I own a house now and I'm trying to furnish it with real furniture. To that end I just won this antique bedroom set on auction for $33.35

“Because our conscious demands it!” Reverend David Black #chicago #fdt #davidblack #realchristian #immigration

An 87M just passed me by downtown. M must stand for mystery, always strange when the buses have weird letters

God bless the Woke Pope, may he exceed the years of Peter!

I've never seen anything more perfect in my life

Made bread for the first time this weekend and it wasn't very airy but it tasted incredible and I'm addicted now

Mount Troy is less of a walker's paradise than the South Side (which admittedly could not be more of a walker's paradise) but I am happy that I can walk to my polling place and meet the people running for school board positions, who are my neighbors

By the time I got home from work at 6:15 it was well and truly dark, like middle of the night dark. I would just like to know how I'm expected to operate under these circumstances

And is there a Mrs. Goodbar?

Radiant heat is great for many reasons (maybe best even), as long as you don't mind earth-shattering noises emanating all night from the bowels of your house as various beams and joists contract and expand from 170°F pipes

It's dark now forever. We will die in this darkness. Six months ago this time felt like late afternoon. Now it’s 1 AM. This variance is intolerable. Something must be done.

Many wonder whether adding a bay leaf to their soups and stews "does anything." I don't care personally, I like doing it as a kind of ritual. A little sacrifice

A poem for All Souls’ Day from Jane Kenyon

Friends, the gilded ballroom offers us a foretaste of heaven, where the dance of Trinitarian love will gleam in streets of gold and there will be no poor people

I am a fan of Hallowe'en. One of the only cool things we do in this country

Something gnawed at my jack o'lantern's eyes overnight and made it look spookier

Trying to remember what it was like to sit out on my porch in the summer evening

Every track on $10 Cowboy is an absolute banger

Woke up late with a little headache which was instantly cured merely by smelling my morning coffee but I do not have a problem

Ripping up the carpets in my house so the floor can be refinished and I'm seeing staples in my sleep

Nutmeg contains natural psychoactive compounds, mainly myristicin and elemicin, which can act as mild hallucinogens in large doses. Ingesting more than about five to ten grams can cause nausea, disorientation, and, at higher levels, psychosis with visual hallucinations and an intense sense of dread.

Every time I walk up Rialto Street I grow stronger.

I feel like if you name your 19th-century Artic expedition ships the "Erebus" the "Terror" you're kind of asking for it

People are always like why don't you get enough sleep and it's because at 11 PM last night I was using Python scripts to generate an isometric contour map of Pittsburgh from USGS elevation data so my pen plotter could draw the topography of my daily commute

Werner Herzog: I found myself in stunned surprise. In that moment I was sure I knew all there was to know. It was as my fate had been revealed to me. It would be impossible for me to ever grow older. In a way I died. Joe Rogan, drinking a glass of medicinal antifreeze: That happened to me too.

My brother sent me a link to this guy's YouTube channel. He's been to 10,700 restrooms in Pittsburgh and counting and has tested and rated every toilet. Here's the bathroom nearest to my office at work youtu.be/oiKAIWt7jGE?...

That's right 💪💪💪 www.wesa.fm/development-...

Nobody smokes anymore except for the people at the Liberty + Tito bus stop downtown

Pittsburgh excellence

Having a pain au chocolat and I know this seems ungrateful even to mention, but it may be actually too flaky

Where I woke up this morning

I honestly cannot fathom how people have the time to watch TV

What is this Shop 'n Save Halloween decoration trying to depict

What if we kissed... on Parsley Way? 😳👉👈😚

They turned out very delicious but not brothy at all (which had been my plan). I feel like even at this point, as they chill in the fridge, I could, if needed, make them brothier

In 10/10 scenarios I would rather have Robusta instant coffee than any Keurig product

Making beans. Just sauteed an onion and a carrot in about an inch of bacon fat

Every time I walk up Rialto Street I grow stronger.

Octavio Ocampo Columbus's lips being a crucifix is a great detail. A wooden, inevitable gaze, a portent of destruction (and rebirth?)

How do I get Google Photos to stop sending me notifications about my mom like "Same Andrea, Different Places"

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

When you find a photo of your great grandfather and he was kind of jacked

Every time I walk up Rialto Street I grow stronger.

I must regain something of the spirit I had when I was a child

At the bus stop and my ears hurt. Even the most extreme summer heat never causes me physical pain

It's honestly so cold right now, I can't believe that it is supposed to get colder than this, for so many months. I'm not going to make it

Is there a German word for the horror of seeing one's correct and well-considered opinions—to wit that, faith traditions aside, there's no reason to circumcise your child and you should favor their bodily autonomy over all else—co-opted by fascist lunatics for their own insane reasons?

If you've never taken a walk along Pittview in the evening, may I recommend it to you?

Every time I walk up Rialto Street I grow stronger

The world if handymen and contractors ever returned your calls or got back to you in any way
