To the tune of "Miracle" from the musical Matilda:

🎵My kitty says she's a miracle🎵

Image is a digital illustration of two psyducks (pokemon) in a kitchen. They are making pokeball shaped sugar cookies together, and one is smiling at the other. They each have a cup of tea, and there is a kettle whistling on the stove. There is a photo of the two of them together on the wall.

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

Oh, do you know them? I was just sent it out of context by a friend.

Once upon a time we had the hubris to believe The Internet Is Forever. Turns out that's not the case when the ultra-wealthy buy up everything and delete huge chunks of it wholesale to try and make room for their shitty Ai Ponzi schemes.

You can't buy drugs w SNAP, actually. Just food, and not even hot food, at that. Bizarre statement from Higgins.

SNAP Shutdown Will Leave Texas Students like Me Hungry I don’t know when this shutdown will end or when my benefits will be reinstated. But I do know we are worth more than the petty arguments of political powerhouses.

New from Miranda Williamson: "On Nov. 1, SNAP benefits will no longer be distributed. About 11.4 % (nearly 3.5M) of Texans will lose access to healthy, nutritionally complete meals. I will no longer be able to buy meat or fresh vegetables. I will lose the only reliable way I have to eat lunch."

I still can’t believe this was my home. 💔
Every stone holds a memory laughter, love, family all gone.
Now it’s just ruins,and I’m standing in what’s left of my life.
I’m only 20, but I’ve seen more pain than I can bear.
Please, a little help could bring back some warmth and hope💔

SNAP should be the most popular thing the government does

if you’re socialist, it’s the government meeting basic human needs

if you’re 20th century liberal, it’s a form of welfare that helps the poor without directly transferring wealth

if you’re conservative, it subsidizes farmers and grocers

So important to not forget both what happened + what the prevailing feelings were while it was happening: OP was hardly alone, but this kind of reflection/memory and accountability is absolutely crucial. This, much more than being right, is the sign of a trustworthy comrade and friend

People on food stamps make healthier grocery decisions than most of us Which is why we shouldn't tell them what to buy.

With SNAP on the verge of running out of money, a critical reminder that people who rely on food stamps make far healthier grocery choices than most of us do.

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

I will forever say, there are times that call for high risk activities.

But there are NEVER times that call for doing high risk activities with The New Guy, especially if The New Guy proposes them.

Post something random or you'll have an awful November.

(Have an unsettling advertisement.)

P-MORE = pee more. Subliminal advertisement for drinking water until properly hydrated. Canceled.

What Halloween Can Teach Us About Civic Life On this special holiday, strangers open their doors, kids roam the streets after dark and neighbors actually talk. Why only once a year?

I'll let my friend know :)

Nestor's education began at around age eight. During winters he went to the local school, where he excelled at math and reading. It was at school that Nestor first was exposed to the theater. He had a gift for the dramatic. Later, he joined the actors' troupe and was apparently quite fond of performing-indeed the anarchist group, the Poor Peasants Union of Huliaipole would also put on productions in the town later in Nestor's life. Nestor would sometimes play the roles of female characters, complete with dressing in their clothes and makeup. He would reprise this trick many years down the road during the Russian Civil War, in a military context, to conduct reconnaissance. That old woman cracking sunflower seeds by the Mennonite self-defense force mustering in the town square? Nestor Makhno in disguise! The young woman out for a stroll with a bright shawl over her shoul-ders, surveying Red Army supply lines or artillery positions outside of a Ukrainian town? Also Nestor Makhno!

Nestor Makhno, femboy anarchist.

Oof, that's nervous...

I was doing fine while I was playing with crafts for hours, but i put it down for a few minutes and I'm suddenly exhausted. Science cannot explain this.

I can only tell you that the license plate is on the correct vehicle, a 1999 rodeo/amigo Isuzu in green.

Can everyone get cool with communism really quickly

If y'all don't want to see unhoused people in your neighbourhood, fucking house them.

If y'all want to reduce crime, give people a viable alternative to escape systemic marginalization & access to the healthcare they need.

It's UBI or bust, kids.

Do you think they're going to freeze Medicaid next?

This is a nice kitchen; they keep it very clean! I suppose I'd deep clean before a presidential candidate came over, too. But still, my kitchen is not that clean, lol.

Humans are wired for community. We need it. When we are rejected by our community, it's so painful, like the worst kind of torture, so naturally we want to LEAVE that community. With kids and teens, their options for leaving are limited. Tell the young in your life--I want you here. No matter what.

gommunism means evacuating effectively during a hurricane instead of just abandoning your citizens to tank it
