Back in my day, digging through ditches and burning through witches were two separate jobs. Union jobs, no less. These days if you want to get slammed in the back of a dragula you have to download some lousy app.

the four year old just wandered over and leaned against me so he could stare up at me adoringly while making what I can only call affectionate fart noises

Well… pretty much our entire family in Lebanon has evacuated Beirut and southern Lebanon. In the 80’s, the Lebanese side of our family evacuated and went to Syria where complete strangers were opening their homes to people forced to flee from the war. Welcoming in entire families.

I will scream forever that gloating about natural disasters is some ghoulish asshole shit because the people most impacted are never the fascists with money and power but the most marginalized and vulnerable.

Is The Takeout noticeably worse to anyone else? They still have the occasional good article, but I feel like the overall quality is much lower than it used to be.
