I'm supporting Feeding America! To feed America’s hungry through food banks and engage our country in the fight to end hunger

Got tired of reading the news and getting mad. Feeding America backs 200+ food banks around the country and I've seeded with $500 for now. I'll match up to another $500 myself.

Pass the hat, RTs graciously appreciated, etc.

I decided to stop dating after my third divorce. I've never been happier. After my last divorce, I expected to get lonely, but I've never been happier. I'm not dating again; I enjoy time with loved ones, and my hobbies.

SCOTUS Gives Trump Anti-Trans Passport Victory: What to Know The court is allowing the Administration to enforce its more restrictive policy on gender ID markers pending litigation.

8 Nov 2025 -- Good explainer from TIME. Money quote from Chase Strangio: "What these Executive Orders do is open the door to sex-based policing that cannot be enforced without subjecting everyone to some sort of scrutiny & invasive process that will harm us all.” @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

@timmiller.bsky.social takes on how Fox News ran with a totally fake storyβ€”racist AI videos pretending to be real β€œBlack women”—and then quietly changed the headline instead of admitting they make a mistake.

β€œβ€¦And yet, at the same time the Department of Agriculture says it cannot spend its $6 billion in reserves to address the $8 billion needed for SNAP in November, the administration easily found $20 billion to prop up right-wing Trump ally Javier Milei in Argentina.

What are we doing here?”
