When I was broke as a student, I would attend brown bags at my college because they usually served food for lunch. Just saying, it’s free and you learn something 💁🏾‍♀️ sometimes they let you take the leftovers home.

The clips and conversations I’m hearing about the SNAP (food stamp) cuts should be above the fold everywhere. It’s a scary time for a lot of people.

Families are already hanging by a thread, but the sad truth is it’s about to get a lot worse when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November.

It’s time to find our local food banks and help out with donations and volunteer hours if you are able.

Rent and groceries are too high, and the amount people make is too low.

Talk to your coworkers about how much you all make, talk about the issues you are facing financially, these things are not shameful.

Working class Americans from all backgrounds must stick together.

Societies that condone genocide, that laugh about torture, that dance to songs about burning people’s homes and villages—these are sick societies that are rotting from the inside out. We have seen them before in history, and we see them still now.

Everyone could use a good scare, but sometimes you don’t want to jump headlong into the hard stuﬀ. Matt Goldberg suggests some PG-13 horror ﬁlms that provide a useful bridge into the genre—without the R-rated material. boxd.it/2LG

Here’s an example of what happens when the unregulated supplement industry meets the multi-billion dollar fitness/wellness market - high levels of lead in widely-used protein powders.

You’d think 🧠🪱’s MAHA movement would want the FDA to do something about that…
