These days, it’s rare for me to read about or hear something in the “big world” that delights me in a genuine way. But today I learned that Avery Trufelman (Articles of Interest) and Derek Guy aka “The Menswear Guy” (@dieworkwear.bsky.social) are collaborating on a new series and I’m just… 🥳🎉🙌🏾🎊🍾

People should use their SNAP benefits for whatever they think they need. Both because any effort you make to micromanage purchases is inefficient and cumbersome and because people who need help aren’t obligated to perform for or satisfy others in order to eat.

I keep thinking about how SNAP subsidizes American farmers and feeds American children and their families and cuts to SNAP will fuck farmers and starve children and their families and that's a pretty batshit thing to actively want to do

“Just go to a food bank, a church or a charity” For every meal the food bank provides, the SNAP program provides 9. Even if donations are rapidly scaled up, they won’t be able to meet the needs of 42 million Americans who are about to go hungry. It’s not sustainable.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

Good Afternoon!
Panel 1: a guy asks "Peaceful protest seems pointless. Why should I go?". Another guy next to him wearing a tie smiling says "Good Question"
Panel 2: a crowd of people is seen holding signs that read "No kings" and "Fuck trump". The guy in the tie continues "Peaceful protest ALONE isn't going to fix things but it helps in many ways. Starting by a show of numbers"
Panel 3: "But the importna thing is it allowes you to find likeminded groups/people to plan future evens like boycotts, strikes, and good trouble"a small guy on the sidewalk points at another small guy and says "Be friend?" the other small guy says "Accept!"
Panel 4: The guy wearing the tie points to the viewer and says "If YOU"RE looking to get more out of a peaceful protest; DO THE SIDE QUESTS"
the other guy says "who are you talking to?"

I constantly draw strength from the fact that my parents grew up when it was worse than this. When white people were lynching people in the streets and bombing Black churches and integrated schools. And they still did not live in fear. My parents thrived, loved, and lived. And I can too.

Eugenicists could’ve said that having sex upside down during a full moon would produce a superhuman, because they weren’t studying science. The point is that epigenetic research—actual molecular biology—seeks to understand what’s happening inside of our cells.

You described an epigenetic process while dismissing epigenetics. Stress triggering gene expression IS how epigenetics works. The researcher wants to know if it’s heritable. Epigenetics = studying gene expression. Eugenics = breeding ideology. Different things entirely.

Liberty Vote explicitly says it will align with Trump’s executive order on elections (the one federal judges blocked as unconstitutional.) Stephen Miller said OUT LOUD that Trump has “plenary authority” (unlimited power). The combo platter of these two things is making my stomach turn.
