The Lead Paint Theory of Anti Gentrification holds that activists can prevent displacement and preserve housing affordability by preserving neighborhood disamenities and blocking investment in quality of life improvements like parks, bike lanes, and libraries. It does not work.
I feel this 😭 USCBP made my late mother-in-law throw out a big bag of dried za'atar she made from scratch. No regulation violated, just — lady you're Arab and I don't know what this is, if you want to enter, throw it away. If you've ever had homemade za'atar you know why this still upsets me.

One reason i think everyone should take an archaeology class is to internalise with tangible examples that there is no pure, natural past utopia and that antibiotics and vaccines are what stand between us and a 50% child mortality rate and scores of women dying needlessly during pregn and birth
