She’s named after her great aunt Kathleen Kennedy, who died in a plane crash at 28 years old. Aunt Kathleen was nicknamed “Kick” because of her “irrepressible nature” and it seems she inherited the nickname as well.
What are the charges? When I find skulls laying around our camp I nail them beside the shed door. So far I have a rabbit, tortoise shell and an unidentified herbivore. Lost the deer skull. :(
Call me weird if you like, but criminal? Excepting scale, what’s the difference? Not like he rowed out in the bay and harpooned it himself. I can’t shoot a black bear, but I can do what I please with any remains I find.

I genuinely wonder what kind of fucking damage you have to have to seek out this shit, wtf…
Seriously, if you’re reading this and this appeals to you, I implore you to not feed this machine money and instead confide in a therapist. I’m not judging you for the way you were molded but I will commend you for taking a first step to break out of that mold of your own accord.
In addition to my above comment I’ll add specifically on response to this question: I’ve noticed that in addition to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, people specifically need to feel as though they are in control of getting those needs met in some way. And this can be different for each individual depending at the very least on what they’re physically capable of, but also what they can cognitively and emotionally manage. I suspect this is because if you didn’t cause it to happen, then that means it’s being controlled by some outside force, which means it can just as easily stop happening.
So in addition to having food, a house, etc, you have to feel as though you, at least in some small way, caused yourself to have food and a house. And this can even manifest in someone causing unsafe situations, especially if that need has consistently been unattainable, because they still won’t have whatever it is, but at least they then feel as though they have control over it. You see this all the time with personality disorders (I should know, I’ve got one that took 3 years of therapy to get under control), but the level of dysfunction described here is… extreme to say the least.
This particular type of problem in this article is usually caused by dysfunction the esteem/respect level of needs. When you can’t cause yourself to be respected, you cause yourself to be feared. And because being feared is a fundamentally unstable system (most victims will start standing up for themselves eventually and at least in some small way), it can escalate very quickly and often even before the people directly involved realize what’s happening. It also tends to be very difficult to undo and return to a place of positive esteem because the person has lost the trust of those around them.
And fundamentally, as with any problem of this nature, the person themselves has to take a leading role in their own recovery, and by the time you’re this deep in, that’s very unlikely to happen. I was just cutting myself to get people’s pity and yelling / bucking up at people who upset me as a young adult and it still took me three years of wholeheartedly engaging in literally the most intensive therapy that exists to get to the level of functioning I’m at now; this is… a little farther down the rabbit-hole.
“Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car, and it was the rankest thing on the planet. We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, and people on the highway were giving us the finger, but that was just normal day to day stuff for us.”
Just a not weird family drive through the country. Seriously though, I’m betting the Harris campaign is sitting on several more of these stories that will roll out over the next couple months.
I’m also wondering where his collection is right now. If he’s being investigated for a federal crime, there may be a search warrant in the works.
Note that he intentionally took his kids to watch him saw the head off and put it on the car and take it home. Because he apparently liked to “study” such things. Weird as fuck.
If this was a factory farm and people were maybe going to eat the animals after the torture, it would still be just as deprived. Remember this next time your order your burger or chicken strips. If you are disgusted by this, as you absolutely should be, then pay the extra 30% for fairly treated animals. If you don’t know where your food is coming from then it is probably from torturous factory farms.
You can do better and the animals deserve better. This isn’t even a call for veganism, just a call for making sure that the animals you eat at least get to live without being tortured like they are at nearly all factory farms. There is plenty of factory farm footage out there for anyone who wants to bury their heads in the sand and pretend like torture isn’t routine for most of the animals raised for meat.
The fact that it’s common doesn’t make it morally justified.
If my comment upsets you, then it is almost certainly your own actions that are actually upsetting you.
You’re 100% correct but it causes people to look inward and most can’t wrestle with that dissonance.
Female animals are repeatedly raped, have their children taken, are forced to produce milk, etc. Males are culled yeaaaars earlier than average life expectancy or turned into meat pulp instantly in the case of chicken farms. Rinse repeat forever. All in disgusting conditions, but hey at least we can eat meat 🙄.
Go against the grain and order plant based alternatives and attempt to eat vegetarian / vegan as often as possible. Try it for 6 months, the meat isn’t going anywhere.
Wild day for people who believe in consequences as we beg appeals courts to not let Trump off scot free for misuse of classified documents and hope theres a way to prosecute a Kennedy for decapitating a whale.
