How do you find out who locally does what? Call and ask your food banks first. I also asked our local midwifery and health visiting teams. And now again I hang out in a lot of churches so YMMV, but I make a point of asking them (and finding out if strings are attached).

as a side note, a lot of food banks in the U.K.- I dunno about the USA- won’t accept or give out formula (despite the govt publishing explicit guidance that legally they can do so).

Every time I buy someone formula, I also give them info on where, locally, they can get ongoing support.

medieval medicine was actually better than people think, and it utilized a lot of herbal knowledge—much of which was lost due to political, climate, and plague devastation

herbal medicine can be infused in alcohol, so I have a theory some ancient medicine survives in amaros & sometimes go on quests

judeo-christian, my ass

If you’re in line when the polls close, stay in line. You can still cast your ballot. Your vote matters.

Si vous êtes encore en file à la fermeture des bureaux de vote, restez-y. Vous pourrez quand même voter. Votre vote est important.
