Per NPR: over 4M people have lost SNAP food assistance since last summer. Nationally, participation is down 11%, and bigger changes hit in October. There's no replacement for SNAP: for every meal we provide, SNAP provides nine. Get the facts: feedingamerica.org/snapfacts

Shout out to the dude at the gym who managed to take up like half of the weight section and also banged his weights every time like sir…if you can’t let the weights down nicely maybe they’re too heavy for you

Wrapping up the final bits of my nonprofit job this morning feels wild. The job was a lot but it also represents what I hope will be the final chapter of that career path.

Part of repairing my relationship with movement as a thing that makes me feel good and has a positive impact on my mental health vs a thing that I have to do as penance for having a fat body is figuring out when I avoid a work out bc I’m tired vs when I avoid it bc I’m anxious, I learned today

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Half Assing It Pin. Can you imagine whole assing something? In this economy? No thank you. collabs.shop/1orb5r

A round enamel pin featuring a white background, gold rim, and the text "HALF ASSING IT" in blue arched across the top. Inside, an illustration shows a lower torso wearing a blue thong, split vertically: one half is solid skin-toned, while the other half is outlined with dotted lines like a diagram.

A few years back I talked to the only two living members of the Craig League - they have since passed away - and went deep into the history of the first-ever women’s soccer league in the USA (or was it?) - @meglinehan.com with the assist on this one. www.nytimes.com/athletic/345...

Long before Title IX, there was a women's soccer league in St. Louis that has had a far-reaching impact on the game

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

A poster on 8.5 x 11 inch paper saga Fishtown fish facts: red lipped catfish or of ocephalus Darwini. Then a pic of that freaky fish with 4 limbs it rests on the ground and then the words “stg this fish real red-lipped batfish walk ocean floor with they flippers RLBF have RBF, not they fault
RLBF have a bioluminescent lure that glows to attract dinner
RLBF lipgloss is popping, RLBF lipgloss is cool, all the fish keep jockin, they chase RLBF after school
RLBF got scales like armor and shine bright like a diamond
Red-lipped batfish will teach you how to dougie, I can promise u that.
