I've got a feeling that a bunch of newbies just found Tony's feed/starter pack because I just gained a whole pile of new followers who all have something about adoption in their bios.
So, hi new friends! I talk about LOTS of things, not just the fact that I was bought from the catholic baby store!
So, hi new friends! I talk about LOTS of things, not just the fact that I was bought from the catholic baby store!
I’ll repeat my standing invitation to #adoptees: add yourselves to my Adoptees of Bluesky feed. The only posts of yours that show up in the feed are those that include a few terms like #adoption #adoptee #adoptees #adopteevoices and 🥚 (because we’re supposed to have fallen from some stork’s cloaca)
If you're new here, this is a thread full of my adoptee tweets. Some are about adoption generally and some are about either my adoptive or bio family (or a combination of the two). So feel free to scroll through and catch up on the hashtag Crucial Lore™️. 🥚

The birth family is pretty much always known—by somebody anyway. If they’re not, it’s generally because somebody has an interest in concealing it (usually money).

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Most people don’t know that with SNAP you are banned from buying “foods that are hot at the point of sale”. So even if you have SNAP (which people don’t now) you can’t get cooked food. Which means you need to also actually have the resources to PREPARE a “healthy” meal.
Thinking about the social stigma against eating fast food in a country where poor people are being starved by the govt, the cost of groceries and fresh vegetables are astronomical, and a cheeseburger at McDonald’s costs $3.50.
“Clean” and “healthy” eating rhetoric is racist, ableist, and classist.

Target, who openly fucked over black & queer people for a few bucks, is offering a Thanksgiving meal for 4 people for $20.
Aldi, who pays employees well and hasn't given a red cent to Trump or various PACS, has a Thanksgiving meal for 10 people for $40.
It's not a hard choice. FUCK Target.

inspiration porn is a quintessential American reaction to their government removing or not initiating assistance programs. the government they pay for.
Stories like this around people rising to meet the SNAP crisis are easy to frame as inspirational and I appreciate the reporting here that stresses that this is a crisis of the government's making with long-term consequences that individuals alone cannot fix.
As SNAP benefits run dry, 'grocery buddies' are footing their neighbors' food bills
With federal food aid frozen during the government shutdown, there has been a wave of people rushing to help — sending gift cards or buying groceries for SNAP recipients in their community.
