people who say "well trump was president in 2016 you'll live 🤓" do not realize tens of thousands of people died because he downplayed a pandemic and women today are dying because of the 3 supreme court justices he appointed
So, I spoke to people getting food at a food bank and here are some things I learned from those in need:
1. Everyone donates Kraft Mac and Cheese in the box. They can rarely use it because it needs milk and butter which is hard to get from regular food banks.
2. Boxed milk is a treasure, as kids need it for cereal which they also get a lot of.
3. Everyone donates pasta sauce and spaghetti noodles.
4. They cannot eat all the awesome canned veggies and soup unless you put a can opener in too or buy pop tops.
5. Oil is a luxury but needed for Rice a-Roni which they also get a lot of.
6. Spices or salt and pepper would be a real Christmas gift.
7. Tea bags and coffee make them feel like you care.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. They fawn over fresh produce donated by farmers and grocery stores.
10. Seeds are cool in Spring and Summer because growing can be easy for some.
11. They rarely get fresh meat.
12. Tuna and crackers make a good lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper goes nowhere without ground beef.
14. They get lots of peanut butter and jelly but usually not sandwich bread.
15. Butter or margarine is nice too.
16. Eggs are a real commodity.
17. Cake mix and frosting makes it possible to make a child’s birthday cake.
18. Dishwashing detergent is very expensive and is always appreciated.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury and women will cry over that.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.
In all the years I have donated food at the Holidays, I bought what I thought they wanted, but have never asked. I am glad I did. If you are helping a Family this Christmas, maybe this can help you tailor it more. It does for me!
I’m seeing calls for allowing the MSU community to carry on campus, both from people online and even from a message painted on the Rock this morning. As an MSU employee and alum, I’d like to say a few words about this idea. 🧵1/12
A 10-year-old girl was denied abortion services in Ohio.

So no, I’m not ok with the Democratic Party’s response federally simply being “vote in November.”
Residents in my state can’t wait till November and 10-year-olds can’t vote.
Here’s what they should be doing.

Hello,
Republicans are mad because I am sharing this information. Too bad!
🚺⚧ Freedom of choice is an inalienable right. Your bodily autonomy belongs to you.

No irony here: I legitimately do not know how. Citizens are not allowed to vote directly on gun control, our reps are against it or ineffectual, the Supreme Court is in no way beholden to the public, and extremely harsh penalties were just passed for protesting them directly.
