I am begging the mainstream media to talk less about the East Wing & more about the loss of SNAP funding for the next few days.

The East Wing is gone. We can’t change that.

We *can* help people prepare for the loss of SNAP.

We can urge folks to donate to food banks.

We can give them warning.

my partner raked up all the fallen leaves two days ago. can’t you tell?

a sloped yard blanketed in yellow and orange fallen leaves, with a post and beam fence in front of a woody forest background. all the leaves left on the trees are yellow and orange and there’s a faint blue sky visible where leaves have already fallen off the trees.

Such a mind fuck how Covid conscious folks are accused of not "moving on" when really we're the only ones who've evolved our behavior to fit the science, while others cling to some 2019 glittery dream world indefinitely

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Has anyone made this connection yet?

I think our redhead could be a nod to pirate queen of Ireland, Grace O'Malley. You could say she kept it 100 on the land, the sea, and the sky as the only female chieftain pre-British rule and was the head of her family dynasty.

@invisiblethemes.bsky.social

this is a drawn depiction of Irish pirate queen grace o'malley. She has red, long curly hair and is hanging off the side of a pirate ship over open waves. She is wearing a green pirates dress and she is holding up a sword.

this is a screenshot of taylor swift from the fate of ophelia music video. it depicts the scene of her with red, long curly hair, a silver dress with a red heart and holding up a sword on a pirate ship against a blue/green backdrop
