There's a great piece out this week on Scalawag that tells the story of two farmers in Mississippi who are trying to keep alive that tradition of the old farmer coops https://scalawagmagazine.org/2022/08/black-farms-in-mississippi/

"You are allowed to mutter something about how all White things merge into one and eventually flow into Burning Man." Hilarious line that I didn't know I needed to explain Many Things!

What a fantastic post. Last week I was in a totally different town and ran into someone I'm on a bike/pedestrian committee with and he's now running for office, and we talked a bit about how people think a little bike/ped committee is low-key and, I dunno, just does bike to school days, but in reality it's filled with the tension of participatory democracy and you learn *so much* about how to get things done and also how things fail just by being involved with something like that.
