Not even 11am and I’ve already dealt with my first curveball of the day.
Not a family thing. Not a food thing. No. I had to help neutralize a WASP in my upstairs so the kitties didn’t get stung.
It is NOVEMBER. There is SNOW on the ground. There was a WASP in my house 😫

The thought of going back to my pre-medication makes me sick to my stomach.
I was never violent. I was never homicidal or even suicidal. Just in a constant state of turmoil and dread. I did not know peace for TWENTY EIGHT YEARS.
You know what does stoke violence though? Right-wing bullshit

First they came for reproductive rights.
Then they came for vaccines.
Now they’re coming for mental health.
There is zero evidence SSRIs cause mass violence.
You know what does? Guns — and the fact that anyone can access weapons that kill hundreds in seconds.

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

NIMBYism is often discussed in terms of folks protecting their property values/nest egg. And I am sure that is a big part of it. But I suspect "I don't like change" and a healthy dose of racism and xenophobia are the biggest drivers.

That’s the kind of kneejerk dismissive advice that makes me violent. Telling people to just grow their own food is tantamount to telling them to eat cake.
On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

Really, any group event.
Monthly civic org meeting? Food drive.
Board games at your house? Food drive.
Book club? Food drive.
Etc.
From what I've read, the SNAP expiration - especially atop the already enacted dismantling of federal funds to pantries - is pretty much apocalyptic.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.
