i believe you will have a nice time in this splash zone if you are not having a nice time in the further-west splash zone (where i will be crying my big gay beautiful heart out to @themountaingoats.bsky.social)

chicago cyclists take care of each other, i love my nation of chicago

Hi I never post but I’m trying to get in touch with a cyclist I saw get hit yesterday on Clark/lawrence. I have their bike and some witness phone numbers! (They gave me their number but their phone got fucked up) If you know someone named Chance who bikes could you put me in touch?

Love someone back. Molly Brodak

michigander implies the existence of michigoose

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BABIES

happy pride to bisexual cyclists, we go both ways

Most rappers never achieve what Missy Elliott achieved in her prime-era run Hell, most rappers don't even achieve a song as great as "Pass That Dutch," which is like her twelfth-biggest hit

poetry can be fun and shitposts and anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is selling something* *an MFA program etc

my mayor pro union my hot dogs celery salted all ICE activity must be permanently halted

incredibly salient advice

My mayor gay Those dogs at Basement are gay I am gay The Knicks won

they should not show me timothy chimothy wonkaman on the sports television broadcast imo, i dislike his face. thank you for reading my incisive cultural commentary on bsky dot app website this evening

they were right and we are all basketball fans at this moment; socialist mayor champions stay winning

elegant posting, for discerning audiences

and you know the reason i really love the stars is that we cannot hurt them. we can't burn them or melt them or make them overflow. we can't flood them or blow them up or turn them out. but we are reaching for them. we are reaching for them youtu.be/CEHm9LK9vtU

inside of me are two wolves, and one wolf has too many bags already and needs to sell at least one, and the other wolf is howling forever in the direction of pigeon bag, and possibly both wolves are actually pigeons? further research required

having a normal one (looking out at the rain listening to my glitchy tunes and being mad that mira calix died young)

surprise acoustic more eaze and wendy eisenberg on generator power at the empty bottle was magical. when people who love each other make art together and chicago shows up for it… that’s the fuckin stuff

"we need to improve poetry literacy in society" and "stop posting Instagram poems" are incompatible worldviews.

“Hideout-adjacent dickcissel” sounds like an insult hurled by George Clooney in a Coen bros heist movie.

THERE YA GO, BOSS fuckin love chicago

i’m babes (will be there, will also be reading, hell yeah)

A bike planner died on his community’s streets, and I wish that this was a unifying moment for the transpo practitioner community to come together to demand networks of all-ages facilities for people on bikes. Not ITS or robocars or bulbouts. All-ages bike facilities. RIP Riley O’Neil.

incisive commentary on private ownership of bike share (divvy should be a public utility don’t @ me) #bikechi
