JUST IN: California has adopted Prop 50, the Democratic plan to redistrict the state, according to CNN.

They called it as soon as polls closed.

Black and Brown people. PLEASE, PLEASE for the love of us all do not allow yourself to be interviewed if SNAP benefits don't come on November 1. Make the white folks do the interviews. They love getting Black folks to do these interviews so that people think we are the only ones hurt.

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

my favorite part of this whole thing is that said reports were specifically written in Greek so when the explorers went back to Britain, the average person couldn't accidentally read about gay penguins and be scandalized

Reports on the homosexual behaviour of penguins in Antarctica were hidden for over 100 years

It’s just one example of how research on queer animal behaviour has been buried, ignored and dismissed

Menswear guy has spies everywhere. Doesn’t matter if you’re showing collar gap in the Twin Cities, being rude to service workers in Charlotte, or wearing a raggedy white t-shirt to eat at an expensive place in Malibu, he *will* know about it and burn you if you force his hand.

Idaho started ACA open enrollment. Here's a preview for the rest of us.

When your rates rise and you can't afford coverage, remember that it's the GOP who made it happen.

"Both are retired and make about $42,000 a year. They currently pay $51 a month for their ACA plan. Late last month, they got a notice that their monthly premium would increase to $2,232 next year without the subsidies."

A great essay about our current reality

Tajja Isen @tajjaisen.bsky.social · Sep 26

I spent the summer reporting this essay on why it seems harder than ever to sell a book right now—especially if it isn't a debut and comes with the dreaded "sales track." I'm grateful to the writers, agents, editors, publishers & experts who spoke to me for this piece: thewalrus.ca/the-publishi...
