If I can get $400 to clear rent ASAP, that would be welcomed. I am really losing it. I cannot afford to be out on the streets with my medical condition.

It really is depressing. And then somehow I feel bad for needing the food bank AND for having dietary restrictions, you know? I'm sorry. (AND for needing a ride there..)

Although one time they gave me 3 pounds of cubed cheddar cheese and I lived like a king. I still think about it.

Holy hell thank you for this. Getting rides to the food bank used to be a whole THING for me. (And then you get there and everything is made of peanuts anyway lol)

hand_to_eye @delightw2023.bsky.social · 1d

Today I tried to find out how many ppl on #SNAP have no car of their own and the most current information is from 2015.

In 2015 33% of SNAP households did not have a car, something often required to access food banks. I am sure those numbers have changed.

Just got a message from my landlady telling me that she can wait no longer for me to finish off the rent; she needs it NOW or I will be forced out tonight if not tomorrow morning.

This is not a joke. This is really serious. Help is needed right now.

Brace for another wave of x refuges

& What's happening: Elon Musk confirmed that X will delete all heuristics from its recommendation system within six weeks. In other words, the familiar logic of likes, replies, and reposts that shaped Twitter for years is about to disappear. In its place, Grok, the platform's in-house Al model, will read and watch more than one hundred million posts
and videos every day to decide what users see. At the same time, X is testing a new interface that keeps users inside the app even when they open external links.

How this hits reality: This marks the first time a major social platform has handed full control of content discovery to an Al model.
Engagement farms, trend-hacking accounts, and traditional growth tactics may soon lose their edge. The new winners will be those who write in ways that Grok interprets as engaging, turning social media optimization into a new form of prompt engineering. This shift could reshape influencer strategies, ad targeting, and even political communication in a matter of weeks.
• Key takeaway: X did not just change its algorithm; it replaced it with an Al reader.
Your reach will soon depend on how fluently you can speak Grok.

If you're looking for an action to take tomorrow that can help protect millions of people regardless of their immigration status, call your governor to demand a ban on utility shutoffs this winter. Every state has slightly different policy– we got you covered.

Here's your guide to fighting utility shutoffs this winter. W/o the gov't open, few to no states will have funds for emergency bill payment program LIHEAP.

I'm starting to see multiple threads where bluesky folks are trying to raise money for their local food banks because of the shutdown of SNAP starting November 1... can we get a thread going for people to find each other? Drop your link and put your city in front, let's coordinate city by city!

stole this from someone on fb.

screenshot from meta ai: Who are the two people in the photo? The two people in the photo are characters from the tv show "Our Flag Means Death." Based on the context of the post, it seems they're likely Stede Bontez, played by Taika Waititi, and Blackbeard, played by Ed Sheeran, or possibly another couple from the show, but without more specific details about the image, it's hard to pinpoint exactly who they are. The show is known for its historical fiction and pirate-themed storyline with a strong focus on the relationship between Stede and Blackbeard. Does that help?
