party like it’s 2004: a middle school mixtape
Put on your best party dress (from Kohl’s, natch), your platform flip-flops, and your hair mascara. It’s time for the end-of-the-year dance, chaperoned by your gym teacher Mr. Belcher and your evil-bitch art teacher Mrs. Bjerke (sounds like beer-key but should’ve rhymed with BEE-JERK, ‘cause that’s what she was). No freak dancing allowed, kids. Sodas are $1 at the concessions table.

10,000 People with 10,000 Stories in 10,000 Hours: Connecting Over Food
Ever wonder what’s in a story? Emotions. Tragedies. Happiness. What about stories surrounding the food we eat? Many people do not realize how sharing their very own food stories can be empowering, even life-changing for others. We at People’s Grocery recognize the importance of food in our lives and have launched a national campaign: 10,000 People with 10,000 Stories in 10,000 Hours Connecting Over Food on Monday, April 23, to spread awareness about the power of food. (Twitter Hashtag: #10ThousandStories).
The campaign will strive to connect us with 10,000 individuals who wish to share their personal food stories. These stories will be captured within a 10,000 hour campaign (or 471 days).
The launch kicked off with Celebrity Chef Charles Mattocks, (aka “The Poor Chef”) telling his personal story about how food changed his life.
The purpose of the #10ThousandStories campaign is to build community through food storytelling. People’s Grocery understands that people there are food breakdowns and food breakthroughs experienced by people daily. Food Breakdowns occur when people feel disempowered or hopeless about their diet. On the contrary, Food Breakthroughs occur when food becomes a key to health, community building and fun.
Knowing this, we are issuing a call to action. We want to hear from you! We are requesting YOUR food story. Plus, we want you to invite your friends and family to share their stories with us, too. Plus, over the next 10,000 hours you’ll be able to follow people from all over the country as they share their stories with us on Twitter, Facebook and our blog. You’ll hear from people such as the People’s Grocery’s Staff and Allies, California Hotel residents, West Oakland residents, culinary establishments, restaurants, chefs, food nonprofits, friends, family, Facebook friends, Twitter followers and others
HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR STORY
We ask that you record your personal food story and post them to YouTube.com and share a link with us on Twitter (@peoplesgrocery) or Facebook (Facebook.com/peoplesgrocery). You can also email them to victoria@peoplesgrocery.org. For those who do not wish to submit a video, we also welcome written stories or if submitting via Twitter, in what else but the infamous…140 characters (be sure to include our hashtag: #10ThousandStories).
Stories can be about any personal food experience or individuals can answer one of the following questions: What is your personal food story? What does food mean to you? Describe a personal food breakdown (challenge), Describe a personal food breakthrough (positive food memories/fondness), How are you working to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to breakthrough?
Through #10ThousandStories, we will strive to give food a voice while continuing our efforts to provide food justice for all.

my body this morning, to me: fuck you
“I walked down to the third floor and in the back there was a room filled with an artist’s junk. There seems to be a room filled with an aritst’s junk in every biennial I’ve ever been to. I’m not sure why this artist’s junk was there.” —

Africans shocked by uncivilized antics of European savages -
Africans say they have little hope that Europe will ever become civilized, after a week in which Spain’s King Carlos went on an elephant-killing spree and the Swedish Culture Minister was entertained by a racially offensive cake. “You can take the European out of the jungle, but you can’t take the jungle out of the European,” sighed one resident of Kinshasa.
August Mwanasa, of Libreville in Gabon, said the latest atrocities didn’t surprise him as Europeans were still “savages”.
“I don’t want to sound racist, and some of my best friend are white, but let’s be honest: violence is hard-wired into their DNA,” said Mwanasa. “I mean, Europeans killed over 20 million other Europeans in the 1930s and 1940s. That’s barbarism on a scale unprecedented in history.”
Jenkins Odumbe, a Nairobi milliner, bemoaned ingrained attitudes of entitlement in Europe.
“If they’re not going on the dole they’re asking for bail-outs,” he said. “Why can’t they just get up earlier and work harder, that’s what I want to know?”
Liberte Aidoo, a Ghanaian travel agent, said she had been “shocked and disgusted” by what she found on her first trip to Spain.
“The brochures promise sea and sun, but they’re still incredibly backward in Spain,” she recalled. “Basically they all live in mud huts called haciendas, and they sleep for two hours in the middle of the day. In Europe they call it a ‘siesta’. In Ghana we call it ‘being fucking lazy’.”
But, she added, this kind of “depressing inertia” was to be expected in a country with more debt than most of Africa combined.
Meanwhile, most Africans have dismissed calls for Swedish Culture Minister Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth to resign following the debacle in which she was photographed eating a cake designed to look like a racist caricature of an African woman.
“The only people calling for her to resign are European liberals hiding behind a thin veneer of civilization,” explained Burundian sociologist, Descarte Tugiramahoro. “We Africans are not shocked in the slightest.
“All she’s doing is engaging in two ancient European rituals: giggling at people who look different, and symbolic cannibalism, as introduced by the Catholic Church. It’s all completely normal.”
