We literally do disagree about this, though. Some politicians want to take food from children and some politicians don't. Pretending this "isn't political" just allows the child-starving ghouls to get away with it.

Tell people who supports the *political program* to feed children and who doesn't!

We can disagree about policy. But we should never disagree about whether a child deserves to eat.

It's easy to blame ignorant people for their lack of knowledge, but the people with the knowledge have the responsibility to be better communicators, or at least to partner with skilled communicators. Because communication is a skill.

Otherwise, why bother knowing things.

How common is it for you or folks you know to refer to US cities by their airport codes?

I feel I do this often, but after someone in a comment section mentioned MSP (which, granted, is where I live/my home airport), and someone else ask about the abbreviation meant, I wondered.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

UPPER NORTHEAST!

Rejoice!

Lowry reopens on Friday !

Hell yeah Fillmore crossing!

Lowry Avenue reopens October 24
Hennepin County's reconstruction of Lowry Avenue (County Road 153) from Central Avenue to Johnson Street in Northeast Minneapolis is nearly complete.
When it reopens to traffic on Friday afternoon it will be a safer, more comfortable street for people walking, rolling, biking, and taking transit
Improvements include
• A repaved road with one lane of traffic in each direction, traffic calming extensions at each intersection, new curbs and ramps for improved safety and better accessibility
• A shared-use path with raised crossings along the north side of Lowry Avenue for people walking, biking and rolling
• A new sidewalk along the south side of Lowry Avenue
• Wider green boulevards to provide more space between traffic and people walking or rolling
• New decorative streetlights
• Updated drainage facilities
• New signals at Johnson Street
• New crossing at Fillmore Street with a flashing user-activated light

A few years ago, I found out that a common ham radio sign-off (which my family used as shorthand), was also a neo-Nazi abbreviation. So we stopped using it! Even with each other!! Come on!

One of the things that would move my late father to tears of rage was that there were any hungry people in such a prosperous country. Find your local food orgs and donate; money if you can, as they can make it go much further than individual food drop-offs and respond to their community needs.

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.

This is tragic. The loss of friction deprives people of something crucial. What happens between imagination and creation is ineffable—it entails struggle, iteration, joy, and frustration, disappointment, and pride. It is the process through which we enact agency. It is how we make meaning and move through the world. To lose that, I fear, is to capitulate on our very humanity.
