Yes and no! I’ve known I’d be starting this job for 1-2 months, but it’s not even going to cover 75% of my rent. So I am 100% still looking for a primary job that lets me have basic survival😭

ICE Whistles packed and ready to go.

If you want to make your own kits, the Pisen Arts & Community House has PDFs you can download and links to whistles (though often sold out, so get creative) linktr.ee/pilsenartsco...

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

In my opinion it’s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning

Judy Moody is such a good film.

I’m not certain (I only had a short look), but I think I saw ICE agents at a weigh station on I-94 in Indiana. It was at around 10am CST about an hour from Chicago.

Two men; one was wearing a green bulletproof vest. I assume they were questioning truck drivers. There were abt 10-15 trucks waiting

ICE needs to get out of my fucking city. They are not wanted nor needed here. Leave my neighbors alone.

It’s be nice if they ever really did that, but alas

You think a pastor would’ve read a single word of the text he seems to preach… literally ever. I wonder which verse he was using this as a metaphor of? Surely a parable about humility, cooperation, avoidance of greed, etc

I don’t usually cover breaking news, but this story is truly wild.

A pastor in central PA brought an AR-15 to church and pointed it at people during his sermon. Gun safety experts and internet commentators are, predictably, not happy!

Dauphin County pastor under fire for pointing assault-style rifle during sermon

In a move experts called a serious safety violation, he pointed the unloaded weapon at churchgoers, while asking for a 'violent action of faith.'

I have English family and when I try to explain America they always look--understandably--wildly confused. Like I am exaggerating for effect. I would look the same way. Living here is a constant exercise in bending your concept of reality. Or attempting to resist that bend.

i’m fine with youtube videos for some reason😂 maybe bc i watch those a little more intentionally, so i notice when to skip, but with podcasts i’m listening to zone out so skipping the ads is annoying

If you are not an eldest daughter, I do not want to see your takes on eldest daughter. It’s pretty low for me on the album, and that still comes with no notes

If your podcast is less than 15mins and 75% ads, it’s not a podcast, it’s an incredibly annoying voice memo
