Just this week I took a shower and I paid some bills, so, sorry, still resting up - can't go to that concert today. substack.com/home/post/p-... p.s.: anyway nobody at that concert will mask against viruses like one that gave me ME #MyalgicE two decades ago or one that gives people #LOongCOVID now.

US Mint phases out penny, considers replacement $1 Trump coin with one cent value.
It’s time for Speaker Johnson to cut the ridiculous excuses and do his job. Adelita Grijalva won an election more than 6 weeks ago, and she still hasn’t been sworn in to represent more than 800,000 Arizonans. Read her op-ed:
I was elected 6 weeks ago. Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me in.
Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me into office, an unprecedented and starkly undemocratic position that sets a very dangerous precedent.

More than two dozen Democratic states are suing the Agriculture Department after the Trump administration said it would not use emergency funds to pay SNAP benefits during the shutdown. apple.news/AskAAwgj_QEa...

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP. A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify. I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.
i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.
“Real Simple” must think I’m simple. They keep pushing me to buy tawdry gimcracks from Target and Amazon. Don’t worry, I won’t. But I will jab at my phone until I get rid of “Real Simple.”

UPDATE: This summer, organizers said more than 5 million people participated in No Kings protests against President Trump. Organizers say they expect an even bigger turnout this time around.

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.
Eat the Rich. Healthcare must be a right. End Trump Shutdown.

Zach Weinersmith@zachweinersmith.bsky.social · 10mo agoDo you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
Protesting prone or from home? You are not alone! Survival is an act of defiance. #MyalgicE #LongCovid #Housebound #Bedridden #Parkinsons #OutSick #ChronicPain #ChronicIllness #AcuteIllness #COVID #Flu #Fibro #MEcfs #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis We are here.
#MEAction Network@meactnet.bsky.social · 10mo agoThe first half focuses on creating a more accessible protest and the second half focuses on attending an in-person protest safely. Today's thread is focusing on in-person but first a reminder- you matter! Your survival matters. Many actions can be taken from home, too!
Bad crash just keeps getting worse, it’s one thing after another on top of #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis but I need to post #solidarity with #NoKings and thank you all for staying sane and kind in a crazy mean time. House-bound crip marching in spirit. 💛🌼🐝🌻⭐️

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.
