Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help:
Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org.
Please donate what you can.

going through some shit because you really fucked up is humbling as hell but having someone who’s there for you even when that happens is a remarkable thing

The "even to strangers, even when costly" hits particularly hard, many of us are silent helpers.
No, autistics do not “lack empathy”: “Where researchers had assumed impairment, they found autistic people applying moral principles more consistently—even to strangers, even when costly.” By Ludmila Pradlova.

What the World Got Wrong About Autistic People
For decades, autism research compared autistic people to animals, denied them moral sensitivity, and assumed autistic traits made them miserable. All wrong.

Still trying to meet at least half of this goal for not fully covered prescriptions. This one $784 charge alone wipes out the majority of my fixed $867 CPP-Disability payment for the month and there are other bills coming. Just trying to stay afloat.
Would deeply appreciate any help towards paying off the credit card charge for my prescriptions. The total is $784, my monthly CPP-Disability is $867.

we got the important updates, like the announcer’s favorite drill when he played high school basketball
broadcast does not seem to have noticed that swords never returned to the game. she has stayed at the end of the bench and appears to be icing her head.

Renee Nicole Good was a mother of three, including a 6-year-old boy who is now an orphan.
Renee was deeply loved by many. Her mom described her as “one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.”
This is who we lost yesterday.

American servicemembers and communities deserve access to safe drinking water, free of toxic PFAS chemicals.
I secured language in the national defense bill to help hold Trump's Defense Department accountable for PFAS contamination at military installations all across the country.
