Janet Ingraham Dwyer @janetid.bsky.social · 30/03/2025Cross-posted. Apparently some sports fans know this; I just accidentally discovered wearing latex gloves lets you clap REALLY loud. There must be an application for this in the resistance. And if not, it's super fun to clap & dance along with your favorite songs, & that too is an act of resistance. 000

Janet Ingraham Dwyer @janetid.bsky.social · 22/03/2025We were a little hungry on Wed and Thu, though we paced ourselves and ended up with leftovers. I had to confront some privileges - such as my assumptions that snacks are always available, that dessert is daily, that coffee with sugar/cream is a "necessity" - over 3 days with none of the above. 000
Janet Ingraham Dwyer @janetid.bsky.social · 22/03/2025Andy and I participated in #SNAPChallenge25. From Tue-Thu we ate only what we'd purchased for $36, to raise our and others' awareness of the realities of trying to feed oneself and one's family on the avg. $6/person/day SNAP benefit. More in comments. #HandsOffSNAP #FRAC 210
Janet Ingraham Dwyer @janetid.bsky.social · 17/03/2025FRAC’s SNAP Challenge WHO: You! WHAT: Spend the average SNAP benefit of $6 per person per day for groceries WHEN: March 18 – 20 WHERE: Spread the word on social, in your community, and with policy makers WHY: Some in Congress are proposing cuts to SNAP. This would deepen America’s hunger crisis. 062
