My dog loves water but hates being wet.
Gallops with glee into the rain. Flops happily into puddles. Races into streams.
Then immediately gets upset when the water seeps through her fur and touches her skin.
Girl I’m sorry, the water-wetness correlation is truly causation I’m afraid.

What did people do before SNAP?”
They died.
Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival.
They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore
The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.
A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.
I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities?
Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children?
And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?

Not to be THAT dictionary, but…
It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

These are scary times, and it’s okay to feel afraid. The challenge is learning how to respond instead of retreating. This piece offers insight into managing that fear and transforming it into courage, understanding, and tangible steps forward.

It's the little details that make it work. Putting her hair to the one side to make it appear like it was falling down really sold this illusion, doing a lot of the heavy lifting for the "shadow" -- which looks more like what it is, some fabric.

Hey, hey, remember the days when there were lots of little forums, and they lasted until the owner had a public meltdown or just packed it in?
We call them social media platforms now, and the scale and duration got longer, but the dynamic lives on.
Props to Tom from MySpace for know how to go out.
