Watermelon tastes amazing this summer. It was 92° when these Kern County farm workers were harvesting the melons this day. An average melon weighs 20 lbs. Workers toss them to each other as they put them in the trailer. #WeFeedYou

So much gratitude for her hard work and the laws that protect her and workers like her. Thank you.
So embarrassing. Heather Cox Richardson recently had an interesting discussion about this gildification and the history of the design and what it all means. www.youtube.com/live/D9A-7kw...
Yay!
Our hearts are heavy for the grieving family of Jaime Alanis, who died from injuries sustained during a chaotic raid on Thursday. We will do everything we can to support them. We continue to work with the hundreds of farm worker families navigating the aftermath of this violent raid.
Thanks for this, watching now and really great so far.
Our species, overall general population, wants what it wants. We justify things that are inconvenient truths because we don't want to admit we need to make a change. Maddening and deeply depressing.
Yep, along with Ben Bradlee. Journalism has taken quite a turn this past decade.
ahh ok I see a differentiation in the back right foot. She's in the clear!
That is wild, I need to see the back paws of your cat or the front paws of the bodega cat to make a proper conclusion.😄
It is so deeply painful to say goodbye to our loyal companions. I'm so sorry.
Vengeance in a suit, says it all so succinctly. And bolstered by other aggrieved privileged egoists.
There are a lot of bad things happening all at once, and it’s overwhelming to think about how to meet moments like this. Jean says to focus on 1 or 2 things that you care about, understand fairly well, and are either local or involve a topic where you’re likely to have influence and find community
Perfection. I'm pretending like I'm ok but I'm not ok! 😭 Warmest wishes and we'll be watching for you.
Gorgeous sound. I'm soaking up this last hour Julian!🙌
My god yes. Takes me to places I want to stay in forever.
Ha yes, right as I posted that you played that piece. So good. Thank you!!
This is a weird question, you've occasionally played music that sounds to me like middle eastern "whirling dervish" type sound, kind of trance-like, if that makes sense. If I wanted to search for this sound, how would I do so? 😊 I love music from cultures steeped in ancient instruments, traditions.
You deserve ALL the flowers for the excellent curation of the Sleepy Hollow Sunday mornings, bringing us along on an auditory ride that never ceases to touch the soul. Wishing you much goodness in your next adventure.💫🦉
Emmy and new foster Pippa are loving your set this morning. It has truly been a pleasure to bask in your music selections on XPN. We all wish you the very best!
Dear Julian, your deep knowledge of music and creative playlists have brightened our weekend mornings, introducing new artists and honoring old musicians. I'm a huge fan of yours, hope you'll continue to have a voice on the airwaves, in the venues. Wishing you magic in all of your endeavors.💚 💫
Such a beautiful array of music today Julian. Soaking up the gentle vibes. 🐚 Wishing you a peaceful day.
Your show has been my ONE must-see since you first started at the 7 pm timeslot. I'm beyond upset about this but I have faith that you'll land somewhere where her brilliant skills continue to shine light on this confusing time in our country. You are appreciated and needed more than you know.💕💚
Well said. I'm beyond upset about this but I have faith that she will find herself somewhere where her brilliant skills continue to shine light on this confusing time in our country.
I think it's both and *rump admires and aspires to emulate the thugish maneuvers of Putin.
Thank you to everyone who has joined the resistance! Our ranks grow stronger every day.
G'morning 👋🦉
love this music 💙
Adore this song, a moving winter classic. This album by Lindisfarne has always been one of my top anchor albums. Great set as usual this morning Julian. 😀💙❄️
Totally relate. I tried to stay off media yesterday, just getting summaries but it was all too fucking crazy-making.
So true💕
She is a dreamboat, truly one of the sweetest dogs ever. Scratches being applied!
Here's our new(ish) family member Emmylou, she seems to enjoy Sleepy Hollow as much as we do 🏵️
Amen! The best, most intriguing, lovingly curated music show.
Aww he/she is a beauty, great picture. 😀
What a delightful rendition of Blackbird. So fun this morning thanks for the great music!
Good morning Julian, amazing music as always. We were just saying we wish you were on every morning... Spotify play lists just don't cut it. (p.s. I'm Adele, your devoted fan from Kennett Square😀)
SoCal friends: Many animal shelters are overwhelmed from people dropping off beloved pets they can't take with them as they flee. Please consider donating and fostering. Pasadena Humane is one such org. Contact your local animal orgs to see if they need help. pasadenahumane.org/eaton-canyon...
She says the important part so clearly. She's careful to lay out for the reactionaries that she's not glorifying that one act of violence but emphasizes that the US public experiences health care (and other social) inequities as acts of violence. We are collectively pissed for a damn good reason.
He looks like my ex which compounds the revulsion.
I'm withering under his stare.😅
Ok this made me tear up. He's definitely not alone on the other side, he's running free and knowing he is loved always.
Such a loss, run free handsome boy.
🤣
So fun! 😀
He's quite the little communicator. 😍
I'm gonna do this!💚

