Rollin Hand (played by Martin Landau in the TV series Mission Impossible), holds one hand to his belly in what can only be described as cautiously rapt anticipation. His other hand is on the handle of a glass door indicating that adult education classes are held inside the building. At the upper right, a sign also promises "floor show."
Rollin's got all the feels. My upcoming virtual classes at the Newberry Library include "Watching and Reading Shakespeare's Hamlet" and "A Serial Reading of George Eliot's The Mill on the Floss." Available to all. Details to come.

โ'To read a poem as part of a justification or a rationale for a judgment of this importance shows how art can express the complexities of what weโre living through in ways that maybe other forms of speech canโt,' said [Srikanth "Chicu"] Reddy."

Caving on a deal that doesnโt fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.
Hold the line. Save health care. Iโm a NO on anything that doesnโt extend ACA subsidies.

ICE agents accused of pointing gun at state Rep. Hoan Huynh in Albany Park
Hoan Huynh was alerting the community on the Northwest Side to the presence of federal agents when they blocked his vehicle on a residential street and an agent pointed a gun at him and others in the ...
ICE agents just pulled a gun on Rep. Hoan Huynh โ for alerting the community to ICE's presence.ย

If this can happen to an elected official, it can happen to anyone. I stand with Rep. Huynh and his right to protect our neighbors.

Thatโs the other thing that baffles me about AI and creative writing, actually.
The work IS the joy for me. I donโt want to be able to snap my fingers and have a completed โproduct.โ I want to be transformed by the process. Iโm an author but I do this because I enjoy the rigor of being a writer.

It was only two weeks ago when we first saw an ICE agent unholster his sidearm at Broadview. Since then, there have been many reports of agents directly pointing their guns at protesters. The escalation is escalating.
