Food is so powerful as a natural medicine. We can all eat our way to health with a few more fruit & veggies in our diet. Encouraging to see this study reported in the @nytimes

[The New York Times @nytimes]

People who tend to eat minimally processed foods like vegetables, nuts, eggs and seafood are more likely to harbor beneficial gut bacteria, researchers found. https://t.co/UzrgS2mqfh

Potentially good news on Alzheimer's. Let's hope it holds up

Did you know that when Ella Fitzgerald couldn’t get booked by clubs and TV because she was black, Marilyn Monroe offered to come to a nightclub every night and sit in the front row if they let Ella sing? That’s how you use your privilege for good.

Here are some of the resources - pls note this list is a starting point of research, it is *not exhaustive* nor is our education finite.
1) BOOKS

[Digital Don @RandallTelfer]

An example of white privilege.

You keep saying “it’s horrible that an innocent black man was killed, but destroying property has to stop”.

Try saying “It’s horrible that property is being destroyed but killing innocent black men has to stop”

Priorities. Make sense?

[Emma Gannon @emmagannon]

posting that black square is the same as posting your "thoughts and prayers", giving yourself a lil pat on the back then going back to the bubble of daily life. I feel weird about posting it now. make sure to do something alongside it: giving= time/money/resources. something.

@HirokoTabuchi I loved your article and am desperate to set up my own home compost in Manhattan! Can you recommend places in NYC/online to source coco peat and hardwood ash? I’m having trouble finding the right ingredients...
