Farm owner near Memphis, Texas. He says, "I'd rather have renters than tractors on my place. I oppose the tractors. It puts too many off the land. I went to my limit, more than most, and kept my renters until this year. But I got seven hundred behind on my taxes, so I need all I can get"

He wears glasses, a wide-brimmed hat, a light-colored shirt with suspenders, and dark pants held up by belt loops. The man appears to be deep in thought or perhaps feeling contemplative as he rests his elbows against the railing of the porch and clasps his hands together.
The photograph is marked "Dorothea Lange" at the top right corner, indicating that it was taken by Dorothea Lange, a well-known photographer associated with the Farm Security Administration's (FSA) photography program during the Great Depression.

How do we keep joy alive during dark times? On election night last year, I attended Democrasexy's "Carnival of Care" party, which helped ease the pain with drag queens, educational speakers, even a petting zoo.
Soon after I caught up with the founder of Democrasexy for her perspective on making #politics playful, spiritual and even... sexy.

Handelsstreit mit den USA: Sheinbaum gibt Wasser für texanische Bauern frei
Amanda Johnston is Texas’ first Black woman poet laureate. She spoke to @TexasObserver about how she’s using her platform to build something bigger — a project called Praisesongs for the People. This involves her recruiting poets from throughout the state to write poems for unsung Texas heroes. Sebastian Páramo wrote about his mother, a school lunch lady, who, he wrote, “taught me to season myself.” Mag Gabbert wrote about the oncologist treating her mother for cancer who, in Johnston’s words, “is carrying hope into each of these families' lives.”
