are people talking about the labor conditions at Taylor Farms yet? like the fact they use enslaved prisoners in their facilities?

are we drawing the connection between worker safety and consumer safety & public health yet?

are people demanding to see the conditions in this place that keeps making us sick? why are the enslaved workers not having the time to use the bathroom or to rest when ill? very few people would shit in front of their coworkers given any choice at all.

On the prisoners point:

Prisoners in the U.S. are part of a hidden workforce linked to hundreds of popular food brands

In a sweeping two-year investigation, The Associated Press found goods linked to prisoners wind up in the supply chains of everything from F

More on the health point:

Nothing more painful than when a kind stranger tells you about some random AI feature in a way that is clearly meant to be helpful and you have to choose between nodding along in despair or turning wokezilla 3000 on them

[marzipanandminutiae]

I pick option 3: politely say that I don't use AI but I appreciate the thought

If they ask, I'll explain, but that's a complete sentence. no betraying of my morals OR coming in too hot for the tone of the interaction (although if they do ask, there's never a bad time to remind people of why generative AI is awful)

If they ask more than 4 questions (in good faith), I ask if they would like my full answers. Most people say yes! My hairdresser was all "why did you think I wouldn't want to know?", and I was all "oh, it was more of a time commitment thing. this is currently My Topic, and i try to be considerate."

Bears are awesome but I wish we got more representation of fat guys that aren't just handsome but specifically beautiful. Ethereal. I'm talking long flowy hair and elegant poses and cunty outfits. Rose petals fluttering in the wind when he's onscreen. We have the big strong hypermasculine fat men and they're a 10/10 but where's the fat prettyboys. Do I have to make them all myself. I'll do it, don't test me.

everyone i've talked to about this has been completely unaware so: if you didn't know already, there's going to be a solar eclipse, with totality or coverage of 90% or more in some places, over a lot of europe, on august 12th 2026. in the uk it will start just after 6pm, and the maximum will be at 7:13pm.

here is a map of the path of the eclipse (from timeanddate)

get eclipse glasses if you want to look at it. it is not safe to look at through sunglasses. ok informative post over o7

[ex-libris-craux]

mostly missing me but i know a bunch of folks that are right in the path 🥰 enjoy it for me, my lovelies!
