Because when you've only got a few hours between your first minimum wage job and your second, the difference between prep/cooking something from scratch and shoving a frozen pizza into the oven can mean an extra half-hour or more of desperately needed sleep.

Because when I have two dimes, I remember what it's like to have none.
But when someone has always had five dimes, they have no idea how precious one dime can be.

That's assuming they ever hear anything but their "side's" POV.

Chicago Whistle Links | Linktree We host weekly whistle events at places like Nighthawk in Albany Park, Beermiscuous in Lakeview, and more coming soon. Please help us print whistles & zines!

I just organized some resources for whistles if anyone wants to DIY an event or join forces with my whistle event team.

We could use support with 3D printing whistles! I’ve got files, donation links, and a sign-up sheet. Also a link to the zines if you need it!

Scene from "Tank Girl" graphic novel showing a young punk girl against a red desert sunrise, pulling on her boots and saying "I can't let things be this way. We can be wonderful. We can be magnificent. We can turn this shit around."

Portrait of Madeleine, also known as Portrait of a Black Woman (French: Portrait d'une femme noire or Portrait d'une negresse), is an oil-on-canvas painting by the French artist Marie-Guillemine Benoist, created in 1800.

It depicts a young black woman, sitting in a gilt armchair mostly covered with a blue cloth, in front of a plain light background. She is seated in a three-quarter position towards her left, but her head turns to look directly at the viewer with a self-assured expression. She is wearing a white cloth tied as a headdress, and a white dress tied with a red cord. The loose end of the headcloth hangs down on the left side of her face, but her right ear is visible with a hoop hearing.

From 1959: "Teenagers From Outer Space." Surprisingly good acting and decent dialogue rescue a thin plot. The special effects look cheesy now, but - with the exception of the prime alien villain - weren't bad for the time.

And WTF was up with the ads on MLB com this year? Same 4 ads every half-inning, sometimes the same ad looping 2 or 3 times in a row, and at least 1 always an obnoxious pharma ad. I stopped watching part way through the season because I was sick of reaching for the remote to mute it at every break.

Ibid with men. Critique their beliefs and actions, perhaps also their personalities, not their appearance.

If this country was truly β€œpro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about β€œlife.”

It’s about control.
