And when my white friends who do use or have used SNAP call out their conservative friends and relations, the response is always "Obviously I don't mean you. You really need it. You're working hard."

Poster reads "Tea and Puzzles, cozy club" hand written in black ink, decorated with cut out puzzle pieces showing a colored pencil drawing of a cup of tea and a plate of cookies. Identifying details at the bottom are covered with a slip of paper.

Listen, am I good at art? No.

Does it stop me from doing stuff occasionally? Also no.

Poster for my Middle school tea and puzzles club, inspired by a post I saw here a while back and can't find.

On this day in 1864, Maryland’s new constitution freed African American slaves within our state. Today, we celebrate the heroes that resisted oppression and risked their lives bravely against the institution of slavery.

A basket of candy sits on a porch supervised by a pair of witchy Edwardian pumps.

A Golden Retriever wearing a cone of shame sits on a cushy dog bed on a concrete porch.

Candy stash and candy-distribution assistant.

Two truths of Trick-or-treating:

1. If they show up at my door they get candy. I don't care if they're seven, seventeen, or seventy.

2. Left Twix is the superior Twix.

Printing this out to put on my classroom wall. This is exactly what I try to explain to my students every time I ask them to draw a model of what we're doing.

That's ominous.

I'm pretty sure Clay Higgins hasn't purchased his own groceries in decades, if ever. Someone should send him shopping on a SNAP budget.

She has printables available for the meals that include the ingredients & prep instructions.

This link also includes a PDF for 4 dinners for $20, if you want to make a bag for a larger household. drive.google.com/drive/mobile...

Day 30 of President Trump’s Federal Government Shutdown:

In response to the President’s illegal refusal to deploy emergency federal funding to keep food assistance running, I am declaring a State of Emergency.

We will surge $10 million to food banks and food bank partners across the state.

Billie Eilish to Billionaires: "Why Are You a Billionaire?" And yes, Mark Zuckerberg was in the room.

And yes, Mark Zuckerberg was in the room.

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

Two praying mantis egg cases on twigs, stuffed into a Marie Callender frozen food box to keep them upright.

A student brought me praying mantis egg cases, and a small aquarium to house them. Anybody know what I'm supposed to do with them? #entomology #science #edusky #gardening. (Using all the hashtags because my little account has no reach.)

Here come the Bell Riots. #DS9 #StarTrek

Thank you for sharing this. I'm going to share these graphics with my middle schoolers when we do our unit on Kelp forests.

Y'all, there is NO good dirt on Mamdani. If there were good dirt they wouldn't need to do this. I promise you they have looked and they can't find anything and it is killing them.

A large bowl of creamy squash soup, beautifully orange, sprinkled with green pumpkin seeds and drizzled with cream.

The completed soup, vegetarian (vegan if you use coconut cream), a bit of heat, a lot of good for you.

Only if teachers are willing to overlook the intellectual property theft and environmental damage inherent in AI use.

In the darkness we light a candle. Here is mine. I will match every donation to Capital Area Food Bank www.capitalareafoodbank.org up to a total of $1000. I'll keep a total here in the thread with my receipts. If you can't give, please consider reposting.

We don't even need Obama to announce. We just enough of the right people to talk about like it's real.

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

Rice cookers are great in dorms and other limited kitchen situations. You can make a lot of things in them.

A large baking sheet with two acorn squash, halved; two red peppers, halved and seeds removed; one red onion, quartered; two heads of garlic, beheaded; four tomatoes, quartered; one jalapeno, halfed. All the vegetables have been tossed with oil and salt.

When things are rough, making soup helps.

There are so many choices. There are tattoo artists who cover Nazi and gang tats for free. Tattoo removal exists. Makeup that covers tattoos exists. You could just choose not to go shirtless in public. It's not "youthful indiscretion" if you're still walking around that way twenty years later.

Each and every one of those guys would punch his wife in the face and then blame her for being hysterical.

I'm a "vote blue no matter who" voter in this climate, but that doesn't apply here. It's the Dem primary. They're all claiming to be blue. This is just where the local Dems decide which blue will represent them. We're allowed to have standards.

Saying that someone doesn’t deserve to be a senator isn’t canceling them, that is the public opinion candidates are subject to in a democracy.

That color! I swoon.
