Sunday in Spring
Spent today making kombucha, strawberry vanilla jam, granola, and focaccia dough, along with asparagus, sweet pea, and artichoke pasta salad and baked chicken for dinner.
Also enjoyed a 3 mile walk with the puppy, who tried to lay down at least once per mile. Lazy dog.
These American Companies Refused To Sign The Bangladesh Safety Accord →
The deadline to sign onto the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh passed on Tuesday, and at least 14 major North American retailers declined to participate.BIG SURPRISE. American corporations doing their favorite dance, it is called the Sweatshop Shuffle and they’ve made it look effortless. Americans won’t change their consumption habits, so why would these companies change the production methods that keep everyone looking fly? Get that Gap, girl.
This is also why I won’t just talk about food and food justice. I am ultimately only interested in decolonization. This is the world that Western Capitalist Imperialism has built. This is about industrial channels of production and consumption practices that RELY on the dehumanization of others. Our food system is just one cog in this shitty machine. Working toward an oppression-free lifestyle has always been important to me, and for fashion-based reasons alone, I wouldn’t be caught DEAD in these stores/brands as it is. But, I’m always quite thankful for a little update to my boycott list.
14 companies refused to sign, and we should all know who they are:
Wal-Mart
Gap
Macy’s
SEARS
JC Penney’s
NorthFace
Target
Kohl’s
CATO Fashions
Osh Kosh
Nordstrom
American Eagle Outfitters
Foot Locker
The Children’s Place
Fuck em and Duck em, ya’ll.

my
heart beats, house rumbles
with the subwoof, bass banging
breaking windows down my block
hip hop and the call to prayer
at 7:00
meld into one seamless melody
reminding me to
bow my head in reverence
to heritage
and sewer scents
this is
beauty in spite of…
aw! random internet find
anonymous asked: I have only ever had positive experiences with cops, but I realize that is because I am a “nice white lady” and that shit is fucked up.
WHAT A SURPRISE
As a “nice white lady” pulled over by a cop for no reason in southern Mississippi last month, first thing I said after was “that would have been so much worse if I was black.”

This must be where they keep all the illegal moonshine and extra strong hooch—“For librarians only.”
You look like an owl. No! It’s cute. Because of your glasses. Not because you have brown and white feathers or anything.
