    No one has had a bigger glow up in the last 10 years than cauliflower. It went from being ashy broccoli to being the Mystique of vegetables, always coming at you with a new shape. You want rice? Mashed potatoes? Pasta? Cheese? A man? Low cost housing? Make it from cauliflower.

    Good luck to the Uber and Lyft drivers striking today. My mom’s husband drives so they can have a little piece of something, and it’s cray how little something they get from those rides. Without those folks using their OWN cars and time, the tech companies would be nada.

    Speaking of strikes actually (totally irrelevant opener unless you’ve been scrolling my TL w/ me lol), I did some more reading last month about the 1970 U.S. postal workers strike and I REALLY wish labor history was a more widely known part of our collective public knowledge.

    this is dope and reminiscent of how youth is considered in South Africa in part as a recognition of how apartheid limited folks possibilities.

    It was encouraging to hear many organizations/organizers, at the city level, in favor of expanding the notion of ‘young adult’ all the way up to 35 yrs old & directly naming economic disparities as to why.

    It’s hard work. You have to do it. You have to get up, think about it, go to your desk, write things down... part of what you have to do is to resign yourself to, if you don’t automatically like it, the fact of the hard work that is required to do creative work. –– Pearl Cleage
