i really enjoy collaborating with artists, but i have no fucking idea how to commission stuff. the only time i actually did it was from a dear friend who i'd been yakking at about the fic in question for ages. i don't like telling other people what to make OR asking them to figure it out. 😅

#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits.
The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.

Annoyingly, I JUST posted the WIP chapter with a solid 21 instances of "trail," and I don't think it's coming up again soon. So:
"Ed peers over the edge of the trail, watching as the pebble gives in to gravity, sending up a puff of dust in its wake."
