Incredible reporting by @tinavasquez.bsky.social here. A story about how the people who put food on American tables are denied water or even the ability to carry it with them or meaningfully ask for it to be provided, lest they lose their jobs working in oppressive heat.

This is a really interesting exploration of slop in music; I'd argue that it's important to distinguish genAI from other historical forms of slop, but this definitely left me with some food for thought!

I'm kind of tired of pretending that "sense of brotherhood" is a real, meaningful term and isn't just a euphemism for men's spaces where they bond over misogynistic humiliation rituals and coach each other on how best to commit sexual assault.

Om Amir has a serious retinal disease and can now see only with 1 eye. Until the crossing opens for her surgery outside Gaza we rely on weekly medicines to ease her pain and protect her vision.We need $100 for treatment.Every dollar goes to her medicines and medical needs chuffed.org/project/help...
Selfie of Amir wearing a black Tshirt, with his mother sleeping in the background. She's wearing a patch on her left* eye and she has an IV drip connected to her left* wrist. (*With the selfie flip effect, it must be her actual right eye and wrist.
