Our local power company wants $16,000 for the infrastructure to power our house. Tell me again why utilities should be private???

Jays typically do well in away stadiums because most Canadians claim them even if they're now in the US. So they pull more than an average random team.

@aoc.bsky.social from the top rope.
A screenshot of a social media post by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responding to Riley Gaines. Ocasio-Cortez’s caption says, “Maybe if you channeled all this anger into swimming faster you wouldn’t have come in fifth.” Below it is Riley Gaines’s original post saying, “We’re being destroyed from within,” accompanied by a photo from a large political rally. In the photo, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, and a man in a suit stand on a stage facing a large cheering crowd. They are smiling and waving toward the audience under bright stage lights. The platform shows engagement numbers including comments, reposts, likes, and views.

Deeply disappointed in Liz Eddy here, who I've always liked and respected. A reminder that we have a lot of work to do when it comes to educating the public about why trans inclusion isn't just morally correct, but competitively sound share.google/Gjf9a1Sl01eL...
National Women’s Soccer League must adopt gender standards to keep growing

every time a photo of barbra banda is used for some disingenuous gender fuckery it's in part because the league has signaled that it's unwilling to speak up for or protect her in any way

I'm going Coffey-Yohannes-Shaw/Lavelle (depending on Rose's health at that point).
campbellb1234.bsky.social Campbell @campbellb1234.bsky.social · 2d
Give me Coffey-Hutton-Yohannes at mid-field, with Alyssa, Cat, & Trin up front.

USWNT is unstoppable then.

A Jordynn Bugg x Naomi Girma centerback combo with Phallon in goal & Patterson/Fox on the outside is going to hit so hard one of these days soon

Right? Like, I know many who use a press, but absolutely not one that expensive.

And even those who do use a press (and I do know Mexican families that do) are not using something for ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS. They would cry in horror at it being that expensive lol.

I am obsessed with how obnoxious the Red Stars players are being with Naeher's retirement ceremony stuff. They seem to have a fun vibe there among players, despite the on-field results.

Just signed up for a recurring monthly donation. Northwest Harvest helps to keep my community fed 💜
enjohnston.bsky.social Emily Johnston @enjohnston.bsky.social · 3d
Washington state friends! Of all the grim things happening, one of the very grimmest is going into winter with SNAP benefits about to disappear. I'm trying to raise $10,000 between now and the week before Thanksgiving for Northwest Harvest.

Please donate if you can!
Solidarity Fund is raising funds for Northwest Harvest
Your gift ensures all Washingtonians can access the nutritious food they want & need.

right. given the numbers, “how to win back the working class” should be as much about care and service workers as hard hats. and yet.

It's my birthday, yay! (Pretend to be surprised that I'm a Scorpio, y'all know that's my vibe🦂)

I'm using the occasion to feed my students, many of whom rely on SNAP. Help me keep folks fed?

Costco also pays its employees relatively well, and some are unionized.

Sam's Club is part of Wal-Mart and Wal-Mart workers are among the largest recipients of SNAP in this country. Apparently, some Wal-Marts will help employees fill out SNAP applications as part of their HR paperwork. When people start going hungry on Nov 1 part of the reason is companies underpay them

Is Sam's Club better than Costco?
