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.

October Spooky Reads: It Was Her House First by @cheriepriest.com

I maintain Cherie is at her best when she is writing about hauntings, and here she interweaves past and present to deliver a ghost story with a delightful ending. It's almost cozy creepy? Is that a genre? A+ pacing & characters.

They know they are ridiculous people and the thing they hate most is being laughed at. They want everyone terrified and intimidated by how MANLY and LETHAL they are, not laughing because they got got by a grating frog.

This video is everywhere because it's a hilarious visual refutation of Portland being on fire. You can't get a mass movement going without convincing the masses

so yes, this does do something actually

This literally does nothing. You are not beating fascism by dressing up in inflatable suits and dancing

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."

Palestinians have families, too.

This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.

I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

My drawing hand's not doing well so it's all old rerun art for Halloween this year. I really want to work on some new horror movie art before too long. Bleagh.

Drawing done of Nola Carveth and her brood children from the movie The Brood. Drawn in blue and red pencil with some lines darkened with a regular drawing pencil.

Since I’m talking about horror, and it’s many audience, I’m going to pimp this piece. It’s about the research into why people are attracted to horror, and what I see in the research is ppl looking for a new, better relationship to fear. Free to all.
