i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

Our Mexican Mulling Cacao is a cozy home-warming cuppa in celebration of our farm workers! $6 of each 2 oz packet supports @ufw.bsky.social, a labor union offering innumerable support pathways for America's farmers, from immigration resources to legal representation to clothing and food drives.

I have reached my daily allotment of Fucks. The Fucks are off and nobody's home. If you need me, you know what to do. 👉👉

Also DAMN I love my girlfriend. She's the bees knees AND elbows.

Pspspsps real indie news in Chicago pspsps

Go subscribe, y'all. The people that work here are fearless!!

in a way aren't we all looking for more sink cheese where we found it yesterday

What is the first thing they try to ban? Books. Art. Don't silence us by getting lost in the noise. Fight censorship by supporting artists it affects. Fight this purist culture by uplifting and sharing work by those it seeks to silence. Do that more than endlessly yelling into the void.

Don't forget the artists, whether they be writers, musicians, or otherwise visual. We are being drowned out by an obsession with outrage everywhere. We need you. Our work is also resistance. Don't forget that queer art, disabled art, marginalized people's art is resistance. Support it.

*Taking a deep breath* There are good things. Please focus on them. Queer artists are creating art. Queer authors are releasing great books. Queer YouTubers are talking about cool stuff. Queer indie musicians are struggling to find fans. Marginalized creators are struggling and need you.

NEW — “Every Chicagoan should be looking out for their neighbor,” Black D.C. organizers warned. “The best preparation is to continue to do what orgs and coalitions in Chicago have been doing to fight back and to defend the community against this impending occupation.” thetriibe.com/2025/09/d-c-...

I literally spent 10 min translating Lula’s speech about Palestine to English. I just need every single one of my gringo friends to listen to this man in order to maybe restore their faith in politics. This right here is a politician. This is why we voted for him. And personally, I’ll do it again.

Today is a BIG day. Rapture day Rosh Hashanah Bisexual Day of Visibility Anything else, friends? We got a party brewing!

Damn I married a funny guy.

So do we all just stop what we're doing at noon and go home or something? I think I need an itinerary for this.

Congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social was thrown to the ground by ICE agents during a Chicago protest. “That is what these officers are willing to do when there is press and cameras around," she says, adding that they are "committing human rights abuses" inside.

I cannot stress this enough. We are protesting Broadview because of the human rights violations happening within the ICE facility. If they are willing to assault me on camera, imagine what they are doing to detainees behind boarded-up windows.

I’ve opened up commissions again. I’m doing some emergency readings because I’m trying to bounce back from medical bills and I’m in the red. There’s still a 25% off discount until the end of the month. Use code ‘README’ at checkout ko-fi.com/readingraven...

Instead of completing a project, what if I started another one?

This is an incredibly good deal Orion is one of the reasons I'm the designer I am, and they've made some of my favourite game stuff!

Freelance work hasn't come through and this month has been expensive so I'm offering creative consulting on your ttrpg for 25 bucks flat. I'll read it, provide detailed notes and we can do a 30 min discord call to go over them. DM me.

Disney+ is still on the BDS list, BTW. Don't restart your subscription just because they brought back Kimmel. They only did that because they lost so much money anyway; they learned nothing. If Disney or ABC wants your money, make them divest from Israel first.

Sigh

If they were winning they wouldnt be rushing. If your action meant nothing they wouldnt be trying so desperately to get you to stop

I genuinely LOVE when @gnomedic.bsky.social folds and puts away my laundry because I never know where I'll find anything. It's like a scavenger hunt! Ultimately though, it doesn't matter how it's folded or where it's put. What matters is that he took the time to do it without me asking. 🥰

Getting older is a privilege but damn it's scary too.

Good morning! Here are some things you can do: 🔹 Cancel your Disney plus subscription. 🔹 Contact your representatives either by going to www.house.gov/representati... or download 5 Calls to find your reps' contact info. It even gives you a script. 🔹 Do something you love. You got this.

Do I watch movies/tv on a regular basis? No, absolutely not. I've lost the fight not to have tv on every house I've ever lived in. Will I be watching kpdh for the third time during my mini vacation? Yes, absolutely.

I don't know, chat. It's really bad. Just be there for each other. Take care of yourself and each other. I love you, friends.

Found this project while doomscrolling and happily pledged my support! Filipino Sci-Fi? Heck yeah. Check out Maharlika: A Filipino Sci-Fi Epic (450pg+ Compendium One) by Santelmo House on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/san...

A warning: as we face more trauma and pain, it’s going to seem more and more tempting to “trust our guts”, turn away at the slightest opportunity, make snap judgments. In our pain, we’ll do anything we can to avoid more… but it’s a trick. Our guts are biased, our trauma avoidance will isolate us.

I don't have a set goal or any expectations just know that I need a little help and that is always hard for me to swallow so I'm reaching out to ask. You can help me here and maybe I can run a game or something for you and yours. Thank you. 2/2 ko-fi.com/honeyanddice

Hello everyone, you know I rarely do this. It is also hard. This month I got hit with the unexpected emergency/business error that have left me about -300 in the negative to afford necessary medical and household expenses for both me and my dogs. 1/2

Hi! I'm only a few subscribers away from 1.1k on YouTube. 🥺 I also hit YouTube Partner and got monetized this year so if you want to help me out totally for free please consider just letting some of my YouTube Playlists run in the background. 💜

My Panel is today!!

Good morning to everyone who loved playing 3D Space Cadet Pinball back on their family computer in the computer room, and to them only. Anyway, go stretch out your joints and take an ibuprofen or something

Which machine is being raged against? Wrong answers only. - The beeping fire alarm.

Carl says hello. He is a distinguished gentleman.

Yes, we have chai options. 😂☕️

Bus drivers always act a little surprised when I ask them how they are. Obviously we don't always have the time for more than a quick 'hello, thank you'...but maybe we should try to connect a little more with bus drivers if we want to make someone's day better in a small way.
