I feel like making us deal with an election again is a dumb enough move that parties won’t risk it. But 🤷‍♀️

AllySaurus @allysaurus42.bsky.social · 19h

Yuuup. My voting strategy for the last decade has been I will only vote for people younger than me. Who the heck wants my parents’ generation still in charge???!

Body worship has potential! 🤣

The spoon just flattened me.

AllySaurus @allysaurus42.bsky.social · 20h

They’re literally everywhere :(

AllySaurus @allysaurus42.bsky.social · 20h

Yup. While, as Matthew so correctly points out, sucking up the oxygen in the room and perpetuating terrible stereotypes.

AllySaurus @allysaurus42.bsky.social · 20h

It made me feel a lot of things, but that’s definitely on the list.

But the point where I really lost it is he had the time and energy to shape bean lumps into multiple shapes to entertain the palate of a grown-ass adult. (Adults absolutely deserve such pleasures, but those are the things that go first when you’re just trying to endure).

AllySaurus @allysaurus42.bsky.social · 20h

Yup. One of his meals, he had time to shape some kind of bean thingies into different shapes for diversity and I guess so he didn’t feel like he was mostly just eating beans for dinner. Two bean dishes spiced differently, cooked differently, served in separate dishes…

I worked for an org like that for a bit. The 🔥discussions over whether we let them bring thei $500 sleeping bags or not 😝. Sadly, it was too effective a fundraiser to add more reality.

AllySaurus @allysaurus42.bsky.social · 20h

Preach. Exactly this. His dinner photo could have come out of a restaurant - four different foods on three different dishes. Me… “now you gotta wash all that with the dish soap and energy you don’t have”.

Just checked out all the day 1 art - this is gonna be such a fun way to wake up each day this month!

AllySaurus @allysaurus42.bsky.social · 21h

The texture of this is just wonderful.

AllySaurus @allysaurus42.bsky.social · 21h

Awww that’s exactly what it looks like 😍

AllySaurus @allysaurus42.bsky.social · 21h

Love the colors - looks like it’s sunbathing 😁

AllySaurus @allysaurus42.bsky.social · 21h

Heee chonk nudi

AllySaurus @allysaurus42.bsky.social · 21h

Love this interpretation - it looks very smug in its cup 😁

AllySaurus @allysaurus42.bsky.social · 1d

That’s the guy 🤪. Hundreds of people in his mentions telling him to do the rice and beans, and he’s going to work with a spoonful of peanut butter.

AllySaurus @allysaurus42.bsky.social · 1d

Right? Start two weeks ago, post what they eat. Post what happens now. Make it real.

Hugs if they’re comforting for you. It’s really dysregulating for me when large scale crap like this taps into my personal stories. Ty for using yours to yell into the hurricane.

AllySaurus @allysaurus42.bsky.social · 1d

But no. He wants us to know he had a banana and spoonful of peanut butter for lunch.

Ty for sharing your feelings on this. It gave voice to what’s been bothering me all day. Sorry for processing in real time on your thread 😝

Like you say, he could be amplifying actual meals actual folks on SNAP eat to stretch dollars, he could be making clear how resourceful and imaginative people are, he could be highlighting food deserts and how hard it can be just to get to the grocery store.

AllySaurus @allysaurus42.bsky.social · 1d

Aaaaand he’s got loads of spoons and privilege to work on this, because he’s limiting his food budget, but he’s not worried about gas/bus tickets/heat/kid needs school supplies. He’s basically cosplaying SNAP.

AllySaurus @allysaurus42.bsky.social · 1d

He’s centering his lack of knowledge about how folks on SNAP actually have to eat to get enough calories. People on his replies are giving him solid advice, which just makes so clear he didn’t ask them. He assumed he could figure this out for himself.

AllySaurus @allysaurus42.bsky.social · 1d

Very much this. Was just reading the FB post of a politician who’s feeding himself on SNAP level food for the next month and posting photos of his meals. But he’s still eating bougie stuff, not enough cheap calories, trying to eat what he considers a healthy diet.

AllySaurus @allysaurus42.bsky.social · 1d

Ooooooh no. Trust me I could mess them up 😆. But I’m a waiting audience!
