Ex and occasional Chicagoan. Healthcare -> critters -> books, movies, and graphic novels. I heart courtyard buildings.

Pro tip - oil pastels are much harder to wash away and last longer in general!
I think it's equally likely that she's undergoing some sort of treatment or procedure and Donald doesn't care enough to be there so he really is golfing...
Graham Greene has died. If you have not yet watched Reservation Dogs, go watch it now in his honor.
Secret service guys don't usually wear uniforms. I'm pretty sure these are just hotel staff.
Sense is not safe
This reminded me of a family friend who used to play tricks on the squirrels and bluejays while camping - one was to glue a whole in-shell peanut to the picnic table, a Jay would try to fly away with it and be...frustrated.
No, that's the reflection of the lady at the top of the stairs. Compare the eyebrows.
Or just...staff?
I believe the person higher up on the stairs is a lady (hair bun visible in the mirror, and eyebrow shape). Interesting they both appear to be wearing mics?

Yes, Virgina, there are movies you can, and some you should, watch to celebrate Labor Day. sleepykittypaws.tumblr.com/post/6607775...
Extra hilarious because the changes to their interior decor were 100% an attempt to capture the Tradwife Modern Farmhouse market
You can thank your local animal control agency for that. Before mandatory rabies vaccination for dogs, they were the main vector in the US.
Uncle's hermitages are special places. Mine had gummy bears in the fridge.
#NYC baseball coach confronts ICE child predators. “There's only one way to get into the cage, so my whole thing was I can control that. I was in front of the entrance and that's when I just said, you know, I may die here, but they will not take one of these kids." www.wcpo.com/politics/imm...
There's also the likelihood that at his age, while his injuries won't kill him, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and general deconditioning resulting from his hospital stay will be the beginning of the end for him.
That does not make your Kristallnacht statement correct. Facts matter.
Yes, ICE are the gestapo, but "broken windows policing" has nothing to do with Kristallnacht. The term originated from this article in the Atlantic in 1982: web.archive.org/web/20090418...
That's incorrect.
Rudy perpetrated the domestic violence incident.
One of my friends growing up was dyslexic and since he was in a homeschool family he wasn't diagnosed, didn't get assistance. It's really common.
My mom was friends with some homeschool moms when I was a kid so I became friends with their kids, and the number of them who have unaddressed/undiagnosed learning disabilities is heartbreaking. At least in public school I was flagged and diagnosed!
Ice ero - just lurk, don't post, they've gone private because of trolling in the past and we want it to stay observable for stuff like this
Sounds like a you problem that you need to fix, because she's doing serious shit here, while people with "serious" names burn this country to the ground for lulz.
Me, sitting here with my Crayola watercolor set from Walgreens: "Whatever, the paintings I did in 3rd grade still look good as hell"
It's like they're trying to all lives matter this shit, but in reverse. They really don't want to acknowledge who is first up for this.
idk if this story is getting much traction elsewhere but a 27 year old man who is the director of the oregon coast military museum in florence raped a 15 year old and the response of the board which his father chairs btw was to literally say to her parents' faces "maybe your daughter is a slut"
(Oil pastels are harder to wash away)
That's not where medicaid funding comes from. Again, I ask, do you know where food comes from? Do you know who grows it?
I concur wholeheartedly. There is no other way to store beading needles.
Nobody told me how funny The Seventh Seal is.
There was a major shift in the NRA's culture at some point in the 90s. My husband was "gifted" a lifetime NRA membership at birth by his grandfather. He says that NRA newsletters used to be 90% about safety, 10% about legislation, and now that has flipped. Not sure if $ vs endorsements changed then.
They're definitely not something all police or sheriff's departments have.
Oooh, it's sassy JB time!
Back in 2017 there was solid speculation that he's afraid of stairs
And many prisoners are disabled. This country is not above executing people with severe intellectual disabilities.
Hello, fellow apparent Pritzker fan! Do you know where your food comes from? I'll give you a hint: it doesn't grow on grocery store shelves, it grows in rural areas. The great Khan knows this and treats rural residents with respect - you should follow his glorious example.
Now, you can say that she misspoke and/or that it was a soundbite taken out of context, but 1) never give them a soundbite that horrendous, & 2) there are people in this thread saying rural residents should have their jobs, homes, & lives taken away for being rural residents, even if they voted blue
"Hillary Clinton wrote that her biggest regret was to say she would put coal miners out of business" www.businessinsider.com/hillary-clin...
🧐 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aktion_T4 No, I'd say fascism explains it pretty well.
Not just imprisoned, the first people they executed were the disabled.
That, plus getting rid of cash bail. For me the moment was when he gave Chicago an elected school board.
I remember one of those "learn English videotapes" companies using "what time is it?" In their commercials.
The science backs you up on that.
Cutting wood is fighting the fire, though - it's not a support role, it's fuel reduction. Wildland fires are primarily fought by stopping the fire from advancing by removing fuel from it's path.
Iunno democrats telling rural whites you want them to lose their jobs, lose their homes, and die seems like it is indeed democrats' fault those same people don't vote democratic.
Lesbians have always been a part of the Guy economy. Straight women, too - my grandma was amongst them, she could sew you a shirt or reupholster your car seats.
My husband is an under 50 Guy and him and all the other Guys in that cohort are too damn exhausted and busy keeping their heads above water to fully engage in being a Guy. But man, during quarantine, he could Guy to his heart's content.
Seeing the lead strategist for Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign saying Democrats need to abolish ICE and nationalize SpaceX should be a wakeup call to Chuck Schumer. But it won't be.
Don't forget elected rather than appointed school boards!
