it was a cashier shading a customer for buying a $40 bday cake w/ebt
which just may have been the only store-bought sweet that household enjoyed in months: it was likely a “splurge” for a special occasion
shrimp, god forbid, was also purchased: how dare this family celebrate?😤

Do I want all of these things? Yes. Should I have the option to get an apartment without some for less rent? Yes.

canal street is a major thoroughfare: a bridge at one end, a tunnel at the other
it’s not a country lane: commerce depends on being able to move thru this major artery
not every part of this city can become your instagram lane fantasy: it’s a national hub not just ur playground
More road space and car traffic make heat worse.
We went to Canal Street to see just how much worse it can be.
As extreme heat becomes more common, we need to act now to reduce its impact by increasing greenspace and taking away space from cars.

nonprofit wolves in sheep’s clothing
Hello,
A Virginia lawmaker is proposing a commission to study how universities take over Black neighborhoods and decimate them.
