The pandemic has brought new attention to the demands (and inequities!) of reproductive labor. On this #LaborDay, let's fight to reorganize -- not romanticize -- the work of caring for others.

Reading a recipe for refried beans and came across this in the method: "Mash the beans to the constituency you prefer." I've always wanted my beans to be more engaged politically. #refriedforthepeople

My colleagues and I wrote this op-ed for #LabourDay. Instead of more inadequate band-aid reforms, what if migrant workers were treated like peers in Canadian agriculture? Let's use the lessons of COVID-19 to build a vibrant, equitable food system. thestar.com/opinion/contri… #cdnag

Philanthrocapitalism has long had a problem with extracting from BIPOC communities and disproportionately funding white-led orgs to do work “for” BIPOC people. As this letter astutely states, it’s time for this to change. @HEAL_Food/an-open-letter-from-bipoc-leaders-in-food-agriculture-to-food-systems-funders-9e00c1f4cb60" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@HEAL_Food/an-…

Some 1,000 racialized migrant farm workers in Ontario have been infected with COVID-19, three have died, and one farm has been shut down. These outbreaks are predictable and preventable. Had a chance to share some context on #AskCBCnews: cbc.ca/player/play/17… #CBCNN

Whoohooo!! I'm so excited about this. Get your tickets for this super fun event, and watch @PanCanCooks and I battle it out for the best potato salad for your backyard BBQs!!

The frequency of this in my life is maddening. I push back on not wanting to be a token brown face, I refuse to distort a family recipe to "make it more accessible", or I ask for clarification on the anti-discrimination policy, and white women cry. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

"How did we reach the point where the people fuelling Canada's food system are both the most precarious and the lowest paid?" I had a chance to share some thoughts in this excellent piece by @franky_says on migrant farmworker programs: buff.ly/2V9DRmv via @maisonneuvemag

What a fantastic Friday evening with my food studies buddies @LisaHaushofer @KobySongNichols @drg1949 @JeffreyPilcher5 and @CulinariaUTSC watching Cook Off on Netflix, the first Zimbabwean movie on the platform.

The thing is, moments like this break down the dam that we've all had inside separating us from the reservoir of pain and anger that a lifetime of racism has built.
