Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Reminder that food banks have the ability to buy food in bulk and can make the most out of the economy of scale so cash (if you have it) is always preferred.
But also, they're not going to say no to your pantry items. 💚

I just donated to my local food bank. If you can, you should too. People are already suffering but next month, in particular, is going to be so difficult.

Disabled people should be allowed to get married without losing our healthcare. We shouldn’t have to choose between weddings and staying alive. In 2025 we still have no marriage rights or property rights. We never have, and it’s total shit. Fuck Eugenics, we deserve so much better.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Look, this is what Catholicism does so well. Yes girl, BRING OUT THE MONSTRANCE. MAKE THEM SAY IT IN FRONT OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT. Martin Luther could *never*. He failed to predict the Trump Presidency and also is directly implecated. I am so serious.
Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

the thing about nazis is theyre perfectly capable of empathy. theyre not bogeymen crawling from the dark under your bed. theyre not a different species. the fact that you believe otherwise is why you keep getting stumped by "actually this guy had a dog and a family"

Feeling overwhelmed? Feeling the urge to dunk on today's Bad Take Lady? Honestly, reasonable. But I just finished this big long thread, so why not take a break and witness me becoming increasingly horny for Sailor Moon's Monsters of the Week?
Sailor Moon! I’ve been a fan for over 20 years, and the fandom is as vibrant as ever. But one aspect we don’t talk about enough is the Monsters of the Week. Often funny, sometimes scary, always creative…
But are they hot?
I bring you: Every Sailor Moon Monster of the Week, ranked by hotness.

Like if you’re really feeling compelled to tell people that they should be more empathetic regarding the death of the anti-empathy guy, the way you do that is by inviting people into a practice of empathy and not in a way that reproduces these fucked up oppressive power structures
