For your weekly posts, you may want to document parts of the food system you observe yourself—on the street, in stores, in restaurants, at markets, while moving through the city, or things you encounter online in everyday life (apps, ads, menus, delivery platforms, Google Street View imagery, social media interfaces, etc.). Your post must include a title (posts without titles cannot be viewed, commented on, or graded), and must begin with an image at the very top of the post. This image should be a photo you took yourself or a screenshot you captured. To add the image, click ➕ Add block, select Image, and upload the photo or insert it using a URL. If the image connects to an online source (for example, a website or platform), include a short clickable link below the image using linked text rather than pasting a long URL.

After the image, write one short paragraph describing what you observed and why it matters sociologically. Be sure to clearly communicate the context of the image—where it was taken, what is happening, and what drew your attention to it. When documenting people or workplaces, follow basic privacy and ethical best practices: avoid identifying individuals by name, faces, do not photograph people in vulnerable situations, and focus on spaces, practices, signs, interfaces, or patterns rather than individuals whenever possible.

End with one critical sociological question that invites discussion. Before publishing, select the relevant section tags and click Publish.
