Lots of new people joining Bluesky, and lots of great starter packs floating around, so here’s another idea: if you work at the intersection of food/agriculture, nature, and climate, introduce yourself and what you do below so folks can keep connecting. Who’s here now?
I’m Kaitlin Grady, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Clever Carnivore, a #Chicago based cultivated meat company. Previously @ the Good Food Institute. Hellbent on scaling alternative proteins for the climate & removing animals from the supply chain. Classically-trained cellist & songwriter.

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.
A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

MY LATEST: Chain dollar stores promise big savings—but the low prices listed on the shelves often don’t materialize at checkout. As the cost of living soars, the customers bearing the burden are those who can least afford it. An investigation for @theguardian.com with @jocelynzuck.bsky.social.
How the dollar-store industry overcharges cash-strapped customers while promising low prices
A Guardian investigation reveals Dollar General and Family Dollar stores often fail to honor their shelf prices – charging more at checkout for everything from frying pans to Frosted Flakes

One standout sentiment came from Andy Jarvis of Bezos Earth Fund:
"I’d love to see a real, meaningful coalition around sustainable protein emerge in the world—where the meat industry, AP advocates, gov'ts, and finance all realize this isn’t a ‘problem area,’ it’s a ‘massive solution’ area.” 👏

Immigration officers hauled away a construction worker in Cary NC. "A half mile up the road, they looked at his wallet and saw he was a citizen," said his supervisor. "They pulled him out of the van and threw his wallet out the window. He had to walk back here." #ncpol www.cbs17.com/news/local-n...
