If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

Did you know the average American taxpayer pays about $32 a year to provide SNAP benefits?

My latte this morning was $8. For the equivalent of 4 lattes a year, my taxes help a neighbor feed themselves and their children.

Maybe I'm soooooo woke and awful, but I'm happy to give $32 each year.

Just a reminder that tenure-track professors are usually paid 9 months out of 12, and that adjuncts are usually paid on a by-class basis, and none of that includes prep time or, for example, having to have your syllabus posted *45 days before the class*. Many folks are not *employed* then.

Robert Kelchen @robertkelchen.com · 5h

Florida's Board of Governors wants institutions to have course syllabi available 45 days before courses start. That raises serious issues about faculty calendars and adjuncts, and Georgia has moved to requiring syllabi at the time of student registration (!!!).

As an administrator, this is messy.

Florida wants to post more college syllabi online. Professors fear what's next.

University leaders in the Sunshine State want schools to post what textbooks, instructional materials and readings are required for most courses.

They're demonizing SNAP and other recipients of federal aid on right wing media.

Of 21 million federal aid beneficiaries, ~70% work full-time and 39% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. Critics need to ask Amazon and Walmart why they won't pay enough for their employees to survive w/o food stamps.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you have friends struggling through the shutdown, consider inviting them over for a family dinner this week. Make too much. Insist they take leftovers home. Some folks can't say they need help out loud but will appreciate the kindness.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · Sep 15

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting in front of a whiteboard, where Green has crudely illustrated a hole, a table at the bottom of the hole, and two foxes sitting on the opposite ends of the table. Holding a pointing stick, Green taps at the board, as Blue listens attentively.
Green: We dig a hole, and then set up our game table there.
Blue: Right.

Having drawn a cover over the hole, Green taps at the addition.
Green: Then we cover the top and wait for an unsuspecting victim.
Blue: Huh.

Green taps at the whiteboard again, pointing at the most recent addition to the drawing: A startled third fox falling through the cover at the top.
Green: Eventually someone will fall through.
Blue: I see.

Last, Green's illustration looks the same as it did in the first panel, save that there are now three foxes sitting at the table. Blue turns to look at Green with suspicion.
Green: And they'll have no choice but to play with us.
Blue: Are you sure this would work?
