CALIFORNIA: NEW SNAP FORMULA

*Determining Eligibility*

Under federal rules, to be eligible for SNAP benefits a household’s income and resources must meet these tests, though income and asset limits are higher for households that are categorically eligible for SNAP, and most states have raised income and asset limits using “broad-based categorical eligibility.”

*Gross monthly income*

Household income before any of the program’s deductions are applied — generally must be at or below 130 percent of the poverty line. For a family of three, the poverty line used to calculate SNAP benefits in federal fiscal year 2026 is $2,221 a month. Thus, 130 percent of the poverty line for a three-person family is $2,888 a month, or about $34,656 a year. The poverty level is higher for bigger families and lower for smaller families.

*Net income, or household income*

after deductions are applied, you must be at, or below the poverty line.
Assets must fall below certain limits: households without a member who is aged 60 or older or has a disability must have assets of $3,000 or less; households with such a member must have assets of $4,500 or less.

How to Find Out If You Can Get Help From SNAP:

If you would like help from SNAP, contact your local human services office. The staff there will work with you to find out if you qualify.

You can also contact your state human services agency if you have questions about your benefit or to update your information if one of the following applies, as it may increase your benefit:

If you recently lost income; or
If you experienced a recent increase in certain expenses, or you think the state doesn’t know about these expenses: housing or child care costs, child support payments, or if someone in your household who is aged 60 or older or has a disability has monthly medical expenses of $35 or more.

Example Online:
.5 x max income allowed
-.3 x net monthly income

Seems to work out mathematically to about half of your original allotment.

I HOPE THIS HELPS 😀

Most families and individuals who meet the program’s income guidelines are eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly the Food Stamp Program).

“The Ringing Rocks Situation is Crazy”
This is a video by Levi McClain that explores the Ringing Rocks in Pennsylvania and the music played there. The video includes discussions about the rocks' musical properties, the history of music played at the rocks, and the possibility of the rocks changing pitch over time.

What's in the video?

Lithophones The rocks at Ringing Rocks Park are natural lithophones, which ring like bells when struck
Music A physician and part-time musician named John J. Aught performed at the rocks in 1880, including an original composition called "Sounds from the Ringing Rocks"
Pitch changes Some question whether the rocks' pitch has changed over time
Erosion The rocks are subject to erosion, which is the wearing away of earthly materials by natural forces
Human impact Human activity, such as chipping away at the rocks with hammers, may be altering their tones
Additional information

The rocks are located in Ringing Rocks Park, a geological site with trails around a field of ancient Diabase boulders
The rocks are located a couple miles off the water on the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware River

🤳 AMAZON PRIME SETTLEMENT

Amazon agreed to a $2.5 billion deal resolving FTC claims it “tricked and trapped” users into Prime and made cancelation hard; many U.S. consumers who enrolled between June 23, 2019 and June 23, 2025—or tried and failed to cancel—can receive up to about $51, with some getting automatic refunds and others required to file a claim when notified

🤑 How to get paid:

Automatic refunds: Certain customers who enrolled via a challenged flow and used limited Prime benefits should get an automatic refund for membership fees paid, capped around $51, with no claim form needed after final approval.
Claims process: Others—such as those with slightly higher usage or those who unsuccessfully tried to cancel—will be prompted by email, mail, or a settlement website to submit a claim within the stated window.
Expect the settlement administrator to handle notifications and processing, with payments following final court approval; keep an eye on official communications to avoid scams.
Timing and next steps
Consumers should watch for official notices after final approval, then either do nothing (if told an automatic refund is coming) or submit the claim by the stated deadline via the official settlement portal.
Payments are anticipated after approval and processing; the administrator will outline specific timelines in the notice and on the settlement site.

Amazon’s $2.5 billion settlement includes $1.5 billion for customer refunds; here’s who’s eligible, who isn’t, and how automatic payouts and claims will work after court approval.

~METHYLENE BLUE~
(Take a look at this)

👉 How methylene blue works and its “off-label” uses:

Energy Backup: Methylene blue acts like a "backup generator" for your cells’ energy factories (mitochondria). When part of the energy production line (specifically "Complex I") breaks down—due to toxins, disease, or aging—methylene blue moves electrons directly to later stages of the energy-making process, allowing cells to keep producing energy (ATP) even when parts of the system are damaged.

Oxidative Stress Reduction:

👉 It acts like a molecular sponge, soaking up harmful molecules called reactive oxygen species (ROS) that damage cells. By neutralizing these destructive molecules, it reduces oxidative stress—a key contributor to aging and diseases like Alzheimer’s.

It also blocks caspase-6, an enzyme that drives brain inflammation and kills neurons in Alzheimer’s patients.(3) Think of it as a two-in-one protector: it calms oxidative damage while stopping the enzyme that fuels brain cell death.

👍Promising Off-Label Applications:

Neurodegenerative diseases: Low doses enhance cerebral metabolism, improving outcomes in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s models. It also reduces swelling in traumatic brain injury victims.

👎Chronic fatigue and Long COVID:

Due to its ability to reduce oxidative stress and promote mitochondrial function, methylene blue shows promise in relieving long COVID symptoms.
Septic shock and vasoplegic syndrome: By inhibiting nitric oxide synthase, it restores vascular tone.

👎 Malaria adjunct therapy:

It disrupts Plasmodium metabolism, reducing parasitemia.

The Amazing Properties of Methylene BlueFirst used in the 1800s as a textile dye, visionary physician Paul Ehrlich discovered methylene blue’s antimicrobial properties against malaria—making this the first synthetic drug in modern medicine.(1) Today, this century-old compound is FDA-approved for...
