mine is headphones. my adhd brain likes to have a lil story time while I have to do something boring, and being able to tone down my sensory issues even when I’m not actively listening to anything has been a game changer

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.
