Neighbor shielded 7-year-old during South Shore federal raid: ‘I didn’t want them to take her’

Pseudo 🎃 @thepseudosapien.bsky.social · 4h

Oh and Judgement is interesting, it feels like a short college film in that it's heavy on aesthetics but with some hefty and rather enthusiastic misunderstandings (or reimaginings I suppose) of the source material, it's worth a watch for the shiggles.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Lol scratching's always been a concern for me so I make sure she has many appropriate scratchables and her own office chair, and SO FAR she's left sofas and my office chair alone, save for the occasional pluck for attention when I'm being boring (& it's thick cord so hopefully the texture's bleh😂).

Inferno has its charms, cowboy hell ninjas notwithstanding lol, and the reimagining with Jamie Clayton is beautiful even if I don't adore the plot, so it's not aaaall downhill hopefully.

I've been a hardcore Hellraiser fan since I was ten and Bloodline is still one of my faves, all the hate is silliness, it's like three movies for the price of one lol.🤘

New couch came and blessedly did fit through all the doors and it's so soft and warm and big that it incapacitated me for a few hours; Very goooood. Also ended up getting the movers into @redlettermedia.com , they came in as I was rewatching the great Nukie shredding of '22 & needed to know more.😆

Being someone who'll put a load of stuff in a basket & leave it for ages due to spending-anxiety, I like how many places will shove a discount code at you after a week like some kind of slo-mo haggle lol, damn right take 80 quid off my mattress. If they're gonna fleece me, least they can do is beg.👍

have been desperately looking for this old erotic Spanish comic I stumbled on almost 10 years ago called "El secreto de Frankenstein" and I'm so happy to report I finally found it

black & white comic panel depicting a sexy, thicc Frankenstein's monster disrobing in 3 different poses - pulling his shirt of his shoulder, seen at an angle; from the front, shirtless, beginning to take his pants off; then almost totally nude as seen from behind. the words at the top read "Strip-tease de Frankenstein..."

Bro I've already committed, shut uuup.

Decided to see if that new Ed Gein show was any good & I can't tell much so far except that casting Sheldon Cooper's mom as Augusta was genius lol, Laurie Metcalf just nails that whole potentially dangerous religiosity vibe beautifully.

Lol yeeaah, it does feel like a lot of people don't actually consider "This will help me achieve my goals by drastically altering how my body reacts to what I put into it as part of a health plan", and lean more towards "Magic thin juice make body skinny while I carry on as normal, yes good".
