Members of Congress are living off food stamps for a week to protest Republican cuts. It’s a challenge for them, but GOP cuts would hurt millions of everyday Americans.
Why does this not have more publicity. This needs it!
Signal boosting this A) because it deserves to be seen by more people, and b) because I appreciate some members of Congress are actually willing to see what it’s like living on food stamps in order to make their point about how horrifying cutting food stamps would be.
News flash, regressives: people on food stamps do not load up on Snickers bars and filet mignon. They’re limited in what they can buy, and oftentimes, it’s not enough to get by on. Go on thinking these are entitlements that let minorities live lives of luxury, comfortable in the knowledge that you’ll never go hungry.
You privileged, elitist pricks.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Huh! How about that!
90% of the people that came into my grocery store over 3 years picked up carts full of soda, snickers bars, chips and grab legs to name a few. Leave your imaginary world.

I don’t think you read the actual point of that paragraph? “it’s not enough to get by on. Go on thinking these are entitlements that let minorities live lives of luxury”
It doesn’t sound like you think that, so there’s no need to get defensive!
There’s no doubt that people buy a lot of “junk food” with food stamps. But that’s because it’s cheap, and because we have a long way to go as far as food and nutrition education in this country.

Is this the glammest or what!
I’m curious about something.
How many of you came to the DC or Marvel universes initially through either the films, or animated series?
Did you fall in love with superheroes through comics, or was your first real exposure to them from other media?
And finally, specifically, does your love for a certain character or team stem in any way from film or animation, by which I mean, are you a Batman or X-men fan, for example, at least partially due to the films or cartoons?
This is for a reason…thanks!
I actually became a comics fan as an adult, after my then-boyfriend convinced me to watch the Brian Singer movies. I really enjoyed them (sure, they’re flawed, but I was fascinated by the world), and ended up reading Marvel as a result of that.
Cosplay played a part in my DC conversion: I dressed as Black Canary originally because the costume was easy to make and I wanted to dress up with my friends Psykitten Pow, LTC America et al. I picked up the GA/BC comic that was ongoing at the time to do research. And then I got TOTALLY hooked. Man, that was a great comic. :)
