This is why I'm vigilant about not dehumanizing even our worst enemies.

We have to accept that humans can be this evil.

And we have to stay firm on the fact that EVERYONE deserves all of the basic human rights. Yep - him too.

You know when there's a song you've never heard, but you know it because your friend sings pieces of it so often?
I wish I had asked her about it back then.

I looked at her online obituary again today. People left comments calling her sweet, kind, gentle, special, wonderful.

I hope they told her to her face. I wish I could tell her to her face.

Tell people to their faces that they are wonderful, okay?

We've been stuck at 96/600 for the last few days. My sister's only food money is from SNAP. We're both disabled, have kids to feed, & she's our grandmother's caregiver as well. I know it's rough out here for most folks, but it's not our fault we're disabled 😭

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. 

It wasn’t the feds β€”Β  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Typos here are funny because when you used to hook up modems directly to each other, you could interrupt each other. You could just smash on the keyboard and totally fuck up what the other person was typing.

People used to think I was interrupting them when I typed K every 15 seconds
