Halloween 🎃

We were alone with the quiet day, and his little heart, dispossessed, had stopped. Henry James, The Turn of the Screw #sundaysentence #booksky

Rapid Transit Squealing under city stone The millions on the millions run, Every one a life alone, Every one a soul undone: — James Agee, 1937

The Block Club Chicago newsroom continues to report on today’s federal immigration activity across Chicago. If you have footage of agent activity you filmed, please reach out via this website: blockclubchi.co/3IIYou4

Good morning, Chicago

Loved Olga Dies Dreaming and the accompanying #onebookonechicago film and discussion last night, esp after just finishing The Battle of Lincoln Park. Kudos, CPL 📚🏠❤️ #OBOC

A neighbor said she saw agents dragging residents, including children, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers, she said. “It was heartbreaking,” she said. ⁦‪@Suntimes‬⁩ ⁦‪@WBEZ‬⁩ www.wbez.org/immigration/...

PRO TIP: they’re running the century-old 4000 series trains around the loop today! you can still catch one if you hurry!

It's a great day when you get to ride n old school train around the loop ❤️🚉

How I feel about the news Also happy halloween #chicago

Downtown Chicago, today. The little girl …

In which a top US Border Patrol official, incredibly, tells my tall and Anglo colleague @chipmitchell1.bsky.social that he's not the type they're looking for as they go about downtown Chicago arresting people based on "how they look" chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Journalism is not a crime. My friend Steve has done critically important work here in Chicago and we must stand up for the First Amendment and the public’s right to know.

She felt about her mother much as she felt about Puerto Rico itself: mysterious and unknown entities. Her only certainty about either was that they, somehow, were both a part of Olga. Xochitl Gonzalez, Olga Dies Dreaming #sundaysentence #booksky #onebookonechicago #OBOC

A wee poetry

Olga noted how differently the garment communicated on their lithe, flat bodies. How it bathed them in effortless elegance. She noted how much she felt herself in a costume for a life she could never have. Xochitl Gonzalez, Olga Dies Dreaming #sundaysentence #oboc #booksky

Good morning from the bus. The driver will be having none of your nonsense 🚌😂 Happy Friday!

A very good #bookhaul day at the Chicago Public Library ❤️📚 @jfkane.bsky.social #booksky #amreafing

More and more I'm finding it necessary to wade out into the ocean and stare at the horizon.

This is perfect.

A perfect, cool evening on the edge of fall #chicago

Small, podgy, and at best middle-aged, he was by appearance one of London's meek who do not inherit the earth. A perennial #sundaysentence favorite from John Le Carré - Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. #booksky
