At the food pantry I volunteer at we were absolutely swamped today and by many first timers. We ran out of whole categories of food. Please donate cash to your local organization if you at all can.

Rough math: 12.3% of Americans (41.7 mil) are about to lose SNAP. Many food banks produce 3 meals per $1, so a November worth of meals for one costs $30. Round it up to $35 for asst. costs & hygiene products. If 13% of us donate $35 each to food banks, we can get everyone through Nov! #EndHunger 🥙💪

A reminder that losing SNAP will be particularly devastating to those whose disabilities require them to have special diets. The disability tax is real. Everything costs more when you’re sick, and special diets are no exception. Boost & donate to mutual aid. People need help.

Here is a list of food pantries in Portland OR if you or someone you know in PDX is about to be affected by the snap cuts: www.foodpantries.org/ci/or-portland

@hatulimyafim.bsky.social I'm introducing you to who is also very languagy @suyang.bsky.social

If you need $$ for food, and have cashapp, let me know. I have money sitting there right now that I'm happy to share.

"What radicalized you?" WANTING PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO EAT IS NOT RADICAL!

I think this is the first day since I started tapering off my antidepressants 6.5 weeks ago that I kind of felt normal. I'm glad, because apparently it's going to take like 4 more months for withdrawal symptoms to go away.

Finally made some collars for the new dog. :)

I don't care about the White House. I don't care about the East Wing. I care that SNAP benefits are going to be cut off next week and 1/10 Americans will be struggling to put food on the table.

I just churned some London Fog ice cream. And y'all.... It might be the best ice cream I've ever had in my life.

If you're able, please consider donating to local food banks and pantries.

Some of the little free libraries in my community are temporarily changing to food pantries. I'm glad people are stepping up, but it shouldn't have to be this way.

I love love love being a librarian in a public library. However I really hate that we are increasingly becoming everything to everyone. For example, today I had to learn how to file documents in probate court...

You have ADHD, wow, you should really try Writing Things Down!

In one week, food aid is going to run out if the federal government is still shutdown. 1 in 10 Americans will not get paid they rely on in November, like SNAP. Please give to local food banks now, if you are able. Look into local groups that are providing meals and things like diapers. This is bad.

Overheard two coworkers talking in hushed tones. The older one was saying to the other in a loudish whisper: You can really get in trouble for that! I was momentarily concerned, but it turns out they're talking about Chauncey Billups...

Our head of accounting: Hey, I need to talk to you. Me, internally panicking *oh shit, did I forget to get a contract signed, an invoice issue, what????* Okay.... HoA: Do you have googly eyes? Me: Omg yes, what size do you need?

You can use this thread for a check in or accountability partner if you are also struggling to remember to use your SAD lamp.

Feeling very vindicated about something rn

I'll share Miraeze. Pup has been struggling and most of my spare money goed to Palestinians. Linktr.ee/Mireaze

1.4 Million people in Michigan use food assistance. That's 1/10! A tenth of my state will be struggling come next Saturday, while the president is busy focusing on building his $250,000,000 ballroom.

To be fair, I also had a lot of relatives with Nazi tattoos... Numbers, mostly.

More than 1 in 10 people in my state (Michigan) relay on food assistance programs to feed themselves and their families. Federal funding for programs like SNAP will (temporarily) end on November 1st. If you need help, here are some resources, if you know of others please list them here.

Having one of those afternoons when it's hard to remember why I bother doing anything when the world is falling apart around me?

Dear every fucking e-mail provider. We actually DON'T need to have a weird little pop-up Halloween game in our browsers. Signed, an annoyed librarian who has had to explain to people what the hell this is too many times today already.

I have most of a page of Casablanca fanfiction written.

I may have been bitten by the fanfiction bug. Stay tuned.

Omg. If a very short book is a "Novelette", does that make a very short smutty book a "moist novelette"?

After 2.5 years on antidepressants, I kind of forgot that an orgasm could be THAT good. OMG.

This was a class put on by a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism where we have been dealing with this shit unfortunately since day 1.

Anyone have a recommendation for a really good fine line tattoo artist in SE Michigan? Willing to travel!

The government shutdown is especially tough on men, who are losing $1.00 for every 75¢ a woman loses.

My therapist gave me a Pokemon card.

This morning it is me and my decaf tea against the world.

I've been completely off of my antidepressants for a week now. I started tapering off 6 weeks ago. I'm still dealing with brain zaps, dizziness, fatigue and brain fog. I saw a reddit thread where people said that these symptoms (coming off the same medication) lasted for SIX MONTHS.

When the first cave man drove in from the drags, Didn't know what would go with the bacon and eggs. Must had been a genius, got in his head plug the toaster in the wall, buy a bag of bread make toast...

My app claims that it is Tuesday

Haven't gotten out of bed yet. It's almost 11. I have so much to get done today and so far.... Nothing.

I've been watching reels in Hebrew. Now when I'm scrolling in the evening before bed instead of feeling terrible for wasting time on Instagram I feel like I'm practicing my language skills.

TIL that Zohran Mamdani is 33. And I feel very, very old.

I'm listening to an author talk about how she wants her books to be the light in a dark world. And I've decided that I was to write smutty stories that make people say "What the fuck is wrong with her?"
