I like physical books because Christ get me away from a screen for some time during the day. Outside & sunshine is nice too.

"Daisy" is working in the raisin harvest. "My job is to pick the grapes and place them on paper on the ground to dry and become raisins. This work is very difficult. The temp in Madera this day was 98°. We just have to endure it as there is no shade to protect us." #WeFeedYou

Local businesses and residents benefit when they’re located near BART stations. BART stations create destinations and with that, a livable and thriving Bay Area for all.

TBH this is only platform I use anymore. Main reason is they make it easy to block/mute stuff I don’t want to see. Just can’t deal with sites that relentlessly push stuff I don’t want at me.

"Pablo" and his coworkers are pruning the blackberry bushes. This careful precise work means the bushes continue to produce prime fruit. #WeFeedYou

It’s like listen to Black people. Give Black people the mic. Believe Black people. Elevate Black people. What’s so hard?! It vanishes a lot of problems overnight. But it’s the one thing they don’t want to do.

I’d pay money for BART tours that included behind-the-scenes at control center and walking through some of the tunnels.

Mychal being named the new host of Reading Rainbow is the best news and it's the best news that we all deserve. bookriot.com/new-host-of-...

"Ian" is harvesting brussel sprouts in Salinas, CA. Part of it is done w/a machine, but a crew of workers needs to cut off the stalks in the field, while another worker cut off the leaves as he feeds the stalks into the machine. It's tiring work especially in the heat. #WeFeedYou

To be honest, I don’t understand how any of them are going to say anything funnier than “Riyadh comedy festival”

Workers are in the Gilroy CA area weeding lettuce. One worker has to walk next to the irrigation pipe. He is careful as it would be easy to slip and injure himself trying to keep up with the other workers. #WeFeedYou

The only way to see the US as a historically white country is if you pretend Indigenous Americans don't exist and you ignore the fact that African Americans have been in this country longer than most of its white people. The way US history is taught from k-12 affirms the lie of white supremacy.

The unsung heroes of America: lifelong agency workers at Social Security, Medicare, VA and so many other agencies who are staying there to ensure the American people are taken care of. They didn’t have to stay. They are being worked into the ground. Thank you with all of my heart.🙏

Our Social Security system is FULLY AFFORDABLE, as long as we make the wealthy pay in at the same rate as the rest of us.

Happy 40th Ganniversary to all who celebrate.

Therapy actually made most of my relationships stronger. The only ones that got worse or went away were ones that had long passed their expiration date and I just wasn’t being honest with myself about it or doing what needed to be done.

🔥PLEASE REPOST🔥"The ONLY reason the system hasn’t already collapsed is mission-driven staffers who remain DO the work of 5 people. They're holding Social Security together w/shoestrings & chewing gum, but they can’t do it forever." - Nancy Altman - Social Security Works🔥🔥 thehill.com/opinion/whit...

"Yoli" is hard at work harvesting wine grapes in CAs Central Valley. She shares they work in teams of three, with two people picking the grapes and one person packing them. The grapes are packed in boxes to protect them during transport. #WeFeedYou

"Saul" picks cilantro & parsley on CAs Central Coast. It's hard work as one needs to be on your knees all day long on the cold dirt and that causes your body to ache. Working rapidly is essential as you're paid by how many bunches you harvest. #WeFeedYou

I absolutely love this, but did you know you - yes you! - can also donate directly to the Transgender Film Center via their website here? And if you are short of cash, don't worry - maybe just sign up to their newsletter instead! Help spread the word: transfilmcenter.org

"Veronica" shared this photo with us from the Atwater CA area, saying, "It's almond picking season. This is what the fields look like right before the harvest." #WeFeedYou

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money!

It was 101° when these farm workers in the Mettler, CA area in early September were weeding an organic carrot field. This careful hand weeding helps the carrots grow big and healthy and is necessary in order to avoid the use of pesticides. #WeFeedYou #CALOR

Awareness in healthcare & Social Security is so crucial. Always keep up awareness, don't let ANYONE tell you it doesn't matter. Make it matter. Let's make some wonderful changes. I know we can. I believe in YOU & in the last 8 years I have seen the worst but ALSO the BEST of humanity. It does exist!

Only times I've handled more than $15,000 or $20,000 in cash – let alone $50,000 – was to buy and sell trucks I've owned. Of course, if you're legitimately buying or selling a truck you'll also have a truck, title and bank receipt for the cash on hand.

happy autumn equinox from me and prince rogers nelson.

"Lionel" sent us this photo from Bakersfield CA where pistachio harvesting season has just begun. He shared that when they were taking their lunch break it was 91°. #WeFeedYou #calor

Farm workers move rapidly in the field to harvest hundreds of boxes full of parsley throughout the day. #WeFeedYou Los campesinos se mueven rápidamente en el campo para cosechar cientos de cajas llenas de perejil durante todo el día. #SoyEsencial

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

"Julio" is collecting pipes that were used to water the cauliflower in Salinas CA. Once he's done another machine will dig under the rest of the plants that were left. So the next crop can be planted. #WeFeedYou

Busy day! Knocked out a sub two-hour half marathon run🏃, tried six different chilis and a craft IPA 🍺 at local chili 🌶️ cookoff then browsed at local library for some new reading material 📚. Saturday!

This is so fascinating

Currently boycotting my childhood memories of Mickey Mouse’s Picnic.

Linda Ronstadt releases “It’s So Easy” — her cover of the Buddy Holly classic — 48 years ago today. It was “an afterthought that we threw in,” she said. “We needed an uptempo song because we had so many ballads. .. It’s kind of country, kind of rock ‘n’ roll .. a little bit of all those things.”

Farm workers in upstate NY shared this pic with us from where they were doing the final thinning and pruning before the apple harvest begins in late September. They tell us, sometimes they walk 5+ miles a day moving up and down these rows pruning the trees. #WeFeedYou

Cool vid on tractors. When I was a kid we had a Farmall H from the 1940s. At time it was 50 years old and still performed. Companies know how to make useful, affordable, quality stuff. They choose not to. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0yW...

Sweet potato season is in full swing in Merced County CA. Workers sort the potatoes the machine digs up into large plastic bin - depending on size and variety. "Monica" shares, "My back and neck ache from bending over and organizing the potatoes into these deep bins". #WeFeedYou
