i like to imagine walking into the world of a horror movie and explaining exactly what’s going on to the characters. ‘we found this evil video that kills you—‘ yep that right there is a haint, that’s haint activity. you’ll wanna sort that out before moving on with the movie

in today’s episode of ‘sean tries to remember a guy,’ we have my husband referring to ‘the lead singer in metallica, Kurt Hetfield’

rax ‘levon honkers’ king @raxkingisdead.bsky.social · 24d

watching my husband try to remember absolutely anybody’s name is incredible. today he referred to keith richards, the guitarist from one of his favorite bands, as ‘richie woods’

yeah i think everyone has a couple ‘posters’ delight’ people they enjoy bitching about and some others that they DO NOT enjoy bitching about, and as long as we all know it’s only bitching then there’s no harm in protecting our damn time!!

shit you’re right! you know what we should do, is talk about her 24 hours a day while she does that damage

I am acquainted with a small but meaningful sample of escorts who fell in love with their clients. It’s rare, but it happens!

Guess people are talking about thinking "the stripper likes you" so good excuse to share this one by @raxkingisdead.bsky.social www.welcometohellworld.com/the-time-it-...

I’m sure plenty of strippers have never fallen in big, irresponsible, week-long love with a customer, but I’m not one of them. Back when I was a stripper, I made great money playing the role of the most glamorous and adoring woman in the world, and I wanted most of my customers to agree that the exchange ended there, just like most of Ani’s do. But damned if there wasn’t a stubborn, needy little damsel crouching low in my spirit who believed that she might find the prince of her dreams in the VIP room. I wasn’t the only stripper cursed with such a traitorous inner damsel—the dressing room was forever abuzz with fairy tales of the girl who’d gotten swept off her feet, and into a mansion, by a besotted customer. She was always a few tantalizing degrees of separation away. She was a little like the mythical El Dorado of clubs that we always gossiped about, where the customers made it rain hundred dollar bills all day every day in some middle-of-nowhere dive whose name nobody could remember. The fairy tale girl probably existed in some form, but the point is that none of us actually knew her, and what we didn’t know we invented lavishly.

is the fantasy not sort of inherent to the existence of the customer base…

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

like it kind of doesn’t even matter that he never committed the crime he was finally exonerated for. there’s basically nothing a person can have done to warrant that kind of treatment

i cannot imagine the soul withering misery of finally claiming your freedom after 43 years of confinement only to be snatched up for indefinite confinement somewhere else on even flimsier grounds

Lynn Becker @cmgiulini.bsky.social · 1d

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation
