the concept of "leftover cheese" is foreign to many, but: Fromage Fort

- chop or shred leftover hard cheese
- put em in the blendy w leftover soft cheese
- add garlic, splash of wine or stock, salt, pep, 'chovies
- add a lil oil or more squishy cheese
- blend a bitch
- spread liberally on anything
IT IS TIME FOR BLUESKY RECIPE POSTING

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
i spiraled over the fascists trying to pin the kirk shooting on us fearing it could even lead to pogroms but his death is already totally out of the news cycle. important to note when things don’t turn out as bad as they could, they’re not omnipotent

Health insurance premiums are skyrocketing.

Millions are at risk of losing Medicaid.

What does Trump do? Pushes to stop states from keeping medical debt off credit reports.

Healthcare is a basic human right.

Medical debt should NOT exist.

Universal healthcare now.
Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.

Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

Can't wait to lease my Lex Luther-owned space pod and receive my Prime oxygen ration, hoping the subscription rates on air don't go up again. It's so convenient; it just pipes right into the pod. Or, you know, not.

SNAP funding runs out at the end of this month and food banks will need extra support.

If you can donate, please do so.

Consider donating some respirators too! Long lines in crowded place can lead to Covid spread. Let’s keep people fed & healthy!

SNAP assistance should be enough to cover 2000 calories a day of HEALTHY food PER PERSON. Yes I want the government to make sure everyone has wholesome, tasty, filling meals. The problem isn't that people need assistance with food, it's that the assistance is a freaking joke.

I loathe AI

Someone sent me a link to an AI music video

And it was disgustingly good

Now.

While this might sound like a reason to be pro AI

I have something to say

This is EXACTLY why we should be anti AI

Please remember that many disabled people won’t be at the No Kings rallies tomorrow.

A lot of the planned events are not accessible and/or disabled people are not safe or well enough to attend.

Anything you can do to increase accessibility and inclusion will help the resistance!

STOP GATEKEEPING PROTEST

THATS NOT HOW PROTEST WORKS

THE MORE PROTEST THE BETTER

THE MORE KINDS OF PROTEST THE BETTER

the same people screaming “do something!” also screaming “not like that!”

Y’all are shooting yourselves in the foot.
Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets?

Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.

Saw folks discussing a teacher singing the 'monkey' version of happy birthday to a Black child, she apparently sung it to all the kids. People saying, 'she's not racist, she'd only think about that if she were racist!'

My feeling is that she WOULD have thought of that if she was anti-racist >>>
