made tarot cards for this young couple and I was telling them about the time that 3 people in a row drew the moon and at that same time Ethan drew the same card as Niko, Knight of Wands (posted with permission!)

I decorated the back plate of one of my 3DSes. It pleases me greatly. Gonna try taking it in to get the left bumper button repaired at a local place.
a 3DS console with classic clamshell design. the back of the top shell is covered with a crowded and colourful collage that includes the words "play" and a hand with "not now" on it.

folks in are prison

but they don't wanna admit it

cause it's a shitty thing to realize

but it's the only way out
photo of the book "Be Here Now" with the text "you don't seem to understand YOU ARE IN PRISON if you are going to get out of prison the first thing you must realize is: YOU ARE IN PRISON if you think you're free you can't escape it is illustrated with a picture of a chain and someone looking in a microscope while in their brain they are chained

with alt text (seriously how do people read tiny writing like that especially when it is in that orientation?!?)
This seems to be USDA howling into the void after its terrible communications led many states to think that they were free to do what USDA should have told them to do all along. I sometimes feel like howling into the void myself, but I cannot imagine doing so in the cause of keeping millions of people hungry. My guess is that the main point of this memo is to intimidate states that are considering issuing full November benefits. It also may think that some states have performed some of the steps needed to issue November benefits but not completed those tasks. But for states that have already issued benefits, USDA's regulations only allow pulling them back in the case of erroneous issuance or systems error, none of which this is. This is not like the situation where a flawed automated system adds an extra "0" to everyone's benefits. I do not see how USDA can do anything to the states. It was its own memo that said it was working toward full November issuance; its memo did not tell states not to do the same or say it would change its position if it got a stay. And it left that guidance in place for a full day after it received the stay. USDA has nobody to blame but itself.

hot tip if you buy extra cheese curds at the costco restaurant you get this much for just $3

incidentally this is how much curds they put on a single poutine (honestly best poutine in town in terms of price to deliciousness)
a bag of cheese curds bigger than a midsized adult hand
