Not-so-fun-fact: 1 in 6 Massachusetts residents received SNAP benefits in 2024. Over 1 million MA residents. That number *has* to have risen in 2025.
Which means that even more than 1 in 6 residents will face hunger in November.
If you have the means, *please* donate $$ to a local food bank.

So many big terrible things are happening out there right now. I'm trying to save what little mental health I have remaining by sending some light out into the universe.
So tonight, if you're of a romantic nature, I wish you love like @aliceoseman.bsky.social created with the sweetest of cartoons.

This won't mean much to anyone not from eastern MA, but man, fuck Thomas Koch, his bigotry, and his half-assed (non)apology.
Also, fuck anyone who still wants to equate homosexuality with pedophilia.

Reskeeting one last time because the race is tomorrow & this is your last chance to donate to help save more lives from ovarian cancer. Reskeets & small donations to help my team reach our fundraising goal are much appreciated!
Because there’s no screening test for ovarian cancer, it’s often discovered so late that it’s hard to cure. Awareness of early symptoms is key:
–bloating
–pelvic or abdominal pain
–feeling full quickly
–peeing more often
If these last for 2+ weeks, call your doctor! For more info, visit ovarian.org

There is no middle ground.
You cannot compromise with someone who actively wants you dead. There is no version of yourself small enough to appease them.
If you give in, they will eventually whittle you down to nothing. And they will laugh all the way to the bank.

This isn’t just! It’s unconstitutional! It’s hypocritical! It’s immoral! It’s illegal! It’s wrong! It’s unprecedented!

The first thing I think of when I see Kimmel getting shut down is all of his staff, who don’t have millions of dollars, and who are about to be suddenly stuck without a job in a shitty job market where the cost of living is too high

One thing that bothers me tonight in particular is how so much of this is happening because of grand and sweeping capitulation by the media, by companies, by Congress, by people in power. Even when they don’t have to — they simply comply, acquiesce, and appease.

It is incredibly important that people pay attention to this. A bill went to committee hearing on the Hill today that would allow Rubio to strip US citizens of their passports if, in his sole determination, their social media indicated that they supported terrorism.
Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”.
They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left.
This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up.

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."
Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years.
Speaks for itself.
