You can't just simply "trick" people with food aversions, because once they figure it out (yes, sometimes it takes more than 1 bite to do so) you have just burned a bridge when it comes to trust and to food. They might not ever trust you to feed them again.

I fucking hate Fetterman, too, but he isn't a fucking conservative who supports white supremacists because he's depressed and had a stroke. Fuck off. Stop scapegoating illness and disability and directly blame the ideologies these people have and have had. You were duped. Own it.

Protesters lay outside the #COP30 climate summit in Brazil covered in white sheets, to call attention to the deaths of activists and journalists killed while "defending land, territories and natural resources."

Fuck Harper Collins, don't buy books from them, they publish Prager U books. Also, don't work with them. They support Nazis, White Supremacists and their commitment to spreading propaganda and lies. This is inexcusable, far more is needed than an apology or "oops!" note.

What in the fuck

Just because ICE hasn't shot someone dead in the streets doesn't mean 1) ICE hasn't had a death toll since it's beginnings 2) there haven't been deaths post-kidnapping. Stop being ignorant. "A miracle nobody has died yet" - are you fucking serious?!?!

Lord have mercy the Supreme Court is hearing oral argument rn in an appeal from a case I wrote about last year it's undisputed that Damon Landor suffered a *brazen* violation of his legal rights, yet the GOP justices sound skeptical that he can actually sue the prison guards who violated his rights

We cannot let “haunted ICE agent regretfully explores his feelings/past/guilt” become a genre the way we did with every bad actor since the Confederates.

I think a lot of the neurodivergent experience is being punished for asking questions so we instead decide to infer meanings and intentions and patterns based on context and cues, but because we're neurotypical, that process is extremely prone to error. so we get punished for it anyway later.

Anyone who tells anyone to "pull up their big girl panties" can immediately be dismissed. Never need to hear another word out of their mouth, it will never be of value. This is the type of gross, charged condescension I see from establishment Dem supporters every day.

✨ It's always a good time to listen to some Labi Siffre ✨

I work at a soup kitchen, if, during this tough time when SNAP is not available, you need food. Please don't feel weird coming to us. We do not ask questions and understand everyone is having a hard time. We are here to help. The food is hot and fresh and we all come in early to help everyone.

Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

I think a rule for any media sharing app that is creator-driven or uses the content from their users should be that they have to allow those who haven't downloaded the app to view something someone shares on that app. Every time it happens, I want to download those apps even less.

At this point when he smiles it can only be taken as a threat.

The emerging deal will be that Democrats get fuck all and then go on thanksgiving break while 41.7 million people slip into food insecurity. Fucking hell

This interview is so delightful oh my God

Please help Odai!

She gave the Bills $600M in state money for the new stadium

A common refrain from evangelicals is “if we start helping people, where does it end?” It ends when there’s no more need. Feels pretty simple. That only sounds like a problem for people who are intent on hoarding resources.

Girl Scouts in a Chicago Suburb hosted a food drive. But the girls encountered masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with weapons. "ICE turned it into a scary and what felt like an unsafe environment for us to be out with these kids" chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

I genuinely hate the trend of "female" being used in the place of "woman" that's happening everywhere. It's not a reclamation thing. It's being said by cis people and usually about cis women. About two fucking seconds ago "female" is a misogynistic, transphobic dog whistle.

And don't run defense for them by claiming they're gonna make a calculated retreat to regroup and hit harder. They don't have the trust or the record to have that be the reality. They retreat and then stay gone from the fight. Then they whine and point fingers at anyone but themselves.

Oh for the love of Sharing, since I just googled these so I could leave angry voicemails telling these motherfuckers to hold the line Schumer's DC office number: 202-224-6542 Gillibrand's DC office number: (202) 224-4451

Shutting it down for the night with this post from a comrade in Chicago: 🎶"I wish I could give you this feeling. I wish I could give you this feeling."🎶

A few weeks ago I zoomed with a group of high school students and their adult mentor to discuss taking social action. I am thrilled to report that this group of 10 students raised $10,000 in two weeks to support their local food pantry. They sent me a photo and it has them all jumping and I tear up.

It was liberation theology priests in Latin America that let me let go of my anger at Christianity after my apostasy - that let me see that there were people who followed the example of the Christ I still respected, even if I did not call him God. I'm always glad to see the tradition maintained.

Remember this one?

A heads-up: People "know that disabled people cant do this/aren't included, so we don't have to address them, it's a waste of time and conceding the argument" is such a fucking weak thing to assert. And they don't see it's ableist.

There’s a young southern woman on tt doing an experiment: calling churches & asking if they can help her get baby formula, saying she can’t afford it. Of the 30+ she’s called, nearly every church has said no. The ones who said yes were: Black Baptist Churches A Mosque A small Appalachian church

Wha--give her the crown. and an engagement ring while we're at it bc I love her

Every time a tech entrepreneur says “we don’t need to stop global warming because AI will” I want to slap them with a fish that says, “if a superhuman intelligence came into being and we asked it how to stop global warming, it would say ‘stop burning fossil fuels, you fools.’”

This is so important.

actually demonic.

Cornell agreed to pay $30m, hand over admissions data with demographic breakdowns, produce annual "campus climate" surveys to check on antisemitism and changes "since October of 2023," and—here's the dumbest part they agreed to—that the govt can open new investigations whenever it wants. Appeasers.

For folks who don't know this intimately - ADHD is tied to hyperactive dopamine reuptake. Our brains make plenty of dopamine, but they also recycle it faster than we can use it - like a busboy taking away your plate at a restaurant after you only had the first bite. Dopamine regulates EVERYTHING.

I got laid off, I utilized SNAP, and I was able to remain in my chosen field of profession. The program is incredibly effective in mitigating the effects of unemployment, and that’s precisely why they want to gut it.

Today's hoofprint bayposting efforts are an introduction of our team and project on the girlgamer subreddit 🥰 old.reddit.com/r/GirlGamers...

The US used to murder Black folks for knowing how to read. White folks made post cards from picnics around hung bodies. Forced sterilization of women was a sanctioned program in the US. The US is multiple atrocities stitched together. What’s happening today is mild in comparison to history

For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

Flight attendants are on tiktok urging people not to fly during the shutdown, citing under-reported issues and massive delays. If you do choose to fly, please bring gift cards (under $25 per regulations) for TSA and flight attendants. The impact of this will last for months.

I'm not linking to that NYT piece today, but of all the horrible parts of it, this was the worst. This was an explanation of "female vices" in the workplace and LET ME JUST TELL YOU...

My buddy picked up a spare kid - a friend of his own son. Said kid lives with his dad, a single parent on disability after a near fatal car crash. Last night Kid was at my buddy's for dinner and asked, "Can you pack me some spaghetti to go? My dad's been starving himself to make sure I eat."

MY HEPATIC FUNCTION LABS CAME BACK LOOKING FANTASTIC!!! YAY!!! It's really great that all I had to do was change what I ate. Yeah, I still am figuring out how to eat enough calories, but I'm not losing weight super fast anymore and I'm fairly sure I'm getting enough nutrients.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

At some doctors offices I'm still in the system with my full/dead name, so even at the ones where I am correctly named I still reflexively say my dead name when checking in about half the time. It sucks every damn time.
