I LOVE Christmas lights but the LED ones make my eyes hurt, and most lights now are LED. It feels like staring into the sun and it really ruins it for me.

I’d wager those top 3 are the same across the US.
The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time."

I regret every joke I’ve made about how our elected officials were so old they didn’t know how to use a computer. I would give anything for another administration that doesn’t know how to use a computer

one insidious thing about gen AI is it's not just causing us to mistrust dodgy images, it's also making us mistrust images that look perfectly normal. this is gaslighting in a very literal sense bc the technology is undermining the trust we have in our own ability to perceive reality!

Now imagine this as a single parent with little to no family support. The struggle is becoming increasingly difficult as cuts to childcare subsidies & other benefits like SNAP are increasing. Moving just a few dollars over the current poverty line means possible job loss due to lack of childcare 1/
The real poverty line is around $140k for a family of four, but it’s perversely hard to get there:
“Every dollar you earn climbing from $40,000 to $100,000 triggers benefit losses that exceed your income gains. You are literally poorer for working harder.”

I would choose for my autistic child to be born autistic (he was, it wasn’t vaccines) 100x over dying from diseases that could have been prevented by vaccines.
Thankfully, our pediatrician is fully on board with making sure we stay on schedule.

ICYMI: Yesterday, the CDC updated its vaccine safety page to say that vaccines might cause autism (they don’t) and that the science isn’t settled (it is).
For substantiation, the page links out to several studies by anti-vax allies of HHS Robert Kennedy Jr.

Appreciate Jamelle pointing this out. Different people with different agendas. I think many miss seeing the full picture when they focus solely on DT. There are others using this shoddy presidency as a vehicle for moving their shitty ideologies forward, trying to run over anyone in their way.

New from @byjustinmiller.bsky.social: Even as the lege debated school vouchers, corporate vendors were already competing behind the scenes for the lucrative contract. A closer look at how Odyssey became the big winner... and whose influence helped make the decision.

The New York firm Odyssey is now running the state’s lucrative voucher scheme with a little help from the governor’s friends.

Standing in solidarity with you, as a survivor. It is more common than people think but it is not normal. The airing out of these horrendous acts may open old wounds or inflame fresh ones, so yes, be kind to yourselves. Take up space, give yourself room to be- whatever that looks like for you.
Rough day to be any sort of survivor of sexual violence. Solidarity to all of you, please be kind to yourselves

Feeling extremely proud as a parent right now. My 7 year old asked to one day see the author of her favorite books so she can tell him how much she loves his stories and have him sign her book. He’s coming to a city nearby next year and she is ECSTATIC!

SNAP Helps 1.2 Million Veterans With Low Incomes, Including Thousands in Every State
About 1.2 million veterans live in households that participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps).[1] Thousands of veterans in every state — who may be unemployed, working in low-paying jobs, or have disabilities — use SNAP to supplement their low income to put food on the table for themselves and their families.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreieeah63rqdvribid445jwc6kty7jmbhaepnycm33x54627zm7pply@jpeg)
