The more people on Substack know this, the better.

There’s been a few articles this year about how they’re changing some of their backend logistics (at least in the US) and it’s going to make it nearly impossible for creators to leave with their subscribers. Can’t express how important it is for folks to go ahead and GO if they plan to.

The thing about credit reports and scores is that they are used for so much more than getting more credit. Landlords, employers, and other people in positions of power also weaponize you, so medical debt here can be catastrophe for your whole life.

New guidance will bar states from removing medical debt from people’s credit reports.

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

Imagine how much of a nazi you'd have to be for a headline to actually use the word "nazi" to describe you instead of "controversial views" or something

Yeah, they should

A Michigan elected official is married to a neo-Nazi. Some constituents have a problem with that.

Meghyn Booth says she didn’t know she was married to a neo-Nazi influencer, not exactly.

My family decorated with string lights in the 90s! I had M&M string lights my mom would hang over my bed every Christmas.

If that doesn't work half a mosquito dunk soaking in your watering can seems to do the trick (you water with the mosquito dunk tea)

Honestly I'll have to ask. I know my friend lives with family who eat gluten, but she has her own toaster and cutting boards and probably other kitchen things. I might need to just buy some dedicated gluten free stuff for anything that's hard to fully decontaminate.

Vegan marshmallows. Strawberries. Literally just a bag of sugar. Tubs of maple syrup.

It turns out lettuce is moderately high in nickel 😂

Yeah, I'm trying to think of a sort of choose your own adventure situation. I'll have to completely deep clean the kitchen to make it celiac safe in any case, and we'd need a lot of different fillings to check all the boxes. Dessert? Uh.

I think so! I personally can't eat a lot of raw anything (I'm the low FODMAP person), but a single serving of plain iceberg lettuce with a side of rice is safe 🤣

Also two people who I have invited have strong food aversions to such things as zucchini and pasta.

Maybe it should be a dinner party where everyone just brings their own dinner 🤦🏻‍♀️

Me: I want to have a tiny gathering of my closest friends and family for my birthday, we can have dinner and relax.
The menu: needs to accommodate: low FODMAP, celiac, vegetarian, no nightshades, low nickel, allergies to dairy (all animals), oats, legumes, sweet potato, olive oil/olives, pineapple.
