Pope Leo is spitting.

www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

Leo questioned a world where the wealth of the elite grows
"exponentially" while many "millions of people die of hunger or survive in conditions unfit for human beings." He also criticized "ideologies that defend the absolute autonomy of the marketplace and financial speculation,"
with false promises "that a free-market economy will automatically solve the problem of poverty."

Leo described a "new tyranny," which shuns any kind of oversight and where the economy is structured "in such a way that sacrifices are demanded of the masses in order to serve the needs of the powerful." The poor, he wrote, are only allowed "drops that trickle down."

The pope openly challenged "prosperity theology" and called Christians to the practice of giving charity. "It will not solve the problem of world poverty, yet it must still be carried out, with intelligence, diligence and social responsibility," he wrote.

Popular movements that challenge "the empire of money," invite people to take on the cause to combat poverty alongside the poor, instead of on their behalf, and "make history," the pope said. It our duty, Leo said, to "make their voices heard, albeit in different ways, in order to point out and denounce such structural issues, even at the cost of appearing foolish or naïve."

Please support Caudle if you can!

He’s one of the sweetest people in the fandom, and his work saved my life when I was in a really, REALLY bad place. Wouldn’t be where I am now, mentally, if not for him. 💞💞💞

O-on that note...since Paypal is back open and I've basically gone the Normal Person Equivalent of missing a week's paycheck.

Um...

There will probably be a fund goal here soon if you want your money to Go To Something, but meanwhile support is nice.

Tomorrow is a great big fat dinosaur's birthday....I couldn't be the boss without this big boy sidekick. Here's just a few of my favorite pieces I commissioned over the years for him.

You have my permission to spoil him rotten for the next 24ish hours. Happy birthday @macroceli.bsky.social!

That's me, Couscous!

I found my way into the fandom this summer (better late than never haha) and still figuring things out as I go. So here's my attempt at a ref sheet.
