With any Republican voter that ever appears in a photo op, you've got to assume that they're a fraud & just getting paid for it

i bought an actual bonsai today. it's small. a 2-3 year old sapling I believe is what she said. it's a larch. the street my mom grew up on was larch, so I decided I wanted one. i'm happy about it.

The best of us were thrown to the wolves with AIDS, lack of access to health care, depression without treatment, etc...

Post a picture of yourself as a doctor

okay but "bog down logistics" come on

I swear, I leave the house and my laptop battery is at twelve percent. I come home, still at twelve percent. If only there were some means by which I could exert some influence upon this situation.

COME AND TAKE IT

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

i'm watching bonsai videos on youtb and this guy has his mic clipped to his pony tail beard and i just cannot take him seriously

@auberon.bsky.social guess who swept the Cubs today? first at home series without a win since 2023 apparently

It's pronounced "Troop Street." That's how the late Mr. Throop said it.

Uh, duh

i love the story about LaKenzo, who got famous for collecting discontinued crayola dandelion crayons and made the crayon so popular that crayola brought it back and made her the face of it they flew her to the factory she got to make crayons and box them up and they treated her like royalty

i don’t want my appliances to be smart or connect to the internet. i want them to do one mechanical task for 100 years

good thread 🧵🙏❤️

This really hurts cause it's true

Time to get to work

Make a wish.

greatest city in the world right here

The Pointer Sisters will forever be the undisputed Queens of math rock

Apparently I texted my sister while I was high and eating cake frosting out of the container because today she was like maybe you shouldn't eat cake frosting out of the container and I was like wow I forgot all about that and then I threw out the container so I don't do it again

I'm in this camp. I DO NOT want to have to self ID in order to use social media and/or the internet in general. No social media company has demonstrated they are secure enough to have access to my government identification.

I finally broke the serial dog pooper/walker from using my yard for a toilet. Her pink MA-GA hat alone sets me off. She said “I don’t pick up shit.” I said: “Well, you’re about to wear it.” ☠️ Now she runs away when she sees me. I cannot deal with people who don’t clean up after their pups.

This seems amoral, not what I want out of our collective defense

"You know that detergent jug is 80% water right?" "Oh yeah, so's your mom!" Me talking back to radio ads because I am feeling shut-in.

how do i get an alert for when the first orioles are spotted in chicago. i have plans

no shit

This is a lovely, hopeful thread.

I been failing at bonsai now for more than a decade and finally I'm starting to have something to show for it.

a lot of anxiety on the timeline. i get that

Perfect song for today: youtu.be/kIq8jLj5TzU?...

Chat How's your tree ID? It's weedy but I dont think it's buckthorn. That's elsewhere on the same parcel.

Now for the best part of the evening where I watch bonsai videos until I pass out

The boat crews should all be wearing ape costumes.

@caryjo.bsky.social I stopped by the alderman's today to get the ball rolling on repatriating this embankment

I believe that it is everyone’s work to be able to talk about death and dying. the general population needs to relearn how to to support those who are in close proximity to death through caregiving, bereavement, exposure to natural disasters, scarcity, state violence, or potentially terminal illness

Burnt the pizza a little and still managed to inhale 7/9 of it #chicagostyle

@auberon.bsky.social congratulations on your win

Telling people "just stop working" isn't going to work. We all need to be organizing & preparing for a general strike May 1, 2028. And our terms need to be big, broad, & many—Medicare for All, divest from Israel, free childcare, abolish ICE, free college/student loan forgiveness, rent control, &more

“Good,” said Frog.

Any Chicago inaturalist folks here? Excited to get back out and scout out plants. There are no weeds just plants we haven't met yet. #urbsinhorto

Chicago mutuals who might be interested in a 4/20 party lmk. It would be a casual gathering in my apartment or backyard weather depending.

@maryldixon.bsky.social @pksmid.bsky.social I would not want to live on the moon because I like gardening, walkable neighborhoods, and tavern style pizza. It would also be tough to make my monthly oncology treatments. Fun show today keep it up thanks
