2 big 2 cloud

perfect, no notes

Chicago the biggest small town part 7,227: downtown, my friend from out of town and I stop on the Clark Street bridge to admire Marina City and the river. a friend from my neighborhood I haven't seen in a few months happens to walk up right next to us. incredible timing.

oh no, my hold on Ogawa's The Memory Police came through, but I still have Link's The Book of Love to finish and I wanted to read Betasamosake Simpson's Theory of Water before the Haymarket Books event

the cat gets up to leave the room. "can you get me some ice cream?" I ask. she turns back to look at me. "please," I add. she makes no acknowledgement.

if you'd potentially be interested in a book club for Category Theory for Programmers, reply below! potentially starting in the new year.

someone wishes they were in the fluffy cat bed

what if I had a little Italian Greyhound or a whippet? like a cute lil skinny trembly stick guy to walk around with me? wouldn't that be kinda neat?

If we lose trans people, we lose everything. We lose the bravest, most honest and sincere people in our communities. We lose it all, we lose the root of all beauty.

I can’t help it. The grackles are still here, and need to be photographed 🤣 The male Common Grackles usually take every opportunity to display, especially in the spring! But it’s Fall, and this male was displaying a lot! Apparently, he knows what he looks like🤣 #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶

Chicago lifted head and shoulders above the prairie, just like Sandburg said

The Feds were extremely violent towards protestors today, including public officials and the media. thetriibe.com/2025/09/and-...

all I can say is that my life is pretty plain

hope folks will join me in supporting local OTG journalists. I also became a recurring member of @thetriibe.com, I appreciate their partnership with some of these folks.

what a week

bouzouki music

ugh but I already logged in once this year

This should be on the eBird frontpage! 🪶 macaulaylibrary.org/asset/641825...

knowing there's a 50% chance of rain, where should I take a out of town friend for lunch downtown this weekend?

double vaxxed 💉💉

I swear this operator slowed the train so I could get a good shot

mood

Chicago is so aquatic and beautiful

so glad this live posting thread is happening, ty @chicagotransplant.bsky.social

Don't Mess With Eizouken! is so good, I love those girls sm

wrapped up a grueling period of crunch at work today. looking forward to having time and space for my own life again.

Anyone need some glassware? Hopleaf is unloading some on Saturday.

Chicagoland is Chicagoland, and the feds shouldn't be snatching neighbors anywhere in or around our city.

that was a lot of fireworks in two minutes

you know what, I never want to hear about this dork ass loser ever again

reports already coming in this morning of at least eight ice agents staging in elgin. these were posted shortly after 6 a.m.

Current* conditions near Isle Royale NP, MI:

every Dan Da Dan opening is like “oh yeah all this was going on”

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social: ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday. Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events. Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

we really did need this rain

run, egret, run. 🪶

what, and I must again emphasize, a week

something I keep reminding myself is that whatever happens these days, it can and will get stupider

Dropout's new show Crowd Control is fun. Jacquis Neal is perfect as the host, glad he finally got his own show.

tree trimmers outside my window doing physical labor while I sit inside doing tippy-tappies on my little compy

This weekend I checked out the new Winnemac Avenue Neighborhood Greenway from Glenwood to Broadway in Uptown. (It’s great 👍) BlockClub writes about it here blockclubchicago.org/2025/08/26/n...

Chicago is someone getting PFT's burrito or

how about a lovely scintillating scotoma and migraine for dinner? delicious

there is truly a comical amount of construction noise happening outside, it's like the sound effects out of a movie. I feel like the French knight from Monty Python looking around while they construct the Trojan Rabbit
