How is it that the trashy, campy Tim Burton movie "Sleepy Hollow" (which I love, to be clear) has better costumes than like 90% of period pieces these days?

It's layering weather, which means more fun outfit pictures. I picked up this corduroy blazer from an antique store in Milwaukee. Not 100% confident it meshes well with these brown wool trousers - I'm open to hearing people's opinions. #menswear

Please note: as of 11:30AM today, agents have restrictions on chemical weapons / "less lethal" munitions they are *supposed* to follow (🫠). This isn't limited to preplanned protests, it also applies to neighbors and rapid responders. If you see pepper balls fired...note it

Let's see if Bluesky lets me post this photo this time.

Why the hell did Bluesky delete my photo of that Neon Genesis Evangelion depression study ad, there's literally nothing objectionable about it.

papers like the New York Times actively help right wing propagandists by introducing false claims as something that's open to debate and interpretation, instead of clearly framing them up front as lies pushed by unreliable operators Turning Point USA is a right wing propaganda op aimed at kids

It's a fuckign NEON GENESIS EVANGELION-THEMED DEPRESSION STUDY RECRUITMENT AD

Here come dat boi!!!!!

sin that pays its way can travel freely, and without a passport; whereas Virtue, if a pauper, is stopped at all frontiers

An accused Defendant does not have to prove ANYTHING. If I present zero evidence at trial, and the state has not proved its case, my client walks. *EVERY* ACCUSED DEFENDANT *IS* INNOCENT UNTIL PROVED OTHERWISE.

Ever since I set a goal of 3×10 squatting my own body weight, I've been using past-me of differing ages as a benchmark. Today I did one set of 12 reps of 19-year-old-me's weight. So I'm halfway there, age-wise. (30 pounds shy weight-wise)

A couple times now I've seen people say he needs his own "Praetorean guard," and uh, while I understand what they're trying to say, I would like to remind them of what the Praetorean guard were most famous for doing to the leaders they were supposed to protect.

I feel like this wording could've used a couple more passes.

The thing that pushes me to anarchism no matter what is that I care about my friends. They can have thoughts about the that I disagree with but I want my friends to be safe. And if my friends are made unsafe by the govmnt, fuck the government. That is always the point of truth. People over systems.

I honestly don't understand people who say going vegetarian/vegan is too expensive. Like, I eat meat (partially for health reasons), but I view it as a damn luxury that I can't always afford. Today I looked at the price of beef, was like "nah," and bought portobello caps for half the price instead.

It turns out no matter how much you train in hand to hand combat you still die if they shoot down your helicopter

If you lose to the Vikings in the UK you should be forced to change your team name to The Benedictines

ICIRR, BPNC, and the southwest side rapid response team are out with a joint statement recounting what rapid response team members and neighbors observed at 40th & Kedzie, where federal agents shot somebody earlier today, repudiating DHS claims. Full statement here: www.instagram.com/p/DPaGLCEjW5C

Very funny that in the Suite du Merlin, every time de Boron mentions Northumberland he follows it up with "BUT NOT THE ONE IN BRITAIN! THE ONE THAT'S NEXT TO BRITTANY!"

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! You feel like you’re going crazy because their attempts to bludgeon you into submission with weaponized unreality aren’t working on you. Keep it up. You’re doing great.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

government shut down

this is how it feels to wear high rise pants

Everything I have learned about Ezra Klein I have learned against my will.

Currently struggling to differentiate between self-care and rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

"online enough to understand it, not online enough to like it" is the real opposite of a sweet spot

But the mingled, mingling threads of life are woven by warp and woof: calms crossed by storms, a storm for every calm.

🧊❗ ICE activity in Chicago - alert from the IL Coalition of Immigrant & Refugee Rights (ICIRR) 🧵: ICIRR Eyes on ICE Update: At approximately 1:00 pm today, the Rapid Response Network verified the presence of over 50 federal agents in Downtown Chicago... (1/x)

They're messy bitches who live for drama and I love that for them.

I went to a Godspeed You! Black Emperor show tonight and the audience was full of people with the best tattoos and the worst haircuts I've ever seen.

Microraptor repost time!

Border Patrol is up. Neighbors have sighted them driving around Melrose Park, Stone Park, and Maywood—all near west suburbs surrounding Broadview.

Watching the X-Files episode "Jersey Devil" and I almost fucking choked when Mulder pondered this big tiddy sasquatch drawing.

Me: I'm gonna eat less red meat because it's better for my health and the environment! My doctor: You have a vitamin B12 deficiency. Me: I'm gonna get serious about applying sunscreen every day to prevent skin cancer! My doctor: You have a Vitamin D deficiency. 🤦🤦🤦🤦

Shout out to the MVP of the X-Files, the red-tailed hawk. The Foley guy spams that hawk call every thirty seconds whenever there's a daytime wilderness scene. TSEEEEEEERRRRRR

We made a comic about street smarts (this is one of my favorites we've made).

you’re never more than 10 feet away from someone texting “lol” with a completely expressionless face

Please note that all the outlets now correcting their narrative re: ICE killing Silverio Villegas González since FPPD body cams have been released initially published the DHS statement now proven to be mostly false. There's never any understanding/admission of harm done. They'll just do it again.

My partner introduced me to the TV show "Grimm" and the second episode involved werebears wanting to do a coming-of-age ceremony and the entire time I couldn't help but keep singing "WEREWOLF BAR MITZVAH! SPOOKY SCARY!" My partner was... bemused.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.
