I'm looking into a lot of things but that doesn't me I can or will do it.

Also, I'm looking into a news source other than Newsweek because I actually want a reputable source.

Watched V/H/S Halloween last night and having watched almost all of the V/H/S movies, this is the only one I can think of that was really brutal. Not a ton of gore but when it happens it's insane. And, "Coochie Coochie Coo" wasn't technically bloody but fuck was it gross.

No shade to anyone who is diagnosed with something considered neurodivergence. But I see enough people claiming abilities where they immediately go to neurodivergent where I'm just like "no sweetie you have unresolved trauma".

Whenever I see people claiming they are neurodivergent because they have great "pattern recognition" my first thought every time is "or maybe you grew up in a house where you felt like you were on eggshells the whole time and had to be hyper aware of everything".

I'm very aware of what is going on in Chicago. I have an ever so slightly deeper than surface level of what's going on in Portland.

What about Memphis? I find lots of press about Chicago and Portland, but what about Memphis?

Me, explaining to a friend in Philadelphia where I live in relation to the border of Chicago, downtown Chicago, the Broadview ICE facility, and where known ICE kidnappings have happened near me.

Them: Oh, so they're just being psychos everywhere in and around Chicago?

Me: Yup.

But the best part was he used a handcuff key he had on his key ring to pull the contacts up. He started using it like it was no big thing until the person filming him out loud said "why do you have a handcuff key?" and the mechanic said "sometimes you're in situations."

Shout out to the mechanic I found on YouTube who showed how to fix a very hyper specific issue with our car's turn signal. It ended up being a very simple fix; required pulling up metal contacts that get pressed down over time.
