ok but i looked into selling plasma a couple months ago and it doesn’t even pay enough for the hassle imo

Still processing this choice by @chicagomag.com. No matter how they couch it, they’re elevating an unapologetic bigot. There’s a lot of real estate between ignoring him and ranking him among the most powerful people in Chicago (ahem, Berwyn), and Chicago Magazine jumped over all of it, eyes closed.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

thank you for setting the correct tone 🫡

zero regrets on my new address, someone on my block has been blasting slow jams all day and this is the only Valentine‘s Day festivities i want

the other day I ate mostly candy and I'm still upset about how I just can't do that anymore :( so I am right here with you

every day is a struggle against our aging and decaying meat sacks

Alleged someone allegedly burning a concentration camp in Kansas City.

Suburban wine moms will really be like "you believe in voting? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, firebombing a concentration camp" and then very effectively firebomb a concentration camp

we are in hell

you can just not fund this shit under any circumstances

you don’t have to pretend they need better training, or are doing an important job incorrectly

they’re just racist thugs doing ethnic cleansing and the whole gang should be in jail

He was crowdfunding his treatments. James couldn’t afford his health care.

Holy shit (if this were the show, it would be chloe faking a death press release to sell his apartment 🥲)

We’re probably only aware of a fraction of ways people have had to change their lives in the cities with ICE/CBP operations.

The MCA should respond by installing a Wesley Willis drawing of Comiskey Park

Please buy a couple items off this list if you can! It will help street medics in some of the most terrorized parts of the Twin Cities

How The Great Migration — And Segregation — Built The South Side's Black-Owned Lounge Culture For more than a century, cocktail lounges — distinct from dive bars and nightclubs — have served as essential gathering places for Black Chicagoans.

Whistles are compatible with documentation and showing care, and I’m so confused about the whistle hate. Maybe their communities are very different from ours, but here we don’t like ICE operating in silence and secrecy, and loud noises help make sure that doesn’t happen.

Only 1 in 4 of Chicago’s indie music venues is profitable. Owners say that data spells potential trouble Sold-out shows aren’t enough. Higher costs are undercutting business everywhere, owners say, from juggernauts like Metro to neighborhood venues like the Ramova.

Interesting report on the economic health of Chicago’s constellation of independent venues that’s also strangely agnostic towards LiveNation and Ticketmaster’s impact

if you think their business model is based on finding lost puppies, boy do I have an authoritarian military industrial state apparatus to upsell you

there is room in my heart for every kind of pizza

Let me take a moment to plug @liberationlib.bsky.social, who send books (chosen by the kids, wherever possible) to incarcerated kids. Those kids are mostly teenagers. They are also cruelly dehumanized by an inhumane system.

Wake up, workers of the world, a new second-person plural pronoun dropped.

We as gay people need to make sure she is never forgotten! 😞

We’re waiting for you, Colette, you’ll get here eventually

Trying very hard to stay more positive these days, but it's hard to reach any other conclusion than that, collectively, we're terrible people for letting this happen and for not storming those facilities to free those kids and their families.

Those of us with the biggest privileges have the biggest responsibility to take risks. Not all of us pay the same price for resistance.
