No matter what happens in the coming weeks, we are Chicago. We rose from the ashes. We never quit.&10;&10;We are the lake in the morning, the sun rising over the water, its reflection drawing a line straight to our shores.&10;&10;We are the Haymarket Martyrs, the Pullman strikers, always demanding better than what we've got.&10;&10;We are the words of Sandburg and Algren and Brooks and Wright.&10;&10;We are the 90s Bulls, making the impossible possible.&10;&10;We are the dipped Italian Beef. Messy, sure, but incredible.&10;&10;We are the humidity in the summer, the frostbitten cheeks in the winter.&10;&10;We are smoke-kissed rib tips.&10;&10;We are elotes on the street. We are pierogis in a pot.&10;&10;We are Curtis singing Hush now child.

Tonight of all nights I’m going to re-up my benediction for Chicago.

We are everything.

This movie is the absolute best and is frankly Julian Fellowes at his best.

Just enough to get him from stop hyperventilating. I told him it’s all undetermined as to what’s going to happen that our country itself might not be in immediate threat but unfortunately the air bases and embassies are and Congress and the senate will hopefully diffuse anything that could escalate.

Just had a similar thought after talking down my very angry and upset 27 yr old who is freaking out that the fool is going to kill is all. I’m spending 15 dollars tonight from a reimbursement check on something frivolous. I don’t care.

Some people aren't old enough to remember endless debate in Congress about going to war with Iraq after 9/11. Endless. Because Congress had a say so. Because we had a Constitution. Yeah, fun times, then. Now one dude with dementia and a small dick complex just decides for himself.

I thought when
She lost her run for congress in NH a couple years ago I’d never have to see her crazy ass again, but here we are and I hate it.

The second episode was better than the first and the third had me in my feelings. I think it’s got a ton of potential and a great cast.

Love this show and the end of the second episode of the new season had my brain going in so many different directions. It was really interesting.

Marianne Faithfull, '60s icon and evolving pop star, has died at 78 The 1964 hit "As Tears Go By," penned by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, made her a star, but Marianne Faithfull demonstrated a remarkable ability to change with the times.

This is one of my favorites of him.

So I just learned Suzi Quatro is Sherilynn Fenn’s maternal aunt and my mind is blown.

This is going to obsess me for a while.

I can’t explain how much grief I’ve experienced the last 4 years. My brother died and two years later my father. And a year after that my son’s life is drastically altered. He didn’t deserve this.

I didn’t believe it at first but three drunk friends told me they heard the break. I’m out of state so my mom met him at hospital. It was broken in 4 places. Emergency surgery. He almost died. I’m still not ok about that. Weeks in rehab. And 5
Months later he may need more surgery. I’m broken.

Five months ago my son was close to getting a job he really wanted. He had the second interview on Monday. Late Saturday he was doing laundry and stopped by the hill in his complex to talk to a friend. We spoke and 10 minutes later his friend called me. Another “friend” broke his femur 1/2

Your periodic reminder that if you need to get out of your house FAST, do not bother trying to stuff your cats into carriers, just scoop them up in pillowcases. (You can drop said squirming rage sacks into carriers for added security if you have time.)

I’m going to slowly start moving here. Threads has become the spot that every Karen from facebook and every Madyson from instagram have come to be angry about everything you say. It’s strangely worse than twitter right now. I have thick skin but many of them are making me question myself.

The crowd in Paris celebrating Le Pen’s death is large.

He was a convicted Holocaust denier & his political views were rife with racism, Islamophobia & anti-semitism.

To many, he was a stain on French politics which remains to this day, despite his daughter’s attempts to soften the party’s image.

Also for her it’s seals. She loves them and wants to work with them some day. She did her senior project on the seals of the Maine gulf coast last year.

My daughter is 18 and in college. She was originally majoring in Marine bio but switched it to History last month while minoring in Marine Bio.
She took a marine science class in HS and loved it so much she ended up getting into a program the following summer on an island off of Maine in a lab.

@hulutr.bsky.social Will you please renew Extraordinary?? It’s been months since season 2 aired, and it’s one if the best shows out there.

I started to cry in the car when my husband picked me up. He really saw it when we got home and said ohhh you got Monica’d. Yeah it’s like the episode of friends where Monica gets a bad Dudley Moore haircut. Think that but shorter. Yeahhh. I’m not ok.

I had the worst haircut of my life tonight and can’t stop crying. I’ve always had a bob for decades. Recently I grew it out long with layers. It became a lot to dry for me and my MS. I wanted to go back to a long Bob. My stylist of 2 years chopped it all off with weird layers. It’s bad. Above chin.

I don’t know, it’s Maggie. She’d lick trump’s face if asked so I can honestly believe she’d embellish a story to make him look good.

So many large accounts complain about articles complaining about this site and engagement but it’s true. If you weren’t a big account on Twitter you’re talking to yourself here, whereas on Twitter you had others like you engage. It’s why I think people like me are on threads. It’s more interesting.
