A win! A judge in Oregon ruled that the Trump administration may not withhold emergency preparedness funding from states that declined to submit updated population counts accounting for deportations, because population estimates are the responsibility of the U.S. Census Bureau; not the states.

Y’all I’ve been so so very sick this year.
I’m amazed that I’m still here.
I want to tell you the biggest value that I hold onto and that held me in place is kindness.
Kindness of “strangers”!here from friends I met on Twitter, kindness from my found “family”.
I am so GRATEFUL for kindness.

Y’all, I was just thinking about Tinu . She was so unwell herself but she spent so much of what became the last of her life trying to help disabled people who needed to crowd fund to live.
I was offline during and for 8 days after Helene and when I came back, she had passed.
May she rest well.

I bought these size small compression gloves from @bibiblossoms.bsky.social to replace my old pair and they arrived last week! These are very comfy and snug, providing gentle pain relief while also being a really cute color. They arrived quickly too. I am located in the US and they came in 11 days!

Trying to manage & heal CPTSD in an environment where you're still exposed to traumatic stressors is a b*tch-- but you're not screwed. All the recovery tools, especially managing your self talk, mental focus, & physiology, will help.
Be realistic & gentle w/ yourself.

When people hurt sometimes they strike out and cause other’s pain.
We can make a decision to be mindful when we hurt, to be still and quiet until we can move with grace and intention.
We can DECIDE not to multiply our pain or spread it beyond ourselves.

With gift season coming please do not waste your money getting a zillions gift card!
It looks like it is able to be used at lots of places but you can only use it to buy questionable things on their site.
Someone gave me one and I KNOW they meant well.
This thing wasted their money for sure. Scammy

Lots of reporting on SNAP getting the details wrong.
SNAP is not set to run out of money on November 1. There’s money in the contingency fund to pay benefits.
The Trump admin is illegally refusing to deliver benefits on November 1, despite having funding to pay benefits.
