Most prison labor is done by incarcerated people. But we receive little preparation for jobs inside or jobs after release.

Prisons Rely on Us Working Jobs. So Why Aren’t We Trained for Them?
Most prisons use incarcerated people in jobs that contribute to the operation of the prison, such as maintenance, sanitation or clerical work.

During a training at work, the trainer said we needed to pay attention to the “needy-greedy” details and my head has wanted to explode ever since.

This man is filth and ruined everything he touches. Set aside the fact that he covered up the brutal police murder of an unarmed teen. His legacy is gutted Chicago public schools and libraries, taking the Public Option out of the Affordable Care Act, and convincing Obama to go smaller 1/2

When my almost-21 year-old was 3, I remember a March day in Iowa that seemed unbelievable. It felt like a breezy, spring day and he went to the park in a long sleeve shirt, no jacket. The weather was so odd, the day stayed with me. I have pics somewhere. Today, 18 years later, it was 85 degrees.

My googling went off the rails and I discovered that the actor who plays Greg in Succession put out a song during the pandemic: “If you come within 6 ft, it’s mask on, mask on, mask on, mask on But if you got antibodies, it’s pants off, pants off, pants off, pants off”

We have a raccoon that hangs out on our roof for a while each evening, outside our upstairs hallway window. He shows up right before we head to bed for the night. We’ve named him Ernesto and each night we add to his lore.

My 80 year old mom spends a lot of time on sketchy dating sites. It’s been an issue. Her current interest was someone who said they were Sen Jack Reed from RI. She says the big red flag was that he said he was living in San Diego. It seems it wasn’t a red flag that he claimed to be a senator.

Some of us can’t afford healthcare or treatment, and it’s appalling that our leaders won’t support universal healthcare. It’s even more appalling that in Iowa cancer rates keep increasing and our leaders refuse to do anything about it.

Getting word of federal immigration agents operating in multiple areas around Chicagoland this morning. Rapid responders report agents took at least one person around 7 a.m. from Chicago's Hermosa neighborhood; agents were also seen in the suburb of Berwyn, though it's not clear if anyone was taken.
