Monday's book of the day is:
#farmworkers #farmwork #FarmworkerJustice

I made the mistake of saying I wasn't proficient at the art form I posted previously and weirdly people took that as an opportunity to dump unsolicited personal opinions. In 10 years of facilitating drawing sessions, I've never witnessed anyone doing that to someone else in person. Probably because it's more obviously inappropriate when the other person is clearly a real human standing in front of you. Also possibly because there's a facilitator present.

Anyway, #mowing pic.

@paulligas It's an amazing and important work, I am impressed by how sensitively the people have been portrayed. It also shows so much about the #culturalHeritage behind the #farmwork and the connections to the #SeasonalFarmWorkers. How much Brexit destroys #history and #traditions! #beer #brewery #hop

And here is a blogpost building on the article, sketching the out the argument how the structures enabling exploitation of seasonal migrant farmworkers are crafted by law & regulation. It also reflects on emerging solidarities in the 1st two pandemic years and recent fading media presence of the topic of #seasonal #migrant #farmwork. There have been only a few reports on migrant farmwork this summer.
