- TIL chickens have a salmonella vaccine but it isn't federally mandated in the US because we love to (pay to) be sick
- France invented a very efficient one
- Yay! Todd Haynes is so good at repressed characters and uncomfortable movies! And Pascal in a queer 30s noir romance wheeee. I hope his star's bright enough now that the press doesn't do that gross stuff where they pretend they're asking about the work and not "so are you gay or what"
- Nobody need me, I have to think about Pedro Pascal in the wardrobe and locations from the HBO "Perry Mason"
- I saw a video recently where someone kept saying "underage men." Doesn't that sound absurd? Why? Why is using "underage women" acceptable, especially in reporting? Maybe because so many influential men in media were happily corresponding with Jeffrey Epstein before and after his conviction?
- It's absolutely maddening how much describing real events with documentary evidence makes you sound like a bonkers conspiracy theorist
- At least reminds me to work harder at not calling women "girls" and figuring out a way to more clearly signal the differences between "dude" (exclamatory), "dude" (derogatory), "dude" (interrogatory), "dude" (appreciative), and "dude" (gender neutral).
- There's at least a sixth "dude" I can hear but can't put the right descriptor to. Like, the one where the "knock it off" part is unspoken? Kind of exclamatory but with a command or maybe a plea under it?
- A realtor once told me that the hardest homes to sell in a rural area are downwind of turkey farms bc the inescapable cloud of turkey shit stink is so foul (lol sorry but it's true). Downwind of cows is a distant third after chickens so opening a dairy w/o learning about e coli is unimaginable to me
- Also, like, I guess maybe city people who've never driven anywhere rural don't know this but even before you can see the buildings or animals of a commercial farm, ranch, or dairy, you can tell what kind of livestock they have by how bad the shit stink is? What did they think that was??
- (Cow is actually the least disgusting of the commercial livestock shit smells imo but it is unmistakably the smell of shit, and if you've never been downwind of a dairy or feedlot or in Denver before it snows: cow shit smell can travel an unbelievable distance.)
- (btw I didn't ask how hard it is to sell a house downwind of a pig farm but again imo the stink off a pig farm is much less objectionable than off a poultry operation, slightly worse than a dairy, and way better than a feedlot.)
- As a fan of milk, not ingesting cow shit, not shitting my brains out and/or dying from drinking cow shit milk, visiting our local and extremely pungent dairy, AND going at every new hobby by starting with a 100000% effort at researching it, I'm offended by everything about these idiots.
- This is bonkers. MAHA 'farmers' with ecoli tainted raw milk admit they really don't know how to make the stuff after all. "Producing raw milk takes careful planning from a facility and infrastructure standpoint. Unfortunately, we learned this after the fact." people.com/ballerina-fa...
- We're getting advice now about how to protest safely but everyone who talked tonight has been very clear about telling us to accept that doing so is truly putting your body on the line.
- Renee Good and Alex Pretti were named and thanked in every section of the call. I've been on a lot of these kind of advocacy and organizing calls over the years and never heard anything like this outside of like SNCC nonviolence training for the Freedom Summer
- The org behind tonight's call is literally by wine moms for wine moms: redwine.blue/who-we-are/
- First call to action from this call is to contact all three of your electeds in Congress tonight or in the morning to say "not a single penny more for ICE" Switchboard is 202 224 3132 If you're Ohioan, call DeWine to demand Highway Patrol not to participate in immigration enforcement 614 644 4357
- I think this is the link to one of those form letter things social.redwine.blue/s/zNZL8945
- This Haitian-led group in Springfield is a great option if you have donating money btw: haitiansupportcenter.org/about-us/ They're providing all kinds of support, including rent assistance.
