Please step up what you are doing for food banks in your city. This weekend I'm going to rearrange some of my giving significantly in anticipation of the SNAP cuts Nov 1. The food crisis is here.

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

Ngl, seeing “you’re holding the nazi tatted racist white man to impossible standards” as a Black woman, aka the demographic ACTUALLY held to impossible standards, pisses me off deeply. The bar is so low for them and they still can’t clear it, but we’re “ideological purists” for pointing that out.

bombshell reporting from @carolinehaskins.bsky.social on the FTC complaints people have filed in the last year asking for help with AI psychosis:

People Who Say They’re Experiencing AI Psychosis Beg the FTC for Help

The Federal Trade Commission received 200 complaints mentioning ChatGPT between November 2022 and August 2025. Several attributed delusions, paranoia, and spiritual crises to the chatbot.

Would be so happy to! My advice, if you do ever make it up here – please don’t try to drive. We’re such scary drivers lmao and mean about it. I’ve never let an out of state friend drive while visiting.

Oh, and bring @wwebri.bsky.social with you please!

I’ve lived in every part of this country, but came back to Massachusetts because it’s my home. Genuinely I just really love it here, bad weather and all.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

At first I thought she had a cape like a child party magician, and then I realized what it actually was and hated it slightly less… then I looked at the whole thing in full, and was just confused and disappointed.

41 million people (including 20 million kids) will lose access to food in a few days while a new 90,000 square foot ballroom is being added to the White House.

This political moment is profoundly disgusting.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

between the Politico texts and Platner I think we've earned (and would appreciate) at least a week break from any more literal Nazi-related political news updates. maybe we could collectively try for a few days of regular grift and graft stories? a suitcase or Cava bag full of money perchance?

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time.

All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner."

It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.
