In video games, you will often find a fully roasted chicken abandoned on the ground, and eating it extremely quickly makes you feel better. What's less known is that this is also true in real life

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.

Hen and Wren.
Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, approximately 95 × 64 mm.

Drawing in black ink, primarily in silhouette, of a hen and a Wren regarding each other quizzically. The hen stands in a patch of wild grasses whilst the wren perches on a small, leafless shrub in front of her. The hen's comb and wattle are the only touch of red gouache. The drawing is finely wrought and intricate. The piece is roughly the size of a business card.

Cat people of Bluesky! Would someone like to adopt this sweet kitty?? She’s from the same rescue org as my new cat, Ken, & flew from Azerbaijan with him a month ago but hasn’t found her home yet. She’s in Chicago. I’ll post her listing in the comments (and info in alt)
#cats ❤️ Boosts appreciated!

Aylana, a 1 year old cat with white fur and gray/ tawny tabby markings, and bright yellowish-green eyes. She started life as an abandoned stray kitten in a village in Azerbaijan, and one day was kicked around by some children and was badly injured.
Thankfully someone intervened and called a rescue to come pick her up! The vet didn't think she'd survive her injuries, but she persevered, and they ended up successfully rehabilitating her. She has been flown into the US and is now being fostered in Chicago, waiting to find a permanent home.