The world’s richest 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% put together, according to Oxfam. There is no moral justification for this extraordinary level of inequality. It's distorting politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.
This work is incredible
Yes this. This day especially has always made me sad for many reasons. We must evolve into kindness for all sentient beings.
Sounds so delicious and pretty to boot!
the Sidecar used to be one of my favorite cocktails - will give this a try for sure.
Yesss!
Yes, so refreshing.
Amen. I bring a couple with me when I go places (if possible) and am surprised they aren't standard fare at parties, etc.
Seeing lots of talk about needing to build leftwing media. If you're not familiar with @stephaniemiller.bsky.social, cannot recommend enough. Funny, irreverent, great guests. Lots of ways to listen (Sirius XM, FSTV, OTA stations, WCPT online, podcast, etc.). signalpress.blogspot.com/2024/11/step...
Increased park visitation brings challenges. Between 2012–22, staffing dropped 13% as visitation grew 10%. High living costs & funding shortfalls force painful cuts. Climate disasters, like Death Valley floods & wildfires, are worsening. (4/7)

So what do we do now We fight that's what we do We stand tall and do the right thing Fight for those who can't fight for themselves All the critters who live on our last few little islands of pristine land. We fight for them And for future generations All of them Follow us at @altyellonatpark.org

NEW: The great Trump-Musk crackdown is coming. And it will hit hard & fast. Journalists will be first. But everyone else is next. I urge you to read my 20 lessons in How to Survive the Broligarchy, inspired by & featuring the great @timothysnyder.bsky.social 1/ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
This is an amazing small rescue on the front lines that swoops in and saves the most needy (and wonderful) dogs on death row. Happy to support them.
I'm in Chester County too and have several bird baths for all the critters, fill it everyday with clean water. We live in the woods and have every kind of woodpecker, songbird, a couple of owls & this morning a wild turkey made an appearance! Wish I had a decent camera, your pics are fantastic.
What a beauty and love the decorations 😍

Agree 💯
Sooo delighted to see you here dear Tucker! (We were A. Jenkins at the other place.)
Sooo delighted to see you here! 😍
My heart is with these workers, and they have my admiration and gratitude as well.
I support you! I'm kicking my cable news, sugar/snack habit. We can do it.

the trump campaign was literally bought and paid for by the wealthiest people on the planet — openly! — and dim-witted pundits are going on about how voters are tired of "elitist democrats"
So happy to see y'all here. We'll keep the good vibes going one way or another.
Those warm snuggles and outstretched paws are giving me life right now. So happy you're posting here.
Pants is very serious about you so needing to eat, hydrate, and take your meds. Today is extra hard, so do it for Pants, if nothing else.
Hopepunk is the opposite of grimdark. Finding hope in the darkness is a radical, rebellious, beautiful, terrifying act--and is necessary to fight on.
Adding to this, you can require it in the settings to remind yourself to add alt texts.
I bet that felt good. I want to as well but it will be hard to leave some of the amazing good people who have built important accounts for their good work (rescues, sanctuaries, feel-good animal accounts, devoted defenders of democracy and human rights, etc...)

Quite simply, I thank you from the bottom of my creative heart. This is just what I needed and is incredibly smart.
