New Mexico to provide $30 million in food assistance with federal SNAP benefits on hold Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham announced that New Mexico will provide $30 million to provide food assistance to SNAP participants through November 10.

I see, it looks like NM has figured out how disburse non-SNAP funds into EBT cards. Hopefully they can help other states navigate the process if this drags on

I mean, that would be best, but the feds are holding the SNAP money hostage. I would imagine that this is the fastest way they can get state aid out, since they’d have to come up with a mechanism for divvying it up and disbursing it onto everyone’s EBT card from a different account

Does anyone have any surefire ways to find objects stolen by the fae? Asking for an object with an approximately 4’ x 3’ x 2” frame that I swear was in that closet

Ohhhh gotcha, I muted her pretty quickly so it hasn’t been quite so bad on my feed

At this point I’m either muting or blocking because clearly we have VERY different morals. I get it’s uncomfortable to realize you’re apologizing for racism but grow up, do better, and move on to something better! It’s possible!

We may be about to find out how many people are unaware of the relationship between their Oregon Trail card and SNAP

One of the reasons I love my community and am happy to have my kids grow up here is because we hear 3-4 different languages every time we go to Costco

The research coming out of Finland is part of why we chose an outdoor preschool. Anecdotally, we’ve had 3 less viruses so far than a friend who started traditional preschool at the same time

It’s not exactly kingship, but at some point in the last 200 years my husband’s family got so pissed off with the rest of the Kennedys that they changed their name, fucked off, and ended up Protestant. Probably for the best honestly. Everyone in that line would make a better HHS secretary though

In high school one of my choirs sang β€œThe Boy From New York City.” The sheet music had an absolutely hilarious typo, so obvi us normally β€œgood” kids loved pissing off the director by singing β€œhis dueling scar/ and brand new ear” since after all, that’s what was written

What if the tamale is the ancient precursor to the corn dog

That looks a hell of a lot better than most GF buns, AND it keeps the condiments corralled? I’ve got to remember this the next time we have hot dogs

Yeah, I think I had a couple friends growing up who were like β€œcool, fry sauce on salad, why not.”

I’m going to need more info on cheeseburger salads- that sounds interesting since most gluten free buns suck

She must do a decent job on the ratios because everyone her age and older that’s eaten it always says it’s good… or they’re just better liars than I am

My mom’s version of salad dressing was mayo mixed with ketchup. I grew up hating salad dressing

I grew up in a Best Foods family and still hate it. The only one I’ve ever liked is a fancy Japanese one that I can only get from, like, 1 restaurant. I can tolerate the more hipster brands now but I’ll only voluntarily eat it in potato salad

I think my favorite part was the bit where she was like β€œI know you’re not violating the oath to the constitution that we both took”

Oh my god I have to drive through the Nike campus to get to Costco, this is giving me all sorts of feelings

(Incidentally, half the buildings are now for sale/lease…)

Ms Rachel via Instagram:

I've eaten rice the way Zohran Mamdani does. A friend made me a meal years ago & showed me that way of eating rice. I thought it was cool.
Teachers in NYC teach students to be kind & respectful toward other students' cultures. It's one of our learning standards to help children feel proud of who they are.
It's disappointing that some adults can't model the same decency & kindness that students in NYC show every day.
They would rather model something none of our religions teach us - racism and attacking our neighbors instead of loving them.

Ms Rachel just called Andrew Cuomo a raggedy old racist bitch

It was pretty sweet. I’m finding myself wondering if I can track one down even though I hardly eat popcorn nowadays

LMAO I’m so glad that’s not the version I grew up with. My mom perfected her caramel corn recipe on my friends when I was a teen, the jokes of this were the model would’ve been…

I mean, I feel like it’s also the sort of thing that people got rid of if they didn’t use and everyone else is hanging onto it until either it dies or they do
