Chicago. Theatre. Active transportation. Cats. I dunno. I’m tired.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Also, good evening you old war zone, but I fell on my butt while skating tonight and my hand and butt are sore so that’s probably worth federal invasion, right?

I thought it was just me! So much better than regular sugar cookies and the chips just kind of get in the way!

Looking for examples of cancer disinformation for a case study for my students. Tried Google & got useful articles about reasons for it, but no concrete examples. Googled for what our current head of HHS says causes cancer & got plenty for my project. This is surely fine & good & not a problem! 🙃

I can’t get over how crazy this is. They’re so indiscriminate and sloppy that they literally gassed dozens of cops. Nobody is safe.

Masked federal agent throws chemical irritants outside Logan Square grocery store: 'My eyes are burning' Video taken by several witnesses captured the moments where the agent can be seen dropping a canister from a white SUV.

Terror today in Logan Square.

“There was a gentleman over there that was vomiting. There were people in the store nearby that were trying to get water in people’s eyes as soon as they can,” he said.”

Got a e-gift card for about $38. Transferred to my Apple Wallet. Pretty sure it was legit.

Now the boats are going the other way on the river (towards the lake). I'm happy to report they are being greeted by a chorus of jeers from people on the Riverwalk (not sure you can hear it over the helicopters, but I could hear it from indoors, which is how I knew they must be back!)

Now parading along Wacker by the Riverwalk.

I will say their marching all geared and masked up next to joggers and people walking strollers really emphasizes what ridiculous little weenies they are.

In Chicago, every time I’ve seen a reason to help someone on transit (left-behind wallet, carrying something big, etc) it’s turned into the Olympics of Who Can Help the Most amongst all the passengers. Real Hellhole, this place…

100%. I am starting this module (flying by the seat of my pants as usual) in a couple weeks and this has really helped me conceptualize a framework!

Considered it at one point. Mentioned this to a realtor who was showing me places & he said the people who live there do *because* they want to be separated from the rest of the city. Having been a lurker over the years on a FB group I had joined back then, can confirm. Glad I went elsewhere.

Thank you for this. I'm about to do a mini-unit w/ my students on misinformation in public health & this is actually a really helpful explanation of what to do instead of just refuting it.

That map sure is interesting, though...

In fact, if anything worse because that means it could have been anyone at anytime!

Passive voice working overtime in that article, which makes it sound like it was possibly from someone hunting on private property, not, y’know, because it’s next to the official PD gun range.

Ugh. We have some of these fortress-like, SFH-where-there-should-be-10 monstrosities in Chicago, too. The architecture is just so transparently "we're here to extract from the neighborhood & contribute nothing" w/ the blank wall at ground level. Wouldn't want to accidentally interact with the peons.

And yes, I remember because I served jury duty in August 2015 so we were without our phones for portion of the day and the big joke in the jury room was” ha ha, wonder what he said today?” And I remember thinking we were in trouble even then

Y’all can we please, please not “Ha ha, he tweets funny!” that unserious California governor into the nomination in 2028 (if there is such a thing) the same way we did Trump in 2016?
