It Lurks...

A sepia toned black and white picture of Vincent Price as a young man. He's a white brunette man with a thin mustache and a tall build.

Happy Horror Month to goth Daddy, bisexual icon Vincent Price.

Feels like it was yesterday.

In Les Miserables, Jean Valjean steals a loaf of bread to save his sister’s starving son

He serves 19 years in jail & emerges the hero

The villain? The cop who’s determined to pit him back in jail

For the crime of not wanting someone to starve

Telling this story for absolutely no reason at all.

WE SHOULD LISTEN.

A man in bed looks passively at a Beholder (D&D monster) hovering before him. Text: “Do not be afraid, Kevin. I am God, assuming a form your human mind will find most comforting. I—wait, hold on, what am I right now? Normally I'm like, a grandma or a talking dog or something. Wow, Kevin, you must be super messed up.”

Today on #NationalFoodDay, many Americans are worried about their next meal. States are warning that Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits may not be issued in November if the shutdown continues.

Think we really can’t overlook how easily they ousted Claudine Gay when considering how flimsy the pretexts are against Lisa Cook and Letitia James.

What has changed is simple: people are scared of crossing Trump this time. In researching this piece, I interviewed dozens of figures, including lawmakers, private sector executives, retired senior military figures and intelligence chiefs, current and former Trump officials, Washington lawyers and foreign government officials. Such is the fear of jail, bankruptcy or professional reprisal, that most people insisted on anonymity. This was in spite of the fact that many of the same people also wanted to emphasize that Trump would only be restrained by powerful voices opposing him publicly. At times, it has felt like trying to report on politics in Turkey or Hungary.

Also, here is the same quote, now with Alt Text

lol this cop pissed himself

Spending tax dollars on $175M private jets, $1B to renovate a private jet, $150M on golf trips, & other wasteful spending while Americans face going without food due to SNAP benefits not going out in Nov is a gop policy choice.

Sam's Club is part of Wal-Mart and Wal-Mart workers are among the largest recipients of SNAP in this country. Apparently, some Wal-Marts will help employees fill out SNAP applications as part of their HR paperwork. When people start going hungry on Nov 1 part of the reason is companies underpay them

And that’s because, and this is important, life is messy.

Here’s the thing about the Civil Rights Movement people don’t realize, shit was messy.

Occupational Exposure to COVID-19 in Healthcare Settings OSHA is proposing to remove OSHA's COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standard and its associated recordkeeping and reporting provisions from the Code of Federal Regulations.

🚨 Public comments needed before Nov. 1:

OSHA has proposed a rule to eliminate required reporting of employee covid infection, hospitalization & death in healthcare settings. This is a bad idea, both w/ regard to protecting HCWs & b/c reporting provides

Notice how it’s always, “the Bible must inform our laws!” until it comes to the +2,000 verses in the Bible that discuss the generous use of wealth and possessions in a way that prioritizes the needs of the poor, this sick, the stranger, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.

Good for her. I sent along some money.

He's torn down your entire country.

@archive.org is such a gem

A blaring red warning signal for the rule of law; a President declaring “we’re just gonna kill people” without a trial or even a shred of due process.

432 Park Is Cracking Up Developers wanted the supertall’s cement façade to be a pristine white. Turns out that’s not great for durability.

Reading about this luxury apartment building that's falling apart after only ten years because the developer wanted a pure white building, a color only achieved by weakening the concrete. LOL what a fucking living metaphor.

Lots of US companies have done lots of dreadful things to Americans. But the symbolism of paying to destroy the White House is hard to top.

Target doesn’t care about diversity and they don’t care about their workers. Target Corporation donated $1,000,000 to President Trump in January and this is the result - an economy of bigotry.

If you work at Target, organize. If you shop at Target, stop.

Workers deserve to be valued.

HRT for me, not for thee

another thing here- the piece points out there's a T implant that one of the real housewives stars is taking and it's unfathomable to hear of any trans person having access to that easily

I’m enjoying Guillermo del Toro and his five year plan

It’s not radical to believe that people shouldn’t have to sell plasma to make ends meet.
