Remember that while food banks welcome donations of food, they prefer $$$$$$$. They have deals with grocery stores and suppliers. You can only buy one dollar's worth of food for one dollar, but they can buy several dollars' worth. So don't, like, buy food to donate it, just give 'em the dough.

I ain't never seen anyone steal food either.
Remember, as SNAP is about to end, the standing rule remains firm:
If you see someone stealing diapers or formula no you didn't.

A subject near and dear to my heart. This man speaks the truth.
I wrote a very in depth look at what a Carolina-style burger is and what it isn't. I created a map to help you find a great example and then I shared strategies and tactics to make your own all-the-way burger at home. Click through to get hungry and learn more.

Confused writing is usually a symptom of confused thinking. As we struggle to clarify writing, we clarify our thoughts. AI writing aids rob us of that struggle, leaving clean-looking text and thoughts still confused for lack of inspection. Writing is not just a product; it is a diagnostic tool.

Your Labor Day reminder that if the minimum wage increased at the rate of inflation & productivity since 1960 it'd be $28 today—not $7.25. Meaning—billionaires & corps have stolen at least $21/hour from working Americans for 60 years.
We don't suffer a lack of resources—but from an excess of greed.

unless someone specifically asks for advice it is actually pretty rude to offer it unsolicited, especially when the “advice” is basic “how to live your life as an adult” stuff

It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday
The unholy thing shambles in
He’s too big for the chair sitting next to me
And he makes an unbearable din
Sing us a song, you’re the piano man
Your skin is a wooden facade
You’ve brass pedals for hands
And your hair’s copper strands
Give unbearable insult to god
The unholy thing shambles in
He’s too big for the chair sitting next to me
And he makes an unbearable din
Sing us a song, you’re the piano man
Your skin is a wooden facade
You’ve brass pedals for hands

My problem is I have 5 thoughts going thru my head all at once as I’m doing a task and forget to do whatever it is I’m doing. So now I’m just standing there glitching.

This has been one of the most valuable aspects of social media for me.
The thing I want most from social media is smart people with a different frame of reference – often due to race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, country of origin, class, academic training - to tell me what the world looks like to them right now. Bluesky does this. /3
