THE BLACKCOAT'S DAUGHTER (2015), Osgood Perkins

A perfectly doom drenched trip if your vibe is hiding on picture day in a bathroom with blinking fluorescents, a creaky echo through empty library stacks or a lone footprint edged in muddy melt slowly filling with falling snow.

This is Chicago but the take-home lesson here is universal. Pay attention to your local elections and vote in them!

Actually, it really matters whether your electeds are progressive. We are often frustrated on the left at what electeds can deliver, but we have to remember moments like this. Paul Vallas would NOT have created ICE free zones.

The TRiiBE @thetriibe.com · 2d

HAPPENING NOW — This morning, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.”

“That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as grounds for these raids,” Johnson said to applause.

my parents have always been normie democrat liberals but my mom gets very heated these days about The Government. it is sweet and entertaining and comforting

my mom claims she has gotten more conservative with age when she has actually seriously drifted left on many things and it baffles me. like i'm happy obviously but what does she think a conservative is...

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.
