   New video is liiiiiiive youtu.be/B3bBvPXPCyg

   I did a thread on Bluesky a week or two ago about "how to work when it's hot & humid & not die" and people liked it. So I made a video.

   With bonus info on how Heat Stroke Is Political!

     Since farming in the US is kind of an upper-class pursuit at this point, you'd be amazed how many farmers.......don't really understand working in the heat that well.

     Which makes it hard to supervise a crew responsibly! 🙃

     Which makes worker protection laws REAL IMPORTANT!

     Heat is in the news bc a lot of places are getting Heat Stroke Weather, that don't usually have that!

     But did you know: farm workers have been dealing with Heat Stroke Weather forever.

     That's how food gets to your table! No matter where you live! And it'll still be, after heat is out of the news!

     Which means! Farm workers know a LOT about dealing with the heat.

     We have tips for you!

     And, heat waves are a good chance to get informed on what farm workers are dealing with, and how we can keep them from getting heat stroke on the job.
