Some food banks report they've already pulled back on what they’re offering, as federal cuts, rising food prices and heightened demand drive deep worries about the future.
Washington’s food banks are on the brink
Food banks already face high demand and difficult choices about how much they can stay open and what food they can hand out. Many are also burning through reserves they built up during the COVID era, when more donations were rolling in to help people struggling to buy food.

Very interesting thread on the history and complexity of studying human chromosomal sex biology! Deeply unfortunate much of this nuance is lost when those with reactionary political agendas speak out against 🏳️⚧️ people…
In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes.
So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity.
