Like Cathy from the comic, except less competent and together.
Like if Gonzo the Great had a human cousin who was just okay.
Like if a Roly Poly had Lightening Bug aspirations.

I call it my foodonym.

-"I've been really depressed"
Bummer. Pedestrian. Far too accurate.
-"I've been doing a lot of self reflection"
Sounds like you're an intellectual. Gives the impression of self awareness. Is technically still accurate.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.
Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.
Don’t forget this.

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.
Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim.
Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen.
Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators.

There are two NDs inside of me. One can't stand being in nature cause it's sticky and itchy, and there's bugs and dirt and animal feces and ticks and sunburn, and humidity. The other stops every few feet to take pictures of interesting mushrooms and has a pocket full of rocks to take home.

This is endlessly frustrating about current activism. Disabled people are INCREDIBLE organizers and have fought for successful change for generations. And yet these days y’all leave us out of your activism and refuse to create accessible spaces.
But look at what actual solidarity can accomplish:

In 1977, Disabled activists occupied the Federal Building in San Francisco to demand the passage of Section 504— legislation to protect against disability discrimination.When the building was cordoned off, in an effort to starve activists out, The Black Panthers *Broke In* to deliver them hot meals.
