What is going on with this guy? Every photo he either looks terrified or like he's about to cry. Something isn't right by him

@bibliogrrl.bsky.social you think an enclosed but not heated Chicago porch would be good bun habitat? I could certainly even give them an insulated hutch. I'd give them free reign in the apartment when I was home. Next apartment has large back porch.

I live in Rogers Park, with A FUCK of a lot of light pollution, and even I could get pictures of the Aurora.

trying to renew my healthcare coverage and the farthest i got was a page with a phone number and a bar that said "save my progress" ugh why so complicated. i just want to stay on the same plan

certainly not the first season. no paid holidays.

All About Love, bell hooks. I dog eared every page, circa March 2020. That book became a part of me and in a way is tied up with that whole liminal era. A lot of time spent in the park pondering its pages

do you guys know about the jawbone of St Anthony

Last light for Tuesday. Sunset in Chicago this evening at St Mary of the Angels church.

Journalist friends, you know what to do. Sarah Kendzior was suspended, she doesn’t know why, and the head of T&S said he won’t confirm whether or not the suspension was intentional unless media requests hit a threshold

ok one last post -- oldheads are always going to "why is the web dying.... how can we get the kids invested in the free and open web" bro the kids can't read. that's why the web is dying. first things first

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

Seeing an A1c drop by just over one point (person is now at goal A1c) and the *only* thing I changed was consistent access to the medications the person needed via our medication assistance program. Imagine the better health we could have if it was this way for all people in the US.
