Let the doors be shut upon him, that he may play the fool no where but in ’s own house.

Not only is it going to be a hunger crisis, it's going to be a farm crisis. All those gallons of milk bought from dairy farmers, all the produce, all the on sale ground beef and packs of chicken that are paid for by SNAP are subsidies to farmers who don't qualify for commodities subsidies.

Starving can cause chronic illness and disabilities.

Malnutrition is not to be trifled with.

There’s no excuse for this. 40 million people rely on that program.

It’s a cull.

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—

I've just been leaning into dramatic, it helps me validate my anxiety to see the horror on other people's faces.

Hawaiʻi currently grows more bananas than coffee by pound, but the coffee is worth more.

confessed to my colleagues I didn’t start out funny, but when you’re the weird autistic kid you tell the truth in unexpected ways & that’s the same basic format as a joke, so at some point I just started confidently pretending I was doing it on purpose & confidence changes laughing AT to WITH

every time I see one of those rants that include an"Ozempic is a weight loss drug" rants its like yes it is and you're simply gonna ignore that it functionally cures Type 2 diabetes and to land whatever zinger you think you've cooked up here huh

None of his suits are strong

If you push yourself to your limits and burn out for a company, you are trading years of your future productivity for minor gains in the present.

Burning out will _fuck you up_, it's like brain fog or depression, and it takes years to recover

When I was in Nicaragua an Indigenous activist said to me “Indigenous Peoples can’t trust the left or the right. Both sides will try to steal our land and kill us.” I always think about her words.

Wow, prime example of accusing others of your own guilt. She is really telling on herself here.

A herd of bison stretching off into the distance on a snowy prairie.

Bison should be allowed to roam free and cattle should be restricted to private land.
All abandoned barbed wire should be removed from public land.
The money today being wasted on public lands grazing should go into building wildlife overpasses and installing wildlife safe guide fencing.
