Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped).

It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it.

Make sure you have these disabled.

Update: Along with this, I am also updating the suggestion/voting form AND the free gallery.

The new free gallery will be accessible to everyone no user account needed, easy to download from and have a faves system. Did I mention free?

Really excited! It will be all less hodgepodge than it is now.
I'm creating a really fun user gallery for Trueref.io!

It'll have an appreciates system that's not tied to user accounts. And a front page art feature system, inspired by DeviantArt's old Daily Deviantations!

Other cool things too to try and help pump your socials & show off your art.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.

Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.

Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

This is all I’ve ever dreamed of
I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit

this should not be controversial 🫠

ICYMI: I've proposed a rule change that would protect the ability of undocumented and disabled people to appear in court remotely, increasing access to justice and reducing the incidence of vulnerable people losing cases simply because they can't show up in the courthouse.
Hello Friends! I need your help.

I've submitted a proposal to the Illinois Supreme Court, docketed as Proposal 25-05, to guarantee that undocumented immigrants, disabled people, and legal aid and pro bono attorneys can appear in court remotely. My proposed language is the underlined text below!

The USDA now threatening grocery stores who offer discounts to SNAP recipients.

People are going hungry. Their benefits were illegally cut off leaving them to starve.

40% of SNAP households have children.

If grocery stores & local business want to step up to help… let them.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...
These Bay Area Restaurants Are Offering Free Food to SNAP Recipients
Amid a government shutdown that will cut off aid for 42 million Americans, local food scene folks plan to pick up the slack.

Pet food is usually not covered by SNAP (depending on where you are), but needing to cover more groceries may take up what you would have spent on it. Many animal shelters have pet food pantries, so check your local if you're struggling to feed your pets.

Yes please! Both me and my partner are gf for medical reasons. We got a good delivery from a pantry and almost everything was gluten full. They don’t take requests for food intolerances
A reminder to those fortunate enough to be able to donate to food banks, of course cheap non-perishables is how many go and those are great too, but if you have the means, there’s a ton of people who need food banks with medical issues who need gluten-free food, dairy free etc.!

Folks if you usually do end-of-year/holiday charity giving, consider moving it up to the beginning of November instead and hit up however many local food pantries you can afford to give to. (Check if you or a spouse/partner's employer does charity matching, too.)
In short, we do not know exactly what will happen with November SNAP benefits if the shutdown continues, but we do know there will not be enough money available to fully fund everyone's EBT card.

The insulin patent was sold by Frederick Banting for $1.

The Canadian who discovered insulin everyone to be able to access life saving medication.

In the US it’s financially out of reach for many people.

California is changing that.

I hope other states follow suit.
It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.

Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!
