today.

i love spring. i love sunshine and the warmth it emits onto my skin. i love long walks around and about Manhattan. i love art galleries and sunglasses. i love pockets. i love free samples [i got pizza at one joint and ice cream over a fresh baked brownie at another...seriously]. i especially love the newfound friendliness in the neighborhood.
After last night's St. Patrick's mayhem, my eight avenue/thirty street walk was quite necessary to clear my head. Two hours of free open bar time WILL leave me with a hangover--i'm not entirely invincible to the poisons.

Anyways, here's my good deed of the day:
I passed trader joe's earlier and a protest for labor rights for farmers was a-happenin'. i felt bad going inside considering i support their cause, but like i mentioned earlier, i REALLY wanted a free sample haha. So pretty much the Florida tomato harvesters get paid like shit, no health insurance, right to overtime pay, sick time etc. etc. Trader Joe's and Stop & Shop, cause they're so big, play a big role in farmer exploitation and therefore can do a lot to improve these conditions. So apparently, according to the flier i received, i can help by watching/posting this video:



and giving this letter to a manager:

and telling you people to do the same.
so yeah, our food's our fuel. respekt.
