The State of Illinois is closely monitoring the federal deployments in the Village of Broadview.

Public safety is always my top priority, and the Illinois State Police remains in close communication with the Broadview Police Department to monitor and maintain public safety.

I fear this being my favorite movie explains a lot about me as a human being.

WWUD?

Getting ready for Pride Month! 🌈💅🏻

Someone asked me how to get the attention of power substack users because she is being ignored when she tells them that SS platforms and monetizes Nazis.

Those big earners on the top of the SS charts? They know. They're ignoring you on purpose because deep down they know they're fucking up.

I love listening to the series at work for background noises. I always take something away from the videos that I needed to hear.

The Maid by Nita Prose was awful precisely because it had so much potential at the start then lost that with character assassination at the eleventh hour and poor representation of neurodiversity. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #booksky

On the occasion of Chuck Schumer’s publication date, I would like to wish everyone a very good fuck Schumer.

I need this in a way I have never needed anything else.

It sure would be nice if Kamala Harris were president now. Jesus fucking Christ. It hasn't even been two months.

I got an honorable mention in a writing contest. I may not be one of the top three, but I’m so happy with simple recognition and proud of myself for participating in the first place. 💛✍🏻

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

Hope Walz’s dad Tim Walz is proud of her.

He said so on Twitter.

Why? Because of this exclusive profile of Hope Walz that we published at @rewirenewsgroup.com.

If Tim Walz read it, maybe you should too?

y'all ever have that weird bout of disassociation where all of a sudden you're like "I don't belong here, nothing feels correct, I am alien"

Something else you can do for #BuyNothingDay is reply to all the sales and marketing texts you get today with the word STOP. Unsubscribe from marketing emails.

Hey. Do this. Save some money. Maybe help save the country.

Thank you for sharing all this info. It’s a nice reprieve from the constant flow of bad news.

Several good things are happening according r/fednews so I am going to drop them here. If federal workers are fighting back, how much more us?

A thread/

Pan Tadeusz by Adam Mickiewicz. It’s a translated Polish historical fiction in epic poem format from the 1800s that a Polish friend suggested for our book club. It’s an important work given their history, but the misogyny, racism, and nationalism were too much for me considering the current times.

Just finished reading Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson. It’s the kind of book I have to let sink in before trying to rate because the nature of it is so nuanced and profound when you can relate to it yourself as one of the “in-betweeners” described in the book. #booksky

Gary Oak was one of the biggest opps in all of anime. One of the best haters too 😂😂

My friend group had our book club for The Book of Elsewhere yesterday. It’s a gorgeous work of art. I gave it 4.5 out of 5 and might be swayed to a full 5 after a reread. Now onto Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson for my favorite bookstore book club on Thursday. #booksky

It’s an absolutely frigid day. Which means it’s time to make some chicken and dumplings from scratch.

Why read when you can pay attention to your cats instead? 🤷🏻‍♀️

A white plaster goose standing on a rock with flowers. The statute is set on a dark kitchen counter with a vase of real flowers and another vase of Lego sunflowers behind it.

I have been OBSESSED with porch geese since moving to the Midwest and finding out about them. @felonix.bsky.social got me one for Valentine’s Day and I couldn’t be more grateful. I’ve named her Eleanor Gooseby. 🪿🌻

Right there with you. No big lights or coworkers to be seen today. Just candles, chill music, and me typing away.

Getting settled in for a cozy day of remote work thanks to the snow. ❄️
