Raven Johnson revenge game downloaded.

I will repeat that showing pictures of the Beetle Blue Tern GSD is rude to me specifically (a person who had theirs unceremoniously stolen).

Remember! Drivers/cars have no object permanence. Signs like these are important to remind them that just because a street is closed, the business along the street might still be open.

Weather was nice enough today that I decided to walk from Belmont/Kedzie to Lake/Kedzie (green line) rather than my usual all-transit route… (definitely inspired by the walk below)

If Rahm runs, I will reprise my “bike to all 81 Chicago Public Library branches” to bike to the 50 CPS schools Emanuel closed, because fuck that guy.

I forget the exact @tomflood.bsky.social quote about walkable communities meaning dads don’t have to drive their kids everywhere. But as the dad of a 1st and 5th grader that now walk themselves to school on nice days, the extra time for coffee does indeed slap.

Brian’s been a real one for a minute. Remember, if the gov’t can use it’s “magic wand” to turn a peaceful protest into a “spontaneous conspiracy” than the rights to free speech and assembly no longer exist.

I can’t explain it…but that’s the most Kim Mulkey end to a game in a while… some camera person has to have the immediate reaction shot of her after the game-winning shot.

A bike ride to get a bahn mi from Nhu Lan and then eating it by the lake would fix me.

ICE isn't just law enforcement, it's a jobs program that operates explicitly on ideological fealty to Trump and the American Fascist program. Our wealth is being stolen and redirected to people who will carry out violence on the rest of us, creating an occupying army that will infiltrate everything.

WHAT A FINISH TO THE MINNESOTA vs. OLE MISS GAME IN THE NCAAW TOURNAMENT

It’s not always clear when you’re prepping for yet another community meeting about bike safety about the time horizon you’ll see results on… …so let me just say that the first spring weekends when everyone is riding slaps.

I drove my daughter to a dance competition in Oswego IL and was taken by how few people there were outside their cars on a beautiful spring day. …anyways…15-minute cities fucking rule.

Bring back shame for drivers!

Got called “hard-headed as fuck” by a driver today for refusing to accept the right-of-way they offered (their car was a length into the intersection when they stopped). I had to get off my bike and sit on the curb to convince them I was serious lmao.

I can’t prove it, but highly seeded UW-Madison MBB teams always do the funniest thing during March madness.

Kat for IL-9 and then the Broadview ZERO if we’re lucky.

FOUR. TO. GO (on these bullshit charges)

When I say Chicago is perfect…

Search your camera roll for hell (Not quite hell since Apple misinterpreted the curls/loops on the “w”, but still funny as hell).

Boys just want one thing (and it’s sooo wholesome): A lakefront approach to O’Hare (followed by a silver line ride home).

Illinois friends! I’m voting for Stratton. We need fighters not appeasers and sympathizers.

Waste. Fraud. Abuse.

This would go so hard as a bike horn.

Some really questionable coaching decisions by one of these two women down the stretch (hint: it’s the same coach with some really questionable fashion choices).

challenge for those who are very confident my calculator isn’t a person: explain how my calculator isn’t a person

Hell. Yes. “Everything we can save is worth saving. Everything we can do is worth doing.”

I celebrated Chicago’s birthday (Happy 189 you old beaut!) by joining our company’s AllCompany Show-and-Share from my bicycle. Most people decided to show off their pets, but I decided to show one of my favorite streets in Chicago (Midway Park in the Austin neighborhood).

I shared this image in a work chat and a co-worker used it as an opportunity to tease the fact they are considering getting an Urban arrow for the daycare drop-off/work commute. I STAY WINNING.

If you thought playing org politics in a tech company was hard (my day job), I invite you to play on hard… Unclear ownership across multiple orgs that all have a voice in the conversation: * local govt * public works * school staff * district staff * PTO * state DOT (depends on the road)

I WON! The “powers that be” FINALLY agreed to put in interim safety measures for a dangerous crosswalk near my kids school. I saw a child almost killed in this intersection and still took almost 2-years of sustained public comment, emailing elected officials, school principal and district.

Underrated Chicago Municipal Device on the Hall branch facade… Can confirm…any branch is cool.

(whispering) a stupid bike ride would fix me (the terminus is the western-most point on Bryn Mawr ave in Chicago city limits).

Anywho, there's no better time than now to put your ideas out there and invite other people to do things with you. Might as well try. You don't have to know everything before starting. You can just start.

This would go so hard as latte art.

Do any good thing you can, no matter how small. No good thing is ever insignificant.

RIP. First Blommers chocolate and then the neon sign. Milwaukee Ave losing some ICONS.

This thread accurately captures the Shock-and-Awe of stupidity that is the couples on this season of Love Is Blind.

Can confirm. Would play.

There is so much pent up demand for joy and to believe in the future.

Note to self: the warmer weather means that more drivers can hear you when you tell them to go fuck themselves for running a stop sign.

I love my Chicago bike friends…I’ll tell you that for free.

One of my favourite things about riding my bicycle to work is that I get to say "good morning" to people who pass by. It's a wonderfully social world outside.

If we’re saying useful things that stuck from Latin… “affect” comes from the Latin root ad + facio (to make towards) and “effect” comes from the root ex + facio (to make from). The first one is the verb form and the second one is the noun form. I’ve never mixed up affect and effect since!

If you’re salty, they’re salty! Show your bike some love and give it a bath this Valentine’s Day!

Obligatory “go outside/the sunset is beautiful” for Chicago friends (you can maybe still catch the tail end of it).

Pic from my bike commute home past the roadside memorial next to where Silverio was murdered by ICE. #ElPuebloUnido

Undeniably correct. It also has the potential to reset your perceptions of neighborliness. THEM: you bike through the west side. Isn’t that dangerous? ME: never had an issue. It’s not uncommon for kids to shout “I like your bike”. And people will even chat you at a light if the weather is nice.

It has to suck so much having her perspective and then see the NFL explicitly target international audiences with games in places like Mexico, Brazil, and Spain… lmao
