It was in the high 30°s this day at 8am in Delano CA. The cold had caused an irrigation hose to burst in this grape vineyard. A group of farm workers was carefully fixing the hose picking their way through a muddy field. #WeFeedYou

NYT columnist David Brooks wrote an op-ed a few weeks ago titled, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out,” lamenting people are too focused on the Epstein scandal + saying "the QAnon mentality has taken over."
Today he appeared in 4 photos from the Epstein dump. Welp! www.huffpost.com/entry/david-...

There's no indication The New York Times columnist did anything wrong. But wow, the timing of his column and the photo dump is unfortunate!

At age 83, Sylvia Snowden still paints every day. She uses acrylic paint and oil pastels on masonite to create thrilling, sculptural impastos, which she has fittingly identified as “structural abstract expressionism.”
For Sylvia Snowden, Color Is Life
The 83-year-old artist has dubbed her painterly detonations of color, which physically undulate from their surfaces, as “structural abstract expressionism.”

Hello friends, I recently lost my health insurance + benefits & am currently looking at a bill of over $16,000 for which I cannot pay. This would not necessarily be an issue if I were not visually impaired and currently out of full time work, but I am humbly asking for assistance now. Any bit helps.

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

I kept forgetting to do this so I actually changed the word Black in my autocorrect dictionary to automatically capitalize the work Black and yeah it sometimes means I have to go and uncapitalize it but it’s so worth the occasional extra work and it guarantees I’ll never forget to do it.
Now that this administration has directly taken aim at it, I am no longer tolerating white people who want to talk about politics with me who do not capitalize the B in Black. It's a tell. And it's automatically disqualifying of anyone who wants my time or attention.
