Findings upon my travels

Just an African wild dog andromorph wandering the web and slinging boxen in STL. May sometimes be a centaur or a Bat Pony (MLP:FiM), or an umamimi. More active at https://blog.taursnd.haus/profile/vextaur although this remains my favorite social media.

Queer pride flag

Anyone know any of the details about it?

To my eye, its far too busy, but worse still is that I can't find an explanation for all the colours. HRC has a page on Pride flags, however when describing the Queer pride flag, they only call out six of the colours, so what are the others for? And why are their two colours for each reference?

lindy hop at a rent party from the all-black film, boy! what a girl! (1947) directed by arthur h. leonard.

rent parties were social events where tenants hired musicians and charged admission as a way to pay their rent. originating in harlem, new york city, it gave black americans a way to have fun, eat a good meal, and escape the hardships and discrimination of the time.

Rent parties are also alive and well today! The dances and instrumentation may be different, but you'll still find rent parties being thrown up & down the east coast if you know where to look :)

Reasons for hope: Lots of amazing people did a ton of work to make this fantastic, fully interactive resource available - because no matter how bleak things seem, there are millions, and millions of people doing everything they can to protect both the world and their own communities.

You can use this to view and subscribe to updates, project statuses, and for at least some of them even whole dossiers. This is an amazing resource, I highly recommend checking it out

Unfortunately you can't really avoid Taylor Farms, they pretty much own the lettuce business. No, not kidding, over on Wafrn there was a post about this, and linked to the FDA submission from Taylor Farms problem is that they only show abbreviations for their customers. I've been able to guess most of the unconfirmed ones:

CV, Cross Valley Farms, US Foods brand Mark, Markon from Gordon Food Service MKTSD, Marketside, Walmart's brand, confirmed PK, Peak Fresh Produce, Performance Food Service brand Sub, I'm guessing Subway, massive chain that only uses one lettuce product, and in a business where having your own food service has been done before, seems a safe bet SY, Sysco, confirmed TF, Taylor Farms, they have a food service division

That only leaves JB as one I'm clueless on.

ok sorry to double reblog BUT I just looked him up and he does these fantastic videos where he breaks down HOW he actually mimics the other artists’ styles. Like for ed Sheeran, he explains how he brings his voice forward in the mouth, while Adam Levine sings in the back of the mouth, stuff like that. It’s SO COOL, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone actually break down how to do this sort of thing, as a skill, instead of just treating it like a neat trick they just happen to be good at. https://www.tiktok.com/@justinjmooremusic

Check him out he’s so cool

How many people will come in contact with the cyclospora parasite because the Trump regime is trying to protect one of its wealthy donors?

But that's only the tip of the iceberg, because cutbacks to the CDC likely interfered with how rapidly the government responded to this outbreak.

The CDC Has a Cyclospora Lab. DOGE Downsized It Last Year

“Based on simple math, these outbreak responses—which require rapid, timely responses—are going to be greatly diminished,” the former CDC la

As cases of the diarrhea-causing parasite cyclospora rise across the US, former employees of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say the country’s response is being severely hampered by personnel cuts at the agency. [....] “Cyclospora is just one piece. It's making the news right now, but there are other, more dangerous pathogens than cyclospora" [said a former CDC lab director].

Contrary to Trump & the MAGA GOP's lies, the "deep state" ((i.e., agencies that regulate businesses & protect public health) is what protects Americans from being potentially hurt by shoddy corporate farming and production practices. They protect us from food, water, and air contamination.

Notice that RFK, Jr. of Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) fame, just went along with all these cuts.

If anything, under RFK, Jr.'s leadership, the CDC & other DHHS departments new mission logo should be: Make America Sick Again (MASA).

  Oh, that last picture? That’s just Steven Miller – a senior advisor to #ManChildTrump – throwing up White Power signs in the White House press briefing room. No big deal, right?
