My SNAP benefits for November arrived. Spreading word for others to check your balances as well. I don't want to assume everyone is getting theirs, but I can confirm that mine arrived.

I don't think many people comprehend exactly how incredibly calculated it was for them to choose SNAP to cut.
Comments like, "You should eat what you get, stop being picky," come from a deeply false notion that poor people choose poverty. If you're giving people food while making these comments, you're not helping. You're resenting us, not the system that made/keeps us poor.
If you're helping out folks who aren't getting SNAP next month (and possibly beyond), remember: 🧵
FYI: in some states you can purchase hot foods. In CA, for example, you can use SNAP at several fast food chains. That said, hot restaurant food is more expensive than at a grocery store is more expensive than a microwave at a convenience store. All are vital.
Another FYI If you're homeless, you don't have a kitchen. SNAP can't be used for prepared food. Convenience stores sell frozen food and have microwaves. As the law stands, EBT cards at convenience stores are a lifeline for the most poor.
The SNAP Food Challenge is still a thing? Where financially stable people cosplay being poor for a month? You can't begin to know or display legislated poverty. Delete your: "I'm having lentil soup for 3 days this week" stunt posts & go. They're insulting.
Annual Halloween reminder: Disability is not a costume. It's an identity, a culture, a person's fact of life. Don't cosplay disability tomorrow. Or ever.
