Adding to the SNAP discussion —

I was just officially notified that November benefits will be delayed, BUT

They also mentioned that anything remaining on your card may not be available either.

This might vary from state to state.

But don’t count on it being there.

Use all of it in October.

Bringing this over from The Other Place because it bears repeating.

Things Jamie x Claire have in common with Caitriona + Sam:
-LIBERAL
-PROGRESSIVE
-POLITICAL
-HUMANITARIAN
-ACTIVISTS

If you've been an Outlander fan for this long and STILL don't understand this, try watching with your eyes open ✌️

A promotional photo for Outlander Season 7A. It features Jamie Fraser (played by Sam Heughan) and Claire Fraser (played by Caitriona Balfe) standing at the forefront with an American Revolutionary War battle scene in the background. Behind Jamie is a Union Jack and behind Claire is a Cowpens Flag.

A photo of Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan for Parade Magazine. Caitriona has her long brunette hair down, styled with bangs and is wearing a red and black dress. Her left hand, bearing a gold bangle, is tucked across her body. Sam has dark blonde hair and is wearing a brown suede jacket over a black shirt. His left hand, bearing a black watch, is tucked into his pants pocket. Sam's right hand is holding Caitriona's right hand over her right shoulder.

It’s actually showing me content that’s related to my boards/pins?! 🤯

Not just AI crap and things I’ve already pinned?!

Way to go listening to feedback, Pinterest! ❤️

Heyyy, the GenAI filters/settings change is available with the new Pinterest app update.

No idea if it’ll make any sizable difference… but it’s something? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I just saw a post of a #NoKings protest in small town North Carolina and I’m just gonna pretend that it’s next door to Fraser’s Ridge. (Plz share if/when someone does a fanfic of this)

#NoKings

A collage of four images of a brunette woman and a redheaded man in eighteenth century clothing from the tv show Outlander: On the left, they stand facing each other with a yellow tent in the background. She is wearing a dirty, canvas apron. On the right, the top image is of the man standing in front of a canon and the American flag. The middle image is of the couple standing together. The man is wearing a tricorn hat and a military uniform. The bottom image is of the woman standing next to a clothes line.

Simply cannot get over how the little girl they cast as bby Claire looks so much like bby Caitriona herself 🥹🤏

[insert awe-inspired comment about flawless aging here]

Two images of the same brunette woman, side by side. On the left, she’s wearing a black leather jacket over a black dress. On the right, she’s wearing a black blazer over a black dress.

Happy Twelve Year Anniversary to the very first day of filming Outlander!!

What a journey it's been since then. I'm so grateful we've gotten to witness this amazing story come to life 🥹🥰

A four photo collage.
Top left: Caitriona Balfe holding a sign that says "DAY 1". Her hair is curly and backlit by the sun.
Top right: Sam Heughan in an warehouse examining a prop gun. You can see he is wearing Clan MacKenzie tartan. Other cast stand in the background.
Bottom left: Sam and Caitriona taking a selfie. Sam's costume and face are half soaked in blood and he is holding on to the reins of a horse whose head you can see in the background. Caitriona is half out of frame, but her curly hair and smile are still evident.
Bottom right: Sam and Caitriona standing next to each other. Sam's costume and face are still bloody. Caitriona has a winter coat draped over her shoulders and she is holding a cartoon owl-shaped hot water bottle close to her chest.

I’m seeing a new gastroenterologist tomorrow

They are the only provider in my clinic system that my insurance will cover

The last time I tried to see a specialist locally for my rare, chronic illness, it did not go well

The bar for the dr is “don’t be a jerk”

That’s it

The bar is on the floor 🫠

This is more or less what the American Revolution was about

Andy Craig @andycraig.bsky.social · 22d

"I'll just go use official force to coercively raise my own revenue (a/k/a taxes!) and then spend it on whatever government stuff I decide I want to do" is complete and total executive tyranny, Congress reduced to nothing but a powerless sham legislature, a head of state with absolute power.

Me: DANG, why is my heart rate so crazy today?!
Also Me: Perhaps — and I’m just spitballing here — it was the extra shot of espresso you had in your celebratory mocha this morning after getting your labs done?!
Me: …Yeah, that would do it. 💀
