living this in real time is crazy

In Appalachia, our cultural foods have evolved in the way that they have because our ancestors were poor and starving. Poor, white southerners ate foods that were cheap and calorically-dense. This is why we now eat biscuits and gravy, grits, and local vegetables cooked in leftover animal fats.

They were lucky to have had things like flour and grease to make gravy. My grandparents regularly only had this to eat, and even then, the food was scarce.

Cuisine that has evolved from poverty is not exclusive to another race or another country. Americans, Europeans, white people in general — have all struggled with poverty, and many of our cultures adapted and survived eating scraps, like these people are doing now. You are not genetically superior because you are blessed with abundant resources. You are lucky to have been born into the abundant wealth that America has today. Using these peoples’ suffering as evidence that Haitian immigrants are an inferior people is mind-blowingly cruel and ignorant.

If you want to look down on Haitian immigrants because people in their homeland are starving, then I guess you should deport all of us in Appalachia and plenty of southerners whose ancestors worked hard but still spent years doing things like this to SURVIVE.

You are the entitled elite that republicans claim to hate so much.

Green spaces promote healthy living through boosted immune systems, improved sleep, and much more.

Why do we take these away so easily? In a beautiful city encapsulated through nature on every corner, we are only years away from these trees being removed from every block.

Right outside of our beautiful home in Brooklyn, an authorization of tearing down a 40-year old Mulberry tree.

How do we stop this? How do we ensure a safe green space in our urban areas? How do we promote a good quality of life when we tear down the very thing that supports it?

When I was in Iraq we do a home search where weapons were discovered & it became clear the owner of the home knew about it. We had to have an NCO or senior LCpl in any room the search was occuring & document anything we had to destroy (mattresses etc) so the family could be

I don't think I've ever seen a multi colored roof like that before! I'm not sure if it's original or not but I love it
