Mountain Dew changing the taste of their sodas with the new product packaging/ labels is criminal.

The ingredient lists are the same, but there is an undeniable flavor difference between old and new, and even a color difference (we've tested cans w/regular & Baja Blast).

Sad day 😭

Also, the “store owner” replied to my Google review quite literally telling me to message Sam’s Club on Facebook…since when is that normal?! No email? No phone number? No way for a person to address this locally in any way when the manager didn’t know what to do? What about people who don’t use FB?

‼️PSA for EBT users who shop at Sam’s Club

Sam’s Club has knowingly been charging tax on discounted EBT eligible food items at locations throughout the U.S., at minimum, for the last two years.

I personally fell victim & had to file a report w/ the Office of the Inspector General (USDA) & UT State

Correction, per a Sep 2024 report from SSA: “…the Office of the Chief Actuary estimates that approximately 30,000 people died in 2023 while waiting for their disability decisions, while their application…was pending a decision at the initial, reconsideration, or hearing levels.”

I just came to realize that a few people in the Chiari Malformation Community obviously need a firm educational reminder that “Z*pperh**d” is a very well-known slur against Asian people.

Shame on Ann Hood, especially.

My little Valentine’s Day baby turned 1 year old today! 🥰

Got her lots of edible goodies from Pet Supplies Plus and 3 new toys— including a Llamacorn. I’m so grateful to have this little nugget in my life. Here’s to many more birthdays, Sheik 🥳🩵 #ServiceDog #GermanShepherd #DogBirthday

Paying a lot of money for rent & never getting basic accommodations that would’ve made this place actually livable? Hell no.

Dealing w/discrimination, dude? Hell NO.

This year generally being really wild & incredibly difficult? HELL NO!

But BANANA BREAD for fucking breakfast, dude? HELL YEAH! 😋

Words of wisdom from the veterinarian’s office 🤣 Reminds me of that damn ass rock kid, haha

On a serious note, both Zelda and Sheik did wonderfully, as always. Blessed to have the best doggos 🥰

I absolutely love urban art, so seeing this adorable Psyduck chalk drawing on the sidewalk totally made my day 🥰 What a treat to be able to see something like sidewalk art in December!

It’s the little things, y’know? 🩵

Y’know, wrongfully taking the page down is one thing; I could deal with that.

However, what has been nearly impossible to cope with is the incessant notifications from FB via the page about how I “can” do this or that, when I actually cannot. No option for appeal. No chat support. Just bs.

So, Facebook will continue to taunt me with certain notifications for the page, but have yet to make any sort of action in giving it back.

Fitting that they’d remove a queer disabled Indigenous admin’s page during Indigenous American Heritage Month, tho 😒

Our Facebook page got Zucc’d exactly 10 minutes after sharing FB/Meta’s own ToS changes.

The page is suspended. The post that made it happen is on our website. Zero clue if we’ll be able to get it back
