You ever get a craving for a certain art medium and have to scramble for something to do with it? Yeah same. ANYWAY this took a week and it kicked my ass and when my dad walked in he said “Is that perspective collage? Do you hate yourself???” And tbh yeah I was a little insane for that but it was funnnnn and I think I nailed the vibe I was going for!

(Also I spent so long picking out the products on the shelves and I put a lot of thought into it yet you can’t see 80% of them but at least I know)

Support the Gainesville Free Grocery Store!

(Not to be confused with the Gainesville Free Store, which you should also support)

From their website:

We are an all-volunteer mutual aid food pantry and garden based in Gainesville, FL. We support our communities’ right to healthy and nutritious food by distributing free food through delivery and in-person services, and by growing some of the food ourselves! We give out food for free to people dealing with food insecurity, no questions asked. We deliver food to folks who can’t leave their homes due to lack of transportation or disability. We grow veggies at the McRorie Community Garden! All produce is distributed through our pantries.

Hi! The city of Gainesville, Florida is one of the worst places in America to be homeless, but the good news is that it's also in the middle of an apocalyptic housing crisis. Large swaths of the city, including its remaining Black neighborhoods, are food deserts. The Gainesville Free Grocery Store distributes free food to the hungry and needy on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at the Civic Media Center at 433 South Main Street downtown, and they help a lot of people and are saving lives. They could use support!

From the website:

Donating Food

As of November 2025, we can accept food donations at Working Food (219 NW 10th Ave. Gainesville, FL) on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10a-2p. If you have a larger donation you’d like to make but cannot come during those times, please email us to coordinate an alternate drop-off time.

You can also donate food on the same day as our food pantries at the Civic Media Center (433 S. Main St.) as early as 12 pm. On good weather days, you can drop off food in the courtyard, but please text us if you’ve left food so that we know and can bring it inside.

Guidelines for what we can and prefer to accept are as follows:

Packaged food – Must be unopened and unexpired

Canned proteins (beans, tuna, chicken)

Grains (rice, pasta, flour, cornmeal)

Shelf-stable milks

Oils (vegetable, olive, etc.)

Snacks (crackers, gummies, applesauce)

Ground coffee

Baby food

We always appreciate gluten-free products and vegan substitutes!

Fruits and vegetables

Must not be moldy or severely damaged

We welcome farm or garden-fresh vegetables!

Eggs

We cannot accept farm-fresh eggs due to food safety guidelines

Prepared food

We cannot accept fresh/homemade prepared food

If you’d like to run a food drive for us, email, Instagram DM, or call us!

Giving Money

Recurring donations help us create stability for people experiencing food insecurity. Recurring donations help us transform from charity and towards solidarity. $10 pays for a week of groceries for 5 families. $50 pays for a little more than a month for the same 5 families.

The easiest way to donate money is through our PayPal, Venmo, or CashApp.

...

Also reblog this post a lot! I'll try to remember to do a fresh reblog with times and dates when each event is announced, so don't forget to check the notes :)

More underweighted meat uncovered as big grocers hit with class action lawsuit | CBC News

CBC News's investigation into underweighted meat has sparked anger among shoppers who are grappling with high food prices. Meanwhile, big gr

After Deborah Eakins read the recent CBC News investigation about Loblaw, Sobeys and Walmart grocery stores overcharging customers by selling underweighted meat, she weighed her ground beef. To her surprise, the meat, bought at Sobeys-owned Pete's Frootique in the Halifax area, appeared to have been weighed with the hard plastic packaging. CBC News purchased three packages of ground beef from the same store and got the same results. The calculated overcharge was $1.23 — six per cent on the $21.29 bill. Under federal regulations, posted net weights for packaged food — and prices based on that weight — can't include the packaging.
