Guys... please, stay alive for the books you haven't read, the anime you haven't finished, and the stray cats you haven't petted yet. Stay alive for the smell of rain, your morning coffee, the songs that will become your new favorites, and the versions of yourself you haven't met yet

"Alice" sent this photo from where she's working in the blueberries in Kern County. "We are paid piece rate - $1.10 a pound. However a lot of the fruit is still green, so it's very slow picking. Even working fast, we only pick around 13 lbs per hour." #WeFeedYou
