trans women are so Important

few things better than chicago in september

quite proud of the skyscraper hub i’m building around spawn for this server

hmmmm considering opening up my minecraft server to more people so i can get it more active…would anyone be interested in this

just learned québec and newfoundland & labrador have a border dispute and i think that’s very funny

my friend’s friends’ parents were kidnapped by ice agents the other day at cicero and pershing, please sign this petition to help get them released!! actionnetwork.org/petitions/re...

At the Broadview ICE "processing facility" outside Chicago. Earlier today, federal agents unleashed chemical weapons on protesters, elected officials, a local congressional candidate, and a local mayor. Defiant anti deportation activists remain. Another protest is planned for 7pm.

Protesters were tear gassed, shot with pepper spray bullets and some detained by ICE officers outside of a facility in suburban Broadview Friday morning. blockclubchi.co/3VslkAr

i would point out the obvious hypocrisy of the “party of free speech” making lists of people whose speech they don’t like in order to destroy their lives but let’s be honest: they don’t give a shit. they just want to install fascism.

there’s currently only a single outbound brown line train between merchandise mart and kimball even though there’s 11 trains on the line right now. how does this even happen

signed up for an introductory game development course and just made my first world in unity and it turned out shockingly well

did not get a picture because i only got a quick glimpse but there was a police helicopter maybe only three stories above the ground in front of the bean at michigan/madison just now. never seen anything like it before

chicago, irving park: ice spotted at home depot at addison/kimball

Just 4 weeks until the October veto session! This Saturday, September 20th there are TWO transit town halls to learn about how transit is essential to all Chicagoans, learn how to get involved, and ask any questions. Join us at the Den Theatre or attend at Truman College on the North Side at noon!

Another witness sighting, this time of at least two federal agents - agency unclear - and two unmarked vehicles in Addison, IL, a Chicago suburb several miles southwest of O'Hare Airport. Video shared shortly after 9:45 a.m.

Northwest Side rapid response confirms federal agents present this morning in the Belmont Cragin and Logan Square neighborhoods of Chicago.

oh no i’m having The Itch again this morning

it’s so cool what having some lights and a nice camera can do

cursed chicago fact: because of the north shore and cal-sag channels, most of the city is technically on two islands that meet at the main branch of the river in downtown

i really didn’t need to

As expected, they aren't going deep into the city proper at the moment and are crawling through the suburbs, including Elmhurst, potentially Evanston, Des Plaines. Seeing an arrest video now out of Elgin again yesterday as well.

tried an experiment today where i responded “thank you for your honesty!” and other polite things to my irrational hate comments and it turns out a lot of conservatives will just think you’re an ai bot if you act nice to them lol

after a week off for labor day we are BACK with a brand-new episode on pollution and greenwashing! watch the full thing on our youtube channel!! youtu.be/ZRhb0DQfhKs?... here’s a clip!

basically trump’s “If I Did It”

🚨 Trump’s threats of “war” on Chicago endanger all families—especially immigrants, refugees, and TGNC youth. Trans Up Front stands united: every child and every family deserves safety and dignity. Protecting the most vulnerable is powerful resistance.

tagging @north0fnorth.tgirl.gay for this because it truly is the greatest view of the greatest city in the world.

it’s the year of quirky protest signs i guess

Chicago forever

Happening now: a large protest is coalescing in Chicago's Congress Plaza against the Trump admin's plans to conduct a month+ long immigration blitz in (and, per Trump's Truth Social post earlier today, implicitly threaten to sic the Department of War on) the Chicagoland area.

STAND UP FIGHT BACK

If you're protesting ICE in Chicago, let me know at [email protected] if you need free legal training or legal support. If you're arrested protesting ICE, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

If we cannot all be on the same page that the sitting president threatening to invade a US city is fascist dictator shit then truly I do not know what to do.

this is perhaps one of the most blatantly authoritarian, fascistic actions the trump administration has ever taken and a huge portion of the country is willing to go along with it. absolutely ridiculous

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

if you wanna know how strong the city/suburbs divide is in chicagoland, i’ve here lived almost my entire life and still have pretty much no idea what happens in the red area

amazing things are happening

MAKING MY FIRST STUDENT FILM LFG

trying to find new ways to film the chicago L that people haven’t done a million times before

the political compass is kinda unserious but i’m trying to think of a game idea with it where you fill out a guess for what your friend’s responses would be and they do the same for you and you swap the results back and see how accurate their guesses were

every day there is some of the worst news imaginable and then we all have to keep sending emails and filing reports like there hasn't been another mass shooting or another deeply reported feature about the horrors of war, technology, and new policies designed to hurt vulnerable people even more

she ashland on my avenue til i become a play

new york friends and followers! i’m gonna be back in town from roughly new year’s to mlk day. let me know if you want to make plans or if you have recommendations for things to check out during that time!

i’m really excited to share all of the exciting video stuff i’ve been working on in the background for the last while! don’t worry, production quality will go up considerably in the next week or two there will be at least 1 release per week for the next few months, so stay tuned!

hey internet!! my roommate and i are starting a collaborative youtube channel including a WEEKLY WEB SHOW documenting the world falling apart called “WE’RE TOTALLY F’D”! you can check out our first episode on the dangers of generative ai here! youtu.be/LTaoGBKwYF8?... here’s a clip!

big things are coming

lmao the brown line is shut down from kimball to belmont because a train derailed this morning and the bus driver for the replacement shuttle bus just tried dropping us off here and calling it a connection to belmont

hi there! for the last couple weeks i’ve been working behind the scenes on some cool new stuff, and i’m almost ready to share it will everyone. there will be an announcement tomorrow regarding where you’ll find more regular updates and new projects from me from now on!!

getting dragged back into furry stuff very quickly this past week. either fortunately or unfortunately depending on your perspective

today is my fifth anniversary of starting hrt. it’s been a long and difficult journey, but it’s also brought me more happiness and fulfillment than i could ever previously imagine. thanks to the wonderful community i’ve found along the way, and here’s to the next five years :)
