Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., utility gets thanks for helping neighbours in northern Michigan
Despite current political tensions between Canada and the United States, Rob Brewer says he didn’t think twice when he was asked to send a hydro crew south of the border to assist after a winter storm hammered parts of northern Michigan.

“They fired everybody, there’s nobody left to do anything,” said Mark Wolfe, executive director of the National Energy Assistance Directors Association, which works with states to secure funding from the program. “Either this was incredibly sloppy, or they intend to kill the program altogether.”

USDA Cuts $1 Billion in Local Food Funding: Schools, Farmers, and Food Banks Brace for Impact

The #USDA has terminated two programs, #LocalFood for #Schools and #LocalFood#Purchase #Assistance, resulting in a $1 billion cut to local food purchases for schools and #Food Banks. This decision, made under the #Trump administration, has faced opposition from various #stakeholders, including #students, #parents, #teachers, #farmers, and #Democratic leaders, who argue it will negatively impact #ChildNutrition and #LocalEconomies. Advocates urge contacting elected officials and supporting alternative funding for local #FoodInitiatives.

Please help my dear friend Derrick “Baseck” Estrada get back on his feet after a horrific road collision with a semi-truck took the life of his dear friend Láwû Mango and destroyed most of his music gear as he was moving to settle in a new home.

I can’t stress enough how his creativity, genuine love of his craft and community have been benefiting the Los Angeles music scene ever since I met him in 2007. He needs our help.

Someone had posted a while back about a study about violence perpetuated by men. Even “good men” who will use intimidation, physical, verbal or emotional abuse and sometimes even violence in order to get their way. These men didn’t know sometimes that they were using forms of violence, and when they did, it was unanimous that the reason was because it worked for them and society allows it.

I can’t find the link anymore as I somehow deleted the bookmark. If anyone has any reference as to what I’m talking about I’d love it if you’d send it my way! My partner and I were having a discussion and I brought it up thinking I still had it.

Thanks a plenty!

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

We were born for cooperation, like feet, like hands, like eyelids, like the rows of upper and lower teeth. So to work against each other is contrary to nature; and resentment and rejection count as working against someone.
 
[γεγόναμεν γὰρ πρὸς συνεργίαν ὡς πόδες, ὡς χεῖρες, ὡς βλέφαρα, ὡς οἱ στοῖχοι τῶν ἄνω καὶ κάτω ὀδόντων. τὸ οὖν ἀντιπράσσειν ἀλλήλοις παρὰ φύσιν: ἀντιπρακτικὸν δὲ τὸ ἀγανακτεῖν καὶ ἀποστρέφεσθαι.]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 2, ch. 1 (2.1) [tr. Gill (2013)]

Hey folks
We really need some help here.
The money situation is dire. Still not as bad as if we had to forfeit thousands a month to landlords and fixed utilities. But dire. Please spread the word to those with currency who can assist.

I have Ko-Fi, Paypal, Zelle, Patreon, CashApp and Wise available. I can set up other means if needed. Please DM to ask for more details, whether for you or an anonymous donor's behalf.

Thank you <3

,,,can we count on you to join us in urging #Congress to do its job, assert its #constitutional authority over funding, and stop this dangerous attack on the #healthcare, food #assistance, and #education programs that millions depend on? click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u

click.actionnetwork.orgTell Congress: Don't let Trump get away with cutting off aidPresident Trump is acting like a dictator. He’s trying to single-handedly gut the government – with a reckless, vague, and unconstitutional order that will derail critical lifelines for Americans in need. The good news is, the Constitution is on our side. The Framers gave Congress – NOT the president – the power of the purse to fund what people care about most, like housing, jobs, health, and education. I just signed a Common Cause petition urging Congress to do its job and stand up against Trump's attempts gut the government -- and I hope you will, too.

From #Reuters: "A U.S. judge on Tuesday temporarily paused part of the ... administration's sweeping directive to pause #federal loans, grants and other #financial #assistance, granting a win to advocacy groups who said the policy would be devastating. At a hearing in Washington, D.C., federal court, U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan ordered the ... administration not to block 'open awards,' or funds that were already slated to be disbursed, until at least Feb. 3." tinyurl.com/mt6vxumx

On January 12 I was in a car accident which is likely to total my car and left me with a broken sternum. The process of applying for other aid is going to take time I don’t have so I am hoping many people can pitch in a little to make things go a little smoother.

It is so hard for me to ask for help as I am usually the one rendering it.

The picture is me holding the pillow I use to splint my chest any time I need to cough, sneeze, or move in a way that could aggravate the fracture.

Thank you for anything you can do 💗
