afaik it isn't confirmed that SNAP is getting cut in november but there has been news of the potential due to the gov. shutdown. if u or loved ones rely on snap, i implore you to take advantage of programs like this!! local food pantries & soup kitchens too!!
The government said they aren’t releasing SNAP benefits in November — but ALDI is helping families out. Their Thanksgiving meal bundle feeds 10 people for just $40! 🦃 Available now through Christmas Eve, it includes 21 items (like a 14-lb turkey + sides). Share this with everyone!

In creative fields, compliment your coworkers’ work when you like it. Many have never had a coworker compliment their work before. A compliment is a show of professional trust and if you never show it then you’re a real crap
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

one of the less-discussed harms of the housing affordability crisis is how it makes escaping from abusive living situations borderline impossible. i'm not even just talking about teens, i mean folks well into their 20s and 30s who came of age into an impossible job market and can't afford to leave

ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday.
Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events.

What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez
Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

This may be controversial, but if you see someone stealing food, NO YOU DID NOT!
You don’t steal food for resale, you don’t steel food for the thrill, you steal food because you are hungry. So mind your own business if you see it.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.
While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

I don’t remember the exact timeline but I remember playing the entirety of Outer Worlds while recovering from top surgery. I don’t think I would have had the uninterrupted time to focus on that without being forced to be home recovering.
#DailyGamingDiscussion : Have you ever played a video game while severely ill, recovering from surgery, etc? Did it comfort you and help you get through that time? Does it still remind you of those days?

Meanwhile, here in Maine, AI crawlers have rendered the server that manages our statewide interlibrary loan unreachable by legitimate attempts to pass through requests/information
Again, but louder: the server can’t be reached by libraries and the folks trying to use them BECAUSE OF AI CRAWLERS.
