Making gumbo- gotta butter this man up before I ask him to go in the attic and get eleventy billion boxes down.

Unrelated to the state of the world…. I’m down to 227 and in a size 16 from 317/24!!!!!!

In Mississippi, where 13% of the population relies on SNAP food assistance, all SNAP benefits will be halted on Nov. 1 due to the government shutdown. The Mississippi Department of Human Services announced the pause today. @heatherharrison.bsky.social reports:

Someone please write story about how the local churches are preparing for SNAP benefits to be cut off next month…. And can I come to the evangelical baptists churches interview? You can duct tape my mouth shut,

If you aren't talking about poor folks at all, you need to fix that. I am talking about folks who can't work at all or don't make enough to survive. You need to talk directly to them and not with a catch-all phrase.

Some folks aren't getting SNAP benefits next month from what I hear because of the government shutdown. Here she is getting 2 jets at our expense.

One day we’ve got to have a talk about why grown women in the south dress like four-year-old girls in little frilly dresses

Manifesting fall so hard I’m making Turkey and dressing.

Someone is stealing SNAP benefits from recipients. My 80 year old uncle just got all of his stolen. He has no food and they stole his SNAP.

Is it safe to take the duct tape off my mouth yet?

Ok so now I can get on here even with my wifi connected…

Can’t find out nothin fast in the news anymore- who got shot in Brandon? Something happens in Jxn and they gotta talk but when it hits home they clam up FAST.

Tonight has a very “warm night in December” vibe

Some of you white people have failed to understand; it is not Black against white, it’s Blacks against racism. Take all the time you need with this………

As much as I want that cretin gone- as the caregiver for my 86 yo grandmother- that bruise is just that- a bruise. It could be a routine blood draw, could be IV- he’s OLD. He bruises like an old person.

So we’re back?

Stressed out and the neighbors are having multiple trees cut down. I AM SO OVERSTIMULATED RIGHT NOW. OH MY GOD.

I need T1D/DOC help. My 17yo has developed an allergy to fast acting insulin. Novolog, Aspart, Fiasp, Humalog, even Aprida- cause itchy/ redness followed by a hard , painful nodule about half dollar size under the skin that last days. Tresiba is NOT causing us issues. DKA is tho.

Did any of the MS ACLU peeps come over here from the bird app? @jarvisdortch.bsky.social

Oh dear god what have I gotten myself into- how do we coordinate feeding a football team of 80 with only 8 adults?? Someone tell me how this works.

White people as a whole are pretty much trash. We REFUSE to even acknowledge the damage our ancestors inflicted or that it has given us advantages to this day. The ENTIRE defensive vibe present when discussing race is bc white people can’t just accept that WE hurt people for our own gain.

Hinds/Rankin/Madison County pals, my friends are in charge of a women’s sober living home that just opened some new apartments. They’ll be driving all over tomorrow picking up donations, so if you have any of the following to spare, let me know and I’ll put you in touch:

Y’all I am just obsessed with these damn Chobani flips.

Downside to weight loss- realizing you have nothing but t shirts, leggings and Nike shorts that fit for your anniversary dinner.

Omg why is it 90° in Belk

these are crimes and the US is complicit if not responsible

Over achiever gene kicked in and the yard work kicked my butt. I’m pretty sure whatever a professional pressure washer charges is worth every penny. Patio looks much better though.

@lesleyzeelesley.bsky.social you see this yet? apnews.com/article/texa...

So how are the tariffs working if a friend in CA wants to ship my kid a gift?

😂😂😂 why do men lie? Don’t they realize ev.er.y.thing is on the internet?

Y’all wanna see my weight loss progress?!? Warning- chunky middle aged mom below… 😂

@pearlriverflow.com @lesleyzeelesley.bsky.social do either of y’all know an arborist who can tell me what tree’s are so unhealthy they need to go

“Vance was half right. Trump isn’t focused entirely on cutting taxes for the wealthy. He’s also focused on gutting Medicaid and taking away health care from millions of Americans.”

Get his ass, Lib!

Boudin eggroll? Sure why not!

🎯

What Republicans in Congress just did is give Trump all the infrastructure he needs for a mass, nationwide ethnic cleansing campaign complete with funding to build all the concentration camps he'll need. And if you think it's just undocumented immigrants who will wind up in them, you're very naive.

Those camps will be filled with Latinos, and the slavery aspect is toward them. Next, they will come after current prisoners. Before you know it, you have Black and Brown people enslaved. We have arrived. Happy birthday, America.

😂😂😂 a lesson on not being nosy. Don’t read your deceased nephews love letters from his wife. It’s none of your business. And you might find out WAYYY MORE than you ever wanted. 😂😂😂😂

Wow.

Jesus H Christ- my mother just called me fucking hysterical bc her drunk ass just saw the news. I had to sound like a Republican to calm her down. Fucking a dude,

Dared to email the MSLEG asking for help for some kids. One moron ran his mouth and we went viral.

We're suing.

I didn’t mean to give up socials but I’ve been so damn busy I barely have time to sit and scroll. We got the nana moved. Still have some unpacking to do tho- she has too much stuff. I’m down 57lbs- yay me. And I need a swimming pool to jump into bc OMG it’s HOT

Where are my cast iron aficionados? I found some old skillets and a a Dutch oven- before I donate them I want to make sure they’re not worth keeping!

Does every school district in MS require residency annually? Or just ours?

Whole massacres occurred because of that fear and lies. To this day, the results are felt.
