A SEAT AT THE TABLE
Today over 300 million people are food insecure – more than double the number in 2020 – due to conflict, climate change, and inflation. From nations around the world to neighborhoods in Manhattan, the global food crisis is upending years of international coordination and progress. Tactical steps are necessary across the entire food and agricultural spectrum to reverse these alarming trendlines, and we all must find new ways to partner to address both the short- and long-term impacts of the food crisis. Whether it’s the lack of productive land due to climate change, the shrinking livelihood opportunities for famers around the world, or the loss of dignity a parent experiences when struggling to provide food for their child, new approaches are required to fill these voids. Developing innovative partnerships that meet the moment we’re in is paramount to addressing the food crisis, and begs the question – who else should have a seat at the table?

Diets tend to be characterized by low consumption of core food groups, like fruits, vegetables, breads, and cereals and high consumption of sugar-sweetened soft drinks and saturated fat.
Nutrition is a critical element to maintaining both mental and physical health. The effects of poor diet compound problems that people experiencing homelessness already face: higher risk of pneumonia and hypothermia, alongside a weakened immune system which opens them to infectious diseases; vitamin deficiencies and physical symptoms such as dizziness, cracked lips, difficulty walking, and low blood pressure; organ failure; and decreased ability to heal cuts, scratches, and other injuries. Malnutrition has also been shown to negatively affect mood, causing depression, irritability, and fatigue. These symptoms lower peoples' ability to cope with life on the street, and may make it more difficult for them to access housing and services.

The SFI's history is replete with anti-student and anti-social acts and the student community will not be surprised if the SFI mounts heavy pressure on the Administration as they have done in the past to see that their goons go scot free this time also.

The moment came to me like caterpillars building castles to the roof of every tree. Up and down I seem to be, riding the waves of emotion, the tidal waves of emotion, the high crest made for a boisterous drop.
But in the crash I am released, I spew about and start again. I'm joined together more than I've ever been, merging with the broken water along with everything else--and I'm more torn apart than I've ever been. The dichotemy of bewilderment.
Maybe I'm held in uncertainty so I can sprout wings. And then I'll dance about in the light.
It seems to be the more I know pain the more I can know beauty

Use your insecurity as a plea for innocence
You'll have to forgive me
Hypnotic bright shiny teller
I walked into the propeller
It's a loose foundation
Too loose to stand sane on
Shattering Chihuly around my feet
I am fleeing
Mortarboards floating under the butterscotch eye
My interior weather: Aurora Borealis
Shattering Chihuly around my feet
I am sweeping

In this photograph I decided to use the idea I had experimented with in my 9th shoot, using a mirror to create a reflection inside the glass ball. What I like about this image is Rosie’s confrontational stance, as if to show the anger she feels when she looks in the mirror.
