The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

Hey artists, let's share some helpful things in the community :) 🎨 What's one tip or trick you would give a new artist in your chosen medium? (Or just in general!)

For the love of god. Artists. PLEASE sign your work. I hate finding beautiful art with no signatures or watermarks, nothing. I don't care if other people might think it looks "ugly", you made it. Own it. It's your work and I want to be able to find you when I see it. *table flips*

There is someone who stops scrolling to look at your art. There is someone who shares your art with other people. There is someone who keeps a memory of your art. There is someone who cares.
