A sunset selfie of me with the Chicago skyline, a sailboat, and a light house. Taken from a boat on Lake Michigan.

A hazy view of the Chicago skyline taken during sunset from a boat on Lake Michigan.

Got to spend Saturday on a boat, and while the air quality was bad, it did make for a great sunset.

Everyday we take another step towards making the movie Idiocracy a prophecy.

Picture of the concrete beach and Lake Michigan. Coast guard ship is entering frame right. Blue skies and blue water.

Stopped for a little lakeside beer on the bike ride to a friends birthday. Hard to beat this city amenity

Turin is such a great bike shop too! Happy new tires day 😁

I love not only that this is true but that Dexter Holland is as much of a Guy Fieri-ass frosted tips goober as ever, he just sort of took a break from the HB pop punk scene to be centrally involved in curing AIDS and is now back focusing on his "Gringo Bandito" hot sauce

After dealing with some pretty bad dental phobia due to some traumatic experiences as a child, not much feels better than getting out of a check up with a “no cavities” report from my dentist!!

It's a bizarre and frankly alienating feeling realizing that if you know the basic fact that the murder rate has gone down significantly since 1990 you're in the ~90th+ percentile of fact-knowers

I walked to the coffee shop to get away from my computer for a bit and ran into three friends in the short trip. Something I really love about my neighborhood, and it put me in a better mood! 😁

Opened Facebook last night to check in on someone that popped into mind. What a mistake, every neighborhood group was complaining about cyclists, and it bummed me out. Gonna stay away far from that place going forward.

Happy birthday! My 30’s have been much fun, so hell yeah, be excited and celebrate yourself!

Turns out a bike ride and a beer fixed my mood

Thanks, I think this is the 4th for me as well, since I was laid off, and I’m feeling the same. Thinking I’m going to allow myself to be sad about it for a little this afternoon and then get back to it.

Was just passed on for a job I interviewed for last week. Really thought I had it after the final interview, 😞 the current state of the job market is really taking a toll on my mental health. I just want stable income and health insurance again.

A deer next to a picnic table, taken at night. It had just crossed my path 3 feet in front of me.

I biked to a concert in the suburbs last week. Meant to take more photos along the way as it was mostly nice bike paths. I forgot because I was having fun! I did come across a deer on the way home though, casually crossing in front of me. Ya don’t get that close when driving a car.

Protected Intersections For Bicyclists Protected bike lanes are the latest approach US cities are taking to help their residents get around by bike. But these protected lanes lose their buffer separation…

If you have any involvement in planning streets, this video is must-see vimeo.com/86721046?fl=...

Look at that packed bike lane and all that empty street for cars. Maybe expand the bike lane?

I would never put ketchup on a hotdog. I only put it on my Malört.

A point of pride for how low Chicago is ranked among republicans

Feels like the energy in the late show writing room is probably unhinged right now. Keep it up.

Black brown and white mini Australian shepherd named broccoli. He’s doing a big yawn with his eyes closed.

Here’s a funny looking broccoli! That’s a big yawn 😁

I crocheted a very smol wolf. First thing I've done since getting super burned out a few months ago and I love him.

That color way is so amazing!!

Went to a show this weekend and caught one of the openers @nakedbrunchbox.bsky.social , and was blown away. One of the many things I love about living in Chicago.

Tilly and broccoli are the phone wallpaper of course.
