Sometimes, you read an idea that so clearly sums up an experience that you didn't know you were having, repeatedly. At every work place. For all of time. Thanks @maxread.info for the glimpse into the human experience. I feel seen.

I designed and made a teapot for folks who might need more leverage when pouring from a full teapot. I still have the strength to pour a regular pot but really appreciate the extra stability. I have a few other versions coming out of the kiln soon!

I bet some of those 77 voters didn't know they were undocumented. I see it over and over again, parents don't tell their kids they are undocumented. They find out when they fill out FAFSA or want to get a documented job. I can EASILY see an 18 year old excitedly registering to vote and not knowing.

CV Dazzle Makeup might be a smart move. It doesn't have to be as aesthetic as these examples, but this is a good guide. adam.harvey.studio/cvdazzle/

The strike on Tesla worked. Elon went running scared back to his board, like the weak ballsack he is. We can boycott the mega corporations that fund this regime. We have the power. #generalstrike #boycott #abolishice

I think we should do mega corporation boycott until ICE is abolished. Those corporations are making this all possible. And they're destroying our communities

The only thing these monsters listen to is money. How do we organize a huge boycott of the mega corporations funding this regime? Amazon, meta, target, private equity owned assets, and so on. @katmabu.bsky.social @adamkinzinger.substack.com @aoc.bsky.social #generalstrike #boycott

Is Forbes trolling us?

Subliminal messaging. Plus, I drive past soldier field right before the last game, DO NOT DO THIS

I've never worked with a Nobel winner, but I know folks who have. I'm pretty sure that when you receive a Nobel prize, they give you a bunch of medals. So you can share them with the people who helped you with your research... or as a bribe to a petty dictator.

WHY?! Why does my apple advertise a sitcom?!?

Here is my question: could they not get custom-made plaques? Like why does the content have to fit on one specific sized plaque? Did they buy the plaques at Home Depot?

Our understanding of our bodies is so limited. Kinda explains our current healthcare system.

I've been working on these customized sneakers for my 11 year old niece. She's a girly T Swift fan who loves an inspirational phrase.

If you live in Chicago and have never taken the holiday train, what are your waiting for?! Every part is decorated. Even the arrival signs have little candy canes. And you get to see adults worn out from a day at work trying to pretend like they haven't notice it is the holiday train. Pure joy!

@duckworth.senate.gov come get your guy! Please tell Sen Durbin to vote no. We don't want this!

@durbin.senate.gov please don't do this. I used to be so proud to have you as my senator. Please, do the right thing for your constituents. I would rather not fly ever again in my life if it meant my neighbors had access to healthcare. DON'T NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORIST.

Free Walk-up grocery market at Chicago Chicken & Waffles,3933 S. King Drive (in the adjacent parking lot) happening right now. Bring your own bags.

To the democratic party "elders" watching and thinking they can jump on the bandwagon: we don't want you making funny man on the street tik toks, we don't want you lamely advocating for free buses, we don't want you, period. You've had your chance. #zohran #progressive #future #fucktrump

RELO Direct is helping to house the ICE goons. Making money off the invasion of our city.

Half of my photo reel is screenshots for later art making inspiration from posts by @womensartbluesky.bsky.social

Hey Chicago, you are thinking right now, what can I do to help? Get out in immigrant communities and spend money! Go get tacos, papusas, tamales and pho. Buy crafts or groceries. Reply with spots you've visited! #Chicago #littlevillage #midway #fuckice #pilsen #argyle

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

A billion sprinklers just so summer can cosplay as spring.

Everyone who thinks that voters are responding to their own lived experience needs to explain this graph.

I’m sorry but I really have to stand up for myself and independent media here. Everyone is crediting Ken Delanian for the Maxwell sex offender waiver story, but I was hours ahead of him. Hours. Independent media is important.

Hey, this is not even a joke #AcademicWriting #AcademicChatter

@elisabethbik.bsky.social how do we appropriately educate our student researchers on how to read literature right now? I'm struggling. Sigh.

Interesting juxtaposition in the @chicago.suntimes.com this morning

This flawed preprint claims that COVID-19 mRNA vaccination causes transcriptomic dysregulation and cancer. But all it does is showing that sick people differ in gene expression from healthy ones. Duh. My critical review at Science Integrity Digest here: scienceintegritydigest.com/2025/07/25/p...

I need a book recommendation! I’m looking for a children’s poetry anthology. Something my niece will enjoy for a long time. With classics and more. Beautiful illustrations. Thoughtfully put together. Ideas? My local book shop closed, so I turn to you. #booksky #poetry #kidsbooks #independentbookshop

I have sent a copy of ‘The Onion’ to every member of Congress. To spread its message to less powerful people, I have also taken out an ad in a lesser newspaper. Read my full letter here: theonion.com/why-im-sendi...

Anyone else remember the "Year of the MOOC?" That was fun, wasn't it?

"i asked grok" "i asked chagpt" yeah well I asked a rare books librarian and they found things I didn’t even know I was looking for, while answering questions about provenance

Not providing customized AI anything in my classes

bear witness

Higher ed is completely broken. It has been broken for a long time. Before Trump. But I don’t know if we’ll survive this…

I use a wonderful local pharmacy, they are so helpful and care so much about their patients. Today, Blue Cross Blue Shield Illinois told me they will no longer cover my prescriptions if I buy them from my local pharmacy. @govpritzker.illinois.gov how is this legal in Illinois?!

A snapshot of our housing market right here

I AM 5’10” and this doesn’t even help me me.

you want to know one reason people are losing trust in the media? it’s the total inability to call things what they are some guy on YouTube: “wow this is the most corrupt shit I’ve ever seen” the Times: “critics say it raises appearance of impropriety” who are people going to take seriously?

To win reelection in 2029, Pope Leo needs to spend less time talking about poverty in Peru and more time focusing on the kitchen table issues that white working-class Catholics care about.

We forget the impact of physical media. Sure, this is amusing in a screen shot from the @chicago.suntimes.com website. But on physical front page? It’s perfection.

I have quite a few undocumented young people in my life. One of them just had her DACA renewed. I keep thinking about the poor souls who are still plugging away in the federal government, trying their best to do their jobs. THANK YOU to the person who processed that application. 1/2

My goal working with healthcare grad students is to get them to THINK. Use their real knowledge to synthesize new ideas. I tell them AI won’t ever be able to do that for them. But I guess it can write a $120 book on cancer for you. pivot-to-ai.com/2025/04/12/1...

"Statistically, most news consumers are not protesting" is fucking brain dead. Statistically most news consumers are not doing any of the newsworthy things you report on!

Biblical scholars now believe that if Jesus had covered up his gang tattoos, he might’ve avoided crucifixion.

Your periodic reminder that one way to think about privilege is: who's allowed to make mistakes?
