i’m not exaggerating btw the last couple days have been so beautiful i really did write a poem about it

i am at most only one beautiful summer afternoon away from starting to compose poetry in my head about how chicago is one of the greatest cities on the planet

every time i’m in this area i gotta stop by one of my favorite views of the city from the north side

wanted to make a highlight reel of all the stuff i did in college but presented in a novel way so i spent a couple days making it look like you’re browsing cable tv in the year 2006

after 7 years, transitioning, beating cancer, and much more, i FINALLY GRADUATED COLLEGE!! you can do anything!!!!

just emailed my landlord to say i’ll be declining my renewal offer bc i’m moving to nyc permanently soon… end of an era

happy international workers day from chicago! today commemorates the 115 workers injured and eight who lost their lives fighting for the eight-hour work day after someone threw a bomb and the police open fired on civilians during a peaceful protest in west loop’s haymarket square

woke up this morning to find a model of the original world trade center in the trash. what does this mean

one of those days that makes you endlessly grateful you live in one of the most beautiful cities on earth

my roommate recently bought a 3d printer and has been using it to colonize my table with a rapidly expanding scale model of downtown chicago. they say they want it to eventually be 4x this size and i fear for what will happen when it inevitably outgrows this small platform

i love how the chicago river will just naturally turn colors that look fake

what the hell is hatsune miku doing at belmont

the 3600sq ft single-family home in ravenswood that used to be a fire station is for sale now, in case any of you chicagoans out there want to live out your childhood dreams for a cool $1.9 million

been getting real into this thing i call Shitty Highballs recently where i go to my local 7/eleven & liquor store and get random combinations of liquor and pop to mix together and in this process i’ve ended up learning mountain dew was actually invented to be a mixer for bourbon

if this country’s government isn’t gonna invoke the 25th amendment when the president threatens to commit genocide on social media what the fuck are our politicians even any good for. REMOVE HIM NOW

happy april everyone!!!

some of the most unbelievable live images i’ve ever seen and they haven’t even left low earth orbit yet

LOOK AT THIS

legitimately the single most mind-blowing thing i’ve ever watched live

pleased to announce i won’t be leaving the midwest after all—just got a really great local job offer up in milwaukee. now i’ll only be 90 miles away from chicago instead of 720!

happy trans day of visibility… do you all fw trans women who are also a little bit masc

davis theater lineup is so good right now i’m tempted to take a whole day off to go over there and see everything back-to-back

74 degrees and sunny… trees are budding and water taxis are back in the river… we are so fucking back

i totally get why this would not be scalable whatsoever and take up too much time to be feasible but man it would be so cool if there was a service where you could pay a local fursuit maker to rent some of their equipment/space & basically be a tutor while you made your own suit

fursuit makers are some of the coolest people ever. like i posted a while back about wanting to make one someday despite having 0 idea what i’m doing, ended up getting an invitation to visit the studio of a professional maker, and learned so much there. what a great community

this is so fucking vile. imagine living for over 70 fucking years on this rock and letting this much hate fill your heart. choke and perish, Nazi scum

just when you thought flying out of laguardia today was bad enough!

second psa: apparently planes at laguardia are really backing up now, meaning that once you get past the 3+ hour long tsa line you’re treated to a 22-plane/30-minute long line to take off. what fun!

psa if you’re flying out of laguardia today: the tsa line is now so long it has spilled outside the airport. they are now having passengers queue out on the sidewalk

daily affirmations

times square is such a perfect accidental parody of u.s. culture if it was a fictional location in a movie people would call it too on-the-nose

!!!ALERT: THE CHONKY CENTRAL PARK RACCOONS ARE BACK!!!

finished my glass and was like “my lips smell like whiskey now… wanna have a taste?” and leaned across the table and kissed my friend and that’s probably the most rizz i’ve ever had in my life

need to make myself a fursona so i can get art of me leaning against a 7 train the same way furries commission art of themselves next to their cars

they’re calling me the most aura-filled trans woman in long island city

it’s the kind of day in nyc that restores your soul and fills your heart with whimsy

funniest place i’ve ever seen someone lose a balloon

the light of new york has once again entered my soul as i return to the magnificent borough of queens

good morning from queens

girl who is trying not to regret showing up at the airport at 4:45am

chicago, there’s still time to get out there and vote! make your voice heard!

the mid-afternoon commute

straight up saggin it. and by it, well, lets justr say. my aftra

SO I SAY WATCH OUT LONG ISLAND CITY HERE I COME

seasonal depression instantly cured

it’s a beautiful day out there, chicago

just watched lake michigan disappear before my very eyes in the span of about fifteen minutes

unironically one of my favorite kinds of chicago weather

this isn’t just like a youtube video thing btw. this is my undergrad thesis film and is gonna be screened at the gene siskel film center in downtown chicago. extremely excited (and a bit nervous!) to get something i made projected on the big screen
