We’re purchasing $1,000 worth of food for the backpacks then building Thanksgiving, Cleaning, and Hygiene kits…as well as donating $500 to a local charity that works to fill in the gaps with gift cards, fuel assistance, etc.

This old trope. That the Amish do not vaccinate and that they do not have autism, keeps resurfacing. Trust the facts. Not the peddlers of desinformation.

Amish people do vaccinate - and autism exists in Amish communities – Full Fact

Social media claims that autism is less prevalent among Amish people because they don’t get vaccinated aren’t supported by the evidence.

When I was like 8 and trick or treating one guy in a dapper suit opened the door and looked baffled by the very concept of trick or treaters, he turned to a bowl on a table and gave us each a handful of loose change. Almost four decades later and I’m still thinking about that eccentric king.

In 6 years of living here we've never had a trick or treater so we stopped buying candy but I got one last night so I gave him $5 then went to bed cause that's all the cash I had on me

If you thought masked, unidentified federal agents grabbing people off the street were a frightening step toward dystopia, wait until it's private contractors chasing cash bonuses for rounding up human beings at scale

Sam Biddle @sambiddle.com · 2d

ICE is planning to offer private sector bounty hunters cash bonuses for quickly tracking down the home addresses of immigrants across the US, according to a DHS document I reviewed. ICE encourages potential contractors to use "all technology systems available.” theintercept.com/2025/10/31/i...

ICE Plans Cash Rewards for Private Bounty Hunters to Locate and Track Immigrants

Companies hired by ICE would be given bundles of information on 10,000 immigrants at a time to locate.

i did my americorps service at a place called bridging, where people got to shop for free for home goods when they had little to nothing.

abuse survivors, fire victims, people getting their first secure housing

silverware, cooking utensils—they were like gold. people got their first pan.

if you're replacing smoke detector batteries and/or testing alarms today i recommend making a note of where your pets go when the alarms are going off

in an actual emergency they'll likely hide in the same spot

“Individuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. “By that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”

What’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done? I don’t mean “cheating on your partner” stupid, I mean stupid stupid. Like, once, I had this bubble bath which smelled absolutely delicious, so I took a big glug of it. That kind of stupid. (It did not taste delicious.)

New from me: As Flock Safety cameras proliferate across the US, creating a real-time national database on Americans' movements for police, people in cities like Austin, Denver and Sedona are pushing back.

Police cameras track billions of license plates per month. Communities are pushing back.

More than 5,000 law enforcement departments across the U.S. use interconnected Flock Safety cameras to track residents’ movements.
