As a kid I attended Lindbergh Elementary in Lynwood, California. At school, kindergarten, the teacher would spe

In particular, low-income urban communities have been the worst when it comes to food security. Even with all the global food industries producing food at a ridiculous rate, cities (especially ones with a high minority rate) suffer constantly to obtain food, and have little or no access to fresh, healthy food. A growing solution to the problem is act

THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE::: H.P. Lovecraft West of Arkham the hills rise wild, and there are valleys with deep woods that no axe has ever cut. There are dark narrow glens where the trees slope fantastically, and where thin brooklets trickle without ever having caught the glint of sunlight. On the gentle slopes there are farms, ancient and rocky, with squat, moss-coated cottages brooding eternally over old New England secrets in the lee of great ledges; but these are all vacant now, the wide chimneys crumbling and the shingled sides bulging perilously beneath low gamb
