He has labored in the fields every summer and on weekends during the school year since he was 11 years old to help his mother, who also picks berries.
His siblings, uncles and cousins — four of them minors — work in local strawberry fields.
Jose said that some days he didn’t fill many boxes and earned less than minimum wage for the hours he worked,
Awhich would be a violation of state child labor laws.
He described toiling under the hot sun in fields where employers f…

I've spent almost all of my life with highly intelligent men. They're not
like other men. Their spirit is great and stimulating. They hate strife;
indeed they reject it. Their inventive gifts are boundless. They demand
devotion and obedience. And a sense of humor. I happily gave all of this.
I was lucky to be chosen and clever enough to understand them.

Falls ich mal sterben sollte (naja, eher: Wenn ich sterbe) haben aber ein Dutzend Leute ein Problem.
Anscheinend bin ich sowas wie die "wie war nochmal mein Passwort für XY" Auskunftei für mehr Leute als mit lieb ist.
Ich habe inzwischen eine DATENBANK aufgebaut für die Passwörter anderer Leute und überraschend viele Sachen weiss ich auswendig.
Toll.

Starfleet Academy is a weird show. I'm trying to not watch it as a startrek show to give it more a chance.
This show is much easier to compare to Lower Decks and Prodigy then other shows IMHO.
Which makes it more clear the show is too loose. The script just need way more polish and pace to make ever scene and line count. Main kids characters should be more involved and adults less involved. I know too little about these characters.

VILA: [Trips and sits down heavily in the pile of sand] Funny, aren't I? If I died it'd be a real joke. Who'd care? Who cared about Cally?
TARRANT: You know, I have a theory about all this. Keller's base was wiped out by a mysterious virus that left the corpses supple and undecayed. I say corpses; if we were able to search the place we'd find the others. I'm sure of that. What else have we got? A planet that registers a life re…
I guess I’m unintentionally going to break LibreFM with how many times I play Zoë Straub’s "Loin d’ici (Esc version)" on repeat.
I'm actually autistic with a hyperfixation on Loin d'ici (Esc version) since May 14, 2016.

It’s ridiculous that we still have to say #TransRightsAreHumanRights 🏳️⚧️🔥. This world should already know that every trans person deserves freedom. But with so many people choosing ignorance, the fight for trans liberation isn’t over, it’s just getting louder. We’ll keep pushing, shouting, and building a world where trans lives aren’t debated but celebrated. 🏳️⚧️⚡
