🎶 The sleigh bells, they were ringin'
The snow was fallin down
The carolers were singin'
The day Santa Claus came into town
He rode through the sky on a bright red sleigh
Laughed and flew above the trees
He made his way down the chimney shaft
The day Santa gave a gift to me

Voucher program is supposed to help poor families rent a home. Nearly half the time, it fails.
Nearly half of people who receive federal housing vouchers are unable to use them. "It's a dire situation," one researcher said.

If you are looking for someone to help with mutual aid this holiday season, Austin and his family could use the help. His dad is disabled, he has 2 cool pets, and they were screwed by the federal voucher system. Check out the USA Today article below and his profile for links to donate. Thanks y'all.

We are still about $800 away from being secure through Christmas at least, $1500 from being rent secure through the new year. Please consider donating anything you can spare. Reposts greatly appreciated( @eve6.bsky.social I'm looking at you!). We need a lot help this holiday season, folks.
We're a homeless, disabled family. Dad is bed bound, on oxygen, and immunocompromised. He likely won't survive a nursing home, but I'm going to have to put him into one if we can't pay for a motel room. Consider helping us raise motel rent.

Health insurance industry PR is working overtime right now diverting blame to physicians for claim denials and rising costs. I feel compelled to remind everybody that Optum (UHC) is the largest employer of physicians in the US. We have never had less power in healthcare than we do right now.

Standing at 2.13 metres in height, the curling rock was unveiled for the 1960 Brier held in the community. It was once the world's largest curling rock but has since been bested by a curling rock built in Arborg, Manitoba.

Everyone talks about the Butterball hotline today, but here's one I think is also helpful and important all year! The ASPCA has a poison control center phone number available 24/7/365. A consultation fee may apply but just might save your pet's life. (888) 426-4435
