Chicago Mom Charged After Son, 8, Takes Gun To School & It Accidentally Goes Off: Report

-
Charges have been set against a Chicago mother after her child was somehow sent to school with a firearm in his backpack. Because minors are involved names have yet to be released publicly, but it was reported by The Associated Press that an eight-year-old boy went to class at Walt Disney Magnet School on Chicago's North Side with a gun in his bag. It was reportedly around 10:00 a.m. yesterday (May 17) when the firearm discharged inside of the child's classroom, striking another student.

Kimya Dawson has released a song about Aesop Rock's emotional abuse towards her

-
This is almost two weeks old but I didn't see any discussion about it here so I thought it was worth sharing. It is NOT released in relation to Aesop having a new album coming out, as this was uploaded before he had announced or made any teasers. The song, Whisperers , was posted alongside a caption that read "I’m not self righteous and I’m not perfect by any means. I don’t expect perfection from anyone but I’d like to see some real fucking effort. I have done fucked up things in my life that I will regret forever but I recognize that and that remorse helps me grow and do better. It’s fucking hard. I know that. And I don’t want an apology. I don’t care who gets dropped or cancelled. I want dudes to stop being the gatekeepers who enable abusive behavior. And in the meantime I want those gatekeepers to stop pretending that they don’t know what they know. I want to see men held accountable rather than nurtured in environments that make them think they can keep getting away w
