Excellent piece from the #AVLWatchdog about #Manna #FoodBank our supplier of groceries to 225 organizations here in #WNC

Cuts to #SNAP & the 2 programs that helped organizations like Manna purchase fresh food from local farmers have cut deeply into their funding, and this is AFTER Helene completely destroyed their warehouse and all of their systems.

They've set up in a new location, & are trying, with community support, to meet the expanding need here for food.

This should be the role of government - to ensure its citizens are not hungry. My local community will not be able to bridge this shortfall.

Linyaps: Next-Gen Universal Package Manager for Linux github.com/OpenAtom-Linyaps/li

I forgot where I saw something about it yesterday, but it still sounds interesting. However, there were concerns about the Chinese origin of Linyaps. I am curious to see if we will hear more about this in the future.

Why am I on Mastodon? B/c the white Christian boy from the Bible belt never had to #resist anything.

We were in poverty, but my family gladly used #Section8 #Medicaid #Tenncare #FoodStamps #SNAP and #EBT

Now the #AmericanChurchTM hates the poor & I don't know how to #organize, subvert power structures or resist

So we'll learn from the #BIPOC and #Queer community & those who have spent time #protest ing & resisting

We'll figure out #Zines #mutualAid #bailfunds #harmreduction #directaction

"The Trump administration on Monday approved six additional states seeking to ban food stamp recipients from purchasing processed food.

Colorado, Louisiana, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Texas and Florida received federal waivers to adjust Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) guidelines outlawing the purchase of junk food with state funds in 2026."