That's not how it works. If it were, Texas would have done it during the Obama years.
If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me
Funny, but this would have been a great opportunity to catfish that cop for intel.
The states themselves don't send them, the taxpayers in those states send them. Not paying your taxes is a recipe for prison time.
GN is trying to become a republican president. I've had both of them as governors, I don't trust Newsom, I do trust JB.
what next, a state-owned drug company?! (Please, @govpritzker.illinois.gov, can we have a state-owned drug company?)
In most cases, yes. Pritzker, however, is actually willing to fight www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/09...
JB Pritzker knows what to DO
Excellent illustrations, excellent alt text.
hospital. It's a years-long waiting list to get a primary care provider if you're an adult. Almost anything that isn't primary care or extremely basic surgery you will have to travel for. Never less than an 8 hour wait at the ER. Fun times.
Same boat, minus the government healthcare part. Our local rural hospitals don't even have pediatric units anymore - if a child is sick/injured enough to be admitted to the hospital, they have to be flown hundreds of miles away. We have the only labor & delivery unit for 200 miles & it's a catholic
who grows that food? Where does food grow?
Why would they vote for a party that is proclaiming that they deserve to die?? Why would they vote for a party that says that people should die in childbirth because their local rural hospital closed and the nearest one is 200 miles away? Why would they vote for a party that hates them?
Lol right because urban social services are so well-resourced and there's not a waiting list for anything at all. You are why the democrats keep losing rural areas. You talk about people like they're stupid and tell them you want to make them unemployed and homeless, they won't vote for your side.
Again, where do you think food comes from? Who is going to grow your food for you if all the farmers quit farming and move to the city and work at the business factory? Also, rural residents ALREADY have to travel hundreds of miles to see specialists. Rural hospitals are bare bones.
I've spent about half my life in America's 3rd largest city, and half in a small, isolated rural city. I truly wish there was a rural-urban exchange program because people really need to get some perspective by living in the opposite environment.
Me, living in a rural healthcare desert: 🥲 (I moved back to take care of my senile dad. The elderly do BADLY when they are moved to unfamiliar places, so moving him to the city with more healthcare resources wasn't a solution)
I miss this show so damn much.
According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois. And yet Trump is sending troops here.
Hey, y'all just sold my friend a book that is AI-generated, and it's not the only one on your site. What are you doing to stop AI slop?
Trump and his Republican acolytes have declared war on coal miners. Refusing to enforce the silica standard, repealing safety and health regulations and destroying NIOSH. Meanwhile, more miners have already died this year than all of last year Blood on their hands. jordanbarab.com/confinedspac...
I just want attention 👉👈
Good lord, you really need to put down the coke. You have a victorian-era British gentleman's understanding of rivers and flooding.
Lol ok. Where is this land that will never flood, even though it rains?
Here you are, wishing death (by burning) upon the western states and the people who live in them. Funny you said no one gets a "free pass", except for yourself, obviously.
He's certainly agree that the "water level" is something that changes and fluctuates, and is not a fixed level lol. "I bought a house above the water level so it will never flood" uhhh, ok, that's...not what that means...
Ah, well in that case, may an airplane crash befall you, since you're so eager to wish death and destruction on everyone else 😇
Lol, so "the water level" you're so insistent about "living above" is something that changes, eh? Maybe you are a bot after all
Even if you're posting from the top of Mt. Denali, you're going to have to pass through a low spot eventually, and you'll deserve whatever misfortune strikes you 😇
I don't doubt their spinelessness, but I wouldn't be surprised if firefighters refused to go on the grounds that they could be arrested and deported to El Salvador
Lol moving goalposts. Good lord man put the coke down.
I cannot wait to show this to my hydrologist neighbor lol. In the meantime, maybe don't consume so much snow, Ian.
...it's always the ones who think they're too clever, the ones who think they know better than everyone else... You can't reason with a disaster. A disaster is not impressed by alliteration and assonance. Nowhere is immune to disaster.
I think he's actually too dumb to be a bot.
So it is 6,444 feet above sea level, thus proving that you do not have to live at sea level to experience flooding.
😆🤣😂 the residents of Meeker, Colorado will be shocked to learn they live at sea level! www.cbsnews.com/colorado/new...
Don't you see? He's much smarter than all of us, so a disaster will never strike him, personally. If it did, he Would Simply Escape.
You said you live somewhere it rains. You don't have to be at sea level to suffer a flood or a rain-relared mudslide. Here's hoping the suffering you wish so freely on others strikes you first, whatever form it may take 😇
May the floods take you, then.
Ok, how many people voted for him in your state?
Every year there is a rotating exchange of wildland firefighters between the US and Australia. The Australians come here to help with our fire season, which is the off season for them, and then our wildland firefighters go there for their fire season. I don't think the Australians will be back.
So you want the blue states to burn. Sure thing, bud.
Fuel reduction (cutting wood) is a core function of wildland firefighting. Do you think there are fire hydrants in the mountains?
Lol that's why they claimed Del Norte...and also because the only thing keeping that county's economy going is a federal prison.
Yes, and with young wildlife you may *actually kill them* by trying to bottle or dropper feed them - they don't have the same anatomy as, say, kittens, and they can aspirate and die. I saw all this stuff way too much when I worked in an animal shelter.
I am aware. I was expanding on your explanation, not disputing it.
I was trying to give them a more detailed explanation of what technical rescue is, as I formerly worked in an adjacent field. Don't want people thinking tech rescue is *only* when people climb a bridge.
The woman in the 4th photo mostly managed to not do that, either, but like...the positioning is BAD juju/fung shui/whatever you want to call it.
