When @heidilifeldman learned that food benefits were to be withheld in the U.S., she wanted to do something about it — and so she turned to the fediverse. She talked to Grapevine, the platform she used to facilitate a Giving Circle that has so far raised $14,000 for food banks, about mobilizing her @Mastodon community to help communities IRL.

Okay, that’s really bizarre.

The U.S. Army is reportedly recommending that American soldiers stationed in Germany go to the Tafel (a German food bank) because they’re no longer getting paid.

Right. Food banks are meant to support people in need. They’re already over capacity, and now soldiers from the richest country in the world are showing up? @randahl
