Regardless of if and when the government gets up and running, it’s the top requested need at food shelves nationwide. And our neighbors need them NOW. Thank you!

You already cannot use SNAP for menstrual hygiene products, but imagine the strain when SNAP shuts down and harder choices are being made. Hit me up on Venmo @ Katie-Dohman if you want to help. I’ll shop and deliver after Halloween (our drive deadline).

Northern Dakota County folks: even before this, Open Door was seeking new donors. Neighbors, Inc is also a great place to help out. 1/3

The MN Dept of Children, Youth, and Families has been told that SNAP benefits (aka food stamps) will not be paid in November if the shutdown continues. Donate to your local food shelves if you can.

Federal shutdown information
Last updated: October 15, 2025 

The Department of Children, Youth, and Families has received notice from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Services that if the federal government shutdown continues into November, there will not be enough funds to pay November Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.

We will continue to add information on this site as federal guidance changes or program operations are affected.

And yet these same folks believe in the abortion-reversal pill, which people can bleed out on. To @usefulnoise.bsky.social point, it’s because it’s based on one belief only —and that is ”I am right.”

This is honestly the cutest thing I’ve seen in a long time. What a fun package. You’re so lucky to have a Gram!

🥹♥️🩸 thank you!!! You’ll make someone’s next couple months.

I’m @ Katie-Dohman if you want to help. You’ll be someone’s hero for real

@ Katie-Dohman!

Anyway, venmo me if you wanna help stock our local food shelf’s inventory. Crisis levels. Our neighbors are struggling. We have raised $30+K in six annual drives and it flies off the shelves. Top requested item, 1 in 3 adults and 1 in 4 teens experience period poverty every mo. Halloween deadline.

8yo, as I try to objectively answer his questions about the period drive: “Wait. I can’t believe you have to pay for pads and tampons. Every month?? It’s, like, a major NEED. And then you can’t even use help (Ed. note: He means SNAP) if you don’t have enough money? They should change that.”

8yo: “Mom, did you know there was this girl who was deaf and blind but she learned how to read and write really well? That changed the world! It made me cry reading that story at school! Sometimes learning can change the world. It’s possible to change the world if you try your best.”

Oof, it’s so embarrassing. Especially when the list is focused on a particular era … in which she was so front and center in pop culture.

Rolling Stone is out here writing about how Drops of Jupiter is in the top 250 of the 21st century and OutKast’s writing about “Lucy Loos.” All Beyonces and Lucy LIUs! It’s a reference! Agh!!! Is the editor asleep at the wheel or what? (I know, I know…)

I had TWO sour patch kids in a bag. At that point it’s crimes against nature for using that much plastic for nothing.

They wouldn’t taste so good with coffee if they weren’t.

Wow. Also wonder about how allergy med side effects may factor in. I know of a handful of people who experienced suicidal ideation after taking Singulair and had to stop

We did something similar in a downtown loft kitchen, it worked so slick

Because it’s like $60 to go to the movies and the bank is like “whoa whoa whoa that price is ridiculous, must be fraud.” Nope. Just theme park admission to a movie theater these days

Update: Logan has been located after drone and dog search. I have no other details at this time but thank you so much for sharing out!

You’re also right to say plenty of cool culture and music came out of that era! (He was among them, is all.)

kd @katalogued.bsky.social · 5d

But Dylan and Cash even made music *together.* He was an outlaw. He wore all black. Handsome as all get-out. Talented. He lived the rock lifestyle! The man was cool. :)
