Baby orca mini breach! 🦑

Even in your darkest moments, I see your light, your worth. A true warrior does not give up, least of all on themselves.

@blarkytopia.bsky.social got me these because I, um, have been saying this as long as he’s known me. Had to internet dive to remind me where I got it. Such deep nostalgic joy ensued.

"Pablo" is picking oranges in Woodlake, CA. He shares, "We fill around 5 bins in a 6 hour work day. The work is very hard on the bodies as they have to go up and down a 16 foot ladder while carrying a sack of oranges that weighs 60lbs-80 lbs." #WeFeedYou

Nap time! Blanket fort if ya got em.

@funranium.bsky.social for your mental repository of food things

Farm workers are hard at work setting up irrigation pipes for the carrot harvest in Kern County CA. This is difficult skilled work as too much or too little water means we won't end up with carrots on our tables. #WeFeedYou

Ike’s okay with some graven images, so long as they supplement not supplant.

lol “find your own instead of stealing” in defense of columbus day

"Maria" is rolling up raisins under the hot Madera sun. To earn $70, she has to roll 1,000 sheets! Each row has around 250 sheet. It's hard grueling work walking on the burning sand for hours rolling one sheet after another. #WeFeedYou

Assisted Living going the extra mile for Halloween.

being trans is awesome and trans people are amazing and gender is a dumb box and anyone who makes their own crowbar to smash it from inside is a hero actually.

Do not disturb the kitty, unless treats.

rereading a novel from the 50s set in the 30s and i know this passage did not hit as hard when i first read it in the 90s as it does now

Mini mix-and-match me!

Your daily Ike.

If you're driving through Kern County CA at this time of year it's common to see workers harvesting grapes on the side of the road. It was around 90° in Mettler CA around 1pm on the day this photo was taken. Workers were going full speed despite the heat. #WeFeedYou

Which is true? Either Trump’s Labor Department actually believes that immigration enforcement is threatening food security, or they are pretending the threat is real in order to crush wages for farm workers. prospect.org/politics/tru...

How indoor bike instead of outdoor walk went this morning:

The painting milestone for my first $500 raised for this year’s #EXTRALIFE are these fabulous Magma Fiends. I am very happy happy with how they turned out, and they look great on the board with their lava trails. Team Sensible Shoes will have a fiery good time fighting them in six weeks!

HAPPENING NOW: Emergency hearing before Judge Karin Immergut on Trump's effort to circumvent her temporary restraining order re: Oregon national guard deployment. I plan to listen in for @lawfaremedia.org. Follow along (court remote access technology permitting...) ⬇️🧵

The work day is ending in a Kern Co. grape vineyard. A crew boss is looking through the packed grapes double-checking the quality. To his side a packer is about to weigh a box of grapes. Each box contains 8-12 bags of grapes and weighs up to 22 lbs. #WeFeedYou

In just 6 weeks Team Sensible Shoes will gather around my table and livestream our Shadows of Brimstone experience as we take part in #EXTRALIFE for the 9th year. Help us help the kids, make the game more exciting too! Character selections are still up for grabs! www.extra-life.org/participant/...

Why does bluesky hate my frens? Mutuals feed makes me concerned @funranium.bsky.social hasn’t posted for 3 days. I check and find several newer posts not showing in the mutuals feed. Same for @blarkytopia.bsky.social. I check, yes we are mutuals. Some setting? Sigh.

This shit is exhausting. By design. It’s easier to give up and let our lungs fill with water. The surface is so very far away. But the bottom is much deeper. Keep reaching. You might be the hand in the darkness someone else is searching for.

Me: I made a dinner. It took many steps. My life, my love, my forever emergency contact: welcome to cooking.

Excel, I bid thee calculate faster. And only recalculate when I have made an actual change to the contents of a cell. 😱🥴😵‍💫

There are times when weariness overtakes you, where courage feels beyond you, where staying strong is a daunting task. Take heart! The path to glory is not a straight line, and though detours and setbacks abound, the path is still there. So too is your strength, your courage, your glorious destiny.

One of my key takeaways was that George Michael was in Wham!. Don’t worry - there’s much, much more to it.

Sacramento first week of fall: picking figs and apples in 90+ degree heat ✅

Accidentally ran into old game executables while looking for another file. So an hour of FullTilt Pirate occurred. Cannonball in the bilge!

big cats acting like little cats is one of life’s great joys

"Ana" harvests strawberries on CAs Central Coast. She shares, "I earn two dollars for a box of 4 big plastic baskets. Harvesting strawberries is very difficult. You have to work quickly to make many boxes. I spend the entire day hunched over." #WeFeedYou

We are now just under two months out from our game days for Extra Life. I am itching to play some Brimstone in the way that only gets as weird and challenging as it does when generous donors make the Kazoo of Destiny go off. www.extra-life.org/participants...

Grumpy about algorithms and feeds. I want to build lists of specific accounts and be able to view everything posted by those accounts in chronological order. No adjustments, no interference. Considering trimming my follows so I miss less. (Except mutuals will only show two days anyhow). Grumpy.

Yesterday - starting to celebrate the season a little early.

All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

“Andres” is an almond harvester in Delano CA. He works long hours every day shaking the almond trees so the nuts fall to the ground but this work is especially grueling on days like this when the temperature reached 105°. #WeFeedYou

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

It’s happening again! Team Sensible Shoes once again heads to the mines to fight monsters and rack up mutations to help the kids of Children’s Miracle Network! Game days are Nov 15 & 16, but all manner of chaos-inducing incentives are open now! www.extra-life.org/participant/...

"Julia's" picking tomatoes CA San Joaquin Valley. " I get up at 2am to get ready for the day. We start work early cause of the heat. Once it gets hot, we can't harvest as fast. We usually work 4-5 hrs. It's hard, but this is peak season when we could earn the most." #WeFeedYou

This Labor Day weekend as we enjoy barbecues and picnics, let's remember the farm workers who labor so hard to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay
