Finished reading @sarahgailey.bsky.social's Have You Eaten and I've never been closer to crawling back to my lesbian book club. I imagine it'll pass eventually but right now, unless someone is paying me, I only want to be around queer/trans people for the rest of my born days.
@sarahkendzior.bsky.social Welcome back! Or, Sorry for the return of this horrid plague! depending on the discourse of the hour.

50 years ago today, Nov. 10, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank beneath the waves of Lake Superior during a massive storm.
The sinking took the lives of all 29 men on the ship, and became immortalized in Gordon Lightfoot's song.
This is the story of this terrible tragedy.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Stopped into @steveshotdogs.bsky.social on South Grand for chili cheese fries and a fella in a black trench coat was shredding a keytar solo on the corner. Someone wrote NEVER CHANGE in South Grand's yearbook in 1984 and South Grand is still taking it very seriously.
