@ieatantz but your observation is so so true and important. People talk about this like it is an iron law when really this was a diet that developed in the last 50 years and is only viable with giant agribusiness subsidies. It’s fucking insane! Plants are cheaper than meat!!!
@ieatantz I dont entirely disagree either! I know it is a fact that a lot of plant proteins are expensive for no reason, not available in every market, and ground beef can be cheap as shit. I mean there ARE alternatives (good ol beans, rice and corn), but this is still a fact
Ok, last thing, and I know it's unpopular, but on "grad students make this place run" and are "workers": when you become a professor, you will learn this is completely untrue. Love our students, but they are *students* and incredibly costly ones. 1/3
The weather conditions are beginning to deteriorate. Winds are picking up to around 32 knots (37mph) with waves starting to build. Captain McSorley and Captain Cooper radio each other to discuss altering their route to avoid the worst of the storm.
mfers talking about organizing a new democratic socialist international but their chapter got 10 members like bro organize your democratic socialist local first
Overall I thought the pitchfork list is very solid. They are representing a lot of bands who are lesser-known but who I still love.
They may have debated including some of the records on my list too but concluded they weren’t indie rock.
That’s fine. This is all for fun!!
My moldy take on the “discourse” is that just because you can live on low pay doesn’t mean you should nor should it be romanticized. Working in the arts has always paid shit and that won’t ever change. Hard to justify doing unless you have a financial safety net of some sort.
@unfolkist I think the issue is that artist now gain popularity online and not through touring so they get popular before cutting their teeth live so they have to learn how to play live in front of a big audience instead of being allowed to tour for 5 or more years before hand like GBV
