Years ago, before my book published, I was invited to the Sante Fe Literary Festival as a guest. It was a really busy time, so I had no idea which other authors would be in attendance. My husband and I walked into the green room, and seated in front of me were Margaret Atwood and George R.R. Martin.

Pretty much everyone is way closer to needing SNAP than being a billionaire so let’s all take a moment to remember who the enemy is here

this is account is my new favorite follow. it honestly just gives me a little moment of happiness with each post.

went tonight looking at high school program’s for E and possibly found one for A…told A we’d definitely go to the open house next year…if anything, we’d get to eat some more excellent Culinary Arts classes appetizers…

If you have home plate seats at the World Series and they catch your ass dinking around on your phone back there a big claw game thing should come down and pluck you up and out by the head.

Its so hard to understand the scope and scale of the Federal attack on Chicago, led by ICE and CBP.

I put this map and table together, highlighting the most significant incidents from 9/19-10/25. The area shown is roughly 30 by 35 miles with incidents in all corners.

Headline: Butthurt Trump Tries Playing Hardball With Putin: I'm Not Wasting My Time'

Headline: Trump, 79, Flashes Cankles at Summit With Asian Leaders

Headline: Trump, 79, Posts Deranged Medical Advice at 4 a.m.

I hope the next president awards the Presidential Medal of Freedom to the Daily Beast’s headline/editing staff.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

if Gary Oldman doesn’t win an emmy for episode three of this season of slow horses…i think we can officially declare that there is no justice in this world

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.”

That’s $500 million lost per day

this douchebag doesn’t have one original thought

JFC

This map says a lot of MAGA folks about to be hungry.

Getting that horrible feeling of dread the day before the climate crisis becomes a humanitarian crisis in Jamaica. 💔

I honestly put my phone down while watching The Diplomat because Kerri Russell conveys so much emotion with her silent actions. It’s mesmerizing & enhances my enjoyment of the show 💯.

made my children purge their closets yesterday…between clothing outgrown & clothing they don’t like, they all have bare bones closets. BUT NO ONE IS WILLING TO GO TO THE STORE AND TRY ON CLOTHING!

Trump Administration Live Updates: Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

Culture Crave @CultureCrave X.com Stellan Skarsgärd on his worldviews "My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: 'Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody's worth less.' It is an egalitarian view that I've carried around in my life. That's why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it" "In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It's not. It's only freedom to exploit people" (via @vulture)

VULTURE Vulture # @vulture Stellan Skarsgärd on why he protested for Palestine "right after" October 7: "The thing was that you knew what was going to happen. Because since 1948, they've been doing the same thing. If the Palestinians kill one, they'll kill ten. Plus they'll bulldoze the home of the family and friends ….. Every night, I think about it. Every night." - Stellan Skarsgärd, on why he protested for Palestine "right after" October 7

Good grief why is Stellan Skarsgård cooking so hard?

and everyone heaved a huge sigh of who the fuck cares

Me: If you don’t get your shit together, your english teacher won’t recommend you for AP English next year.
L: Ugh. You’re right. And, I really want to take AP English.

Posted by Block Club Chicago: "Cycling x Solidarity's latest mutual aid effort takes cyclists on group rides through Pilsen and other neighborhoods to buy out tamale vendors so they can stay home as ICE swarm the city. They pass out to food to people in need."

Forgive me, Chicago, I was not aware of your game

maybe if they served breakfast all day i wouldn’t dislike it so much.

does anyone else remember when panera was a solid lunch/dinner choice? am i showing my age?
