Oh Robert LOVES cardboard boxes.
Is Bruce Willis just playing Rick Moranis in Death Becomes Her?
16yo’s costume was a bathrobe over pjs, apparently he was a wizard that got caught in a storm or something? Anyway he’s now of the age where I just drop him off at a friends’…I both miss and do not miss the trick or treating.
It’s so hard to have my kid somewhere every other week where his feelings are being constantly hurt and his needs are neglected. Harder to live it for sure but it physically hurts to leave him/pick him up.

Trump and Republicans went to court to try to steal food assistance form 42 million people ahead of the holidays.

Do not forget this.
BREAKING: A *separate* federal court in Rhode Island just ordered the Trump admin to pay for SNAP benefits during the shutdown — saying the government "must distribute" aid using emergency funds and that the benefits should be paid as soon as possible.
I would not implicate them on the internet like that, who knows who is reading 😂
The squirrels in my yard have adopted a weave or wig as a door. They recently gave it a trim (leaving the trimmings all over my yard). It’s…really something to watch them lift up their little human hair doorway and pop in/out. 😬 Happy Halloween?
My husband, who hated spiders deeply until a few months ago, and I are texting each other from opposite ends of the house about our search for the huge jumping spider who hitched a ride into the house last week (who he named Albert) and our hope that he has not perished. I’m so fucking lucky 🥰🥰
Why does Dan Orban think I want a flier when I have a Chavez sign in my yard? And who thought up the brilliant idea to tape it to my window? Now I have to go pick at sticky tape on my glass door. Making quite a statement. 🙄
I had a vivid dream about a line of Great Depression-era clowns at Powderhorn in a bread line, and me trying to hire one of them. What…the fuck…?

Years ago when I was on SNAP (we called it Link) I would tutor my hairdresser's son in exchange for getting my hair done. I got my teeth cleaned at a student clinic for $10 IIRC and my nails done by a friend in the cosmetology program who always needed people to practice on. Community 101
It annoys me when people say “they’re on SNAP but their hair and nails are done and they’ve got tattoos”. It’s extremely normal to do your own hair and buy press on nails, and tattoos literally last forever. What do tattoos someone got 10 years ago have to do with them needing to eat now
Anyway it’s an absolutely beautiful day. If the universe would give me a small kindness and do this tomorrow too, I would really appreciate it. So much.
Seeing some good old fashioned listserv drama that I don’t have to interact with is a small bandaid to my soul right now.
Get yourselves ready, friends.
Heads up Minneapolis - we're next.

This is not something I want to do, but as someone who was food insecure for a long time, here are some ways to get the most out of what you can get.

-if you have dietary restrictions or food aversions, spend some time thinking about what foods are safe. It sounds obvious, but—

It's amazing that these guys don't recognize that being an aggro asshole when surrounded by literally hundreds of people who hate them is risky behavior.

Bowser made it half a block before she started limping and we had to turn home. I love old dogs so much but they’re so hard and so good at breaking your heart.
