The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor
The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

A second round of cyclospora and a new egg recall for salmonella. Weird how this suddenly starts happening when we roll back safety regulations and put idiots in charge.

Physicist & chemist Marie Curie was the: + First woman to win a Nobel Prize + First person & only woman to win twice + Only person to ever win a Nobel Prize in 2 different sciences: Physics (1903) & Chemistry (1911) Marie Skłodowska Curie died #OTD in 1934. #WomenInSTEM
A striking black-and-white studio portrait of Marie Curie (1867–1934), the legendary Polish-French physicist and chemist who revolutionized modern science by discovering radioactivity, polonium, and radium. As the only person to win Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields, her profound historical significance is reflected in her serious, deeply introspective expression. Photographed from the chest up, she looks directly at the camera with an intense, analytical gaze. Her graying hair is styled in a soft updo, framing a face etched with a look of quiet resolve and intellectual focus. She wears a dark, textured jacket over a shirt adorned with a distinctive geometric, black-and-white checkered pattern at the neckline. The portrait utilizes a stark, dark, textured background that blends into her clothing, creating a high-contrast composition that draws complete focus to her face. The overall mood is solemn, dignified, and powerful, capturing the essence of a brilliant academic pioneer who dedicated her life to scientific discovery.

Mercury is definitely kicking my ass, even though retrograde isn’t till next week. The fast food joint that I will not name got my order wrong (although I’m OK with the strawberry shake mixup) but then they wanted to charge $.25 for a bag to get it to go.

I used to be a grocery store witch for spell ingredients, but now I have to save all my money for actual ingredients. So I’m going to see if the dollar store has anything reasonable. If not, then I’m going to have to build a new set of spells for stuff I can either find, afford or already have.

I just woke up from a 5 hour nap after a week or more of broken sleep (I don’t function without sleep. Think 3 year old who needs a nap and is having a meltdown.) and then I drank 2 white Monsters in rapid succession (SO YUMMY). So I’m either going to hear colors very soon or go back to sleep.

My sciatica has been a real buzkill lately. I had it more or less controlled with specific exercises (which also helped the pain of Ferdinand the fibroid from hell) and then I got sick and fell out of habit. So it’s back and I haven’t managed to keep it at bay with being back on my routine yet. 😟

So Kindle is removing tech support from its device, pretty much requiring people to buy new ones, and introducing ads. This is why we sell our ReBound press books on Kobo. Also for ideological reasons: Amazon has been terribly destructive too booksellers and publishers, and I refuse to support it.

Moon Pie is 15 this month; a little old lady with quite a set of lungs on her. She wakes me up in the mornings for food (mostly wet food with a side of kibble to coddle her old lady kidneys) but the problem is that in the resulting cat food chaos, I forget what I dreamed and can’t write it out.

You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify if it's a hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.
