Just found out I won't be getting our SNAP benefits this month due to the shutdown

I need to raise some extra funds for groceries to cover it.

I have slots open on my VGen and any comms would be extremely helpful right now.

I'll reopen some Flash Sale slots on Vgen as well.

SNAP benefits for November 2025 are delayed
Because of the federal government shutdown, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has not released the funds that states use to pay SNAP (food assistance) benefits. This means Colorado is unable to issue the close to $120 million of November SNAP benefits to
clients until the federal government restores funding.
We will update this banner as soon as we have new information.

Israel is not "testing" the ceasefire, they are breaking it, just like they always do.

The only thing Israel has been "testing", for decades, is the moral fucking decency of Western media and governments, proving quite thoroughly that they are the same genocidal racists they've always been.

I don't go to Emiru but I'm watching her VOD where she goes over what happened to her at Twitchcon and moreover, Twitch's absolutely dogshit response to it and it is fucking harrowing. It is infuriating that she's even having to speak about it because Twitch otherwise wouldn't address it. Good lord.

Examples of how fascist untruths get regurgitated as fact by LLMs are ubiquitous, but this one is really jarring. The Harvard Kennedy School article Gemini scraped is entirely about how the claim is false. Gemini cannot parse this, instead sharing DHS propaganda as fact when you search her name.

What did Rumeysa Ozturk do?
DHS and ICE investigations found Ozturk engaged in activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing of Americans. A visa is a privilege not a right.

🚨 IDF whistleblower EXPOSES that aid from 1,000 trucks was BURIED in pits or burned.

The IDF dug pits and buried or burned the aid and then they blamed Hamas!

Just let that sink in.

In the deadliest violation of the ceasefire, an Israeli tank shell struck a civilian vehicle in Gaza City's Al-Zaytoun neighborhood, killing eleven members of the Abu Shaaban family. Among the victims were seven children and three women, who were on their way to inspect their home when the shell hit

The image shows a tragic aftermath scene with a blurred child’s body lying on a dirt road surrounded by debris and burnt earth. The text overlay reads: “Child’s body recovered after Abu Shaban family massacre in Gaza.”

Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
