in the world, for pretty much all of human history, has been word of mouth. If you like something someone made, TELL YOUR FRIENDS. Tell everyone. Leave reviews. Repost. Talk about it. Link to it and link to the artist.

Most creatives literally cannot exist without social media support at this stage. There just isn’t another viable option, which is bad for our mental health and long term viability. You literally do have to buy from the artists you enjoy here if you want them to continue making work.

Man, white people really eat up "peaceful" protest crap. I need y'all to put two and two together. No cops = equals peaceful. When there are crowds of predominantly white people protesting and they're called "peaceful", you're playing into the stereotype that Black people are violent which is BS.

Shuttering IMLS would be "an act of monumental neglect, violating the very foundation of America and what it stands for as a country," the publishers assert.

A doctor has been serving one of Baltimore’s poorest neighborhoods for decades — and if his patients can’t pay, that’s OK with him.
So when he was diagnosed with cancer, his community rallied to raise $100,000 for his treatments.

For decades, a doctor refused to charge patients who couldn't pay. When he couldn't pay, his patients came to his aid.

"White feminism," is not the same as "Feminists who are white."
I learn from feminists who are white every day.👍🏿
But I reject white feminism entirely. It's a danger to Black people, and I address it like the threat that it is. I make no space for it.

this chill on speech is not only anti-democratic, it’s also part of a pattern of directed violence by trump towards his enemies that goes back years and is why he should’ve been barred from running again. never forget who was on the wrong side of that, they can’t be our leaders in the post-trump era
