Churches, charities & family are not a substitute for SNAP
They can help but they’re not accessible to everyone
They can’t scale up to support an influx of 42 million people
The government could easily fund SNAP, they’re choosing not to
They’re choosing to let people starve

Sometimes the things you yell out to no one in particular out of frustration about figuring out the opening lines of a song become the opening lines of a song

fascism maintains power by making everyone too scared to fight back but the truth is there's only a few of them and most of the stuff they're threatening is logistically impossibly at scale. they'll make examples and count on that to cow the rest. Not fighting back is the only way to lose though.

Moderna's next-gen covid booster called MNexSpike is available to choose at Costco when you make an appointment. MNexSpike trial studies showed about 40% higher titer generation than SpikeVax, and it waned slower. Anecdotally, it also has less side effects.

Lil Nas X faces felony charges of "battery" against an officer from an arrest during a mental health crisis in late August. I wrote about my family member's experience with police being sent during mental health episodes—still common for wellness checks—and how it ruined their life.

Why Lil Nas X's Arrest Is More Proof Police Have No Business Treating the Mentally Ill

You know what I find scary? The militarization of cities.
Armed men covering their faces and kidnapping people into unmarked vehicles.
The National Guard on every street corner.
You know what I don’t find scary? Homeless and disabled people, men eating sandwiches and immigrants.

Seeing an awful lot of people sick with Covid right now.
Many saying “Covid is back”.
It never left. That’s why some of us are still advocating for mitigations.
Every infection is a dice roll with disability.
Wear a mask. Clean the air. Stay home when sick.

When the people in the car yelled at me that the place they had thrown their trash into "wasnt my garden", they meant "you dont own this land so we can do what we want" and they were right that i do not own the land. Those trees veggies, and critters are my friends. I wish they could understand.

Blox N95s were my favorite, most comfortable respirator to wear. I was thinking today wearing a Gerson 3230 how it pales in comparison in terms of comfort, smell, durability, even style.
Found out today they no longer make Blox N95s cause the company just doesnt want to.
