In honor of the opening of the Obama Presidential Center, here are other sites you can visit in Jackson Park that tell the history of the area’s devotion to Civil Rights, Women’s Rights, Community Service, Art as a movement. open.substack.com/pub/patricia...

You ever just have someone walk back into your life after 6 years after completely changing your life over the last 10. There now.

What in the fuck is tonights energy? It's been an absolutely insane night(positively)

Riding in the Red line. Posting the vibe. music.youtube.com/watch?v=0WL3...

If a man like Byrne, who said absolutely jaw-droppingly transphobic things that I've attached here, can still be regarded as an elder statesman of comics and get high profile deals like this published, then we have a long way to come as an industry and I would be a coward not to say that.

We've sold a LOT of rainbow InfoWars merch (with more to come!) over the last month, since we reached a deal to take over InfoWars with the estate's court appointed receiver. We're giving 100% of proceeds so far to the families via whatever mechanism the court allows.

Only the whitest of overconfident white men for our girls!

A trans girl in Rogers Park deleted her bsky, I hope she's alright. She had been talking about a new start lately, so I hope one of those things was just getting off socials.

Really need people to stop saying that the Minnesota 15 are going to be fine, that their charges will be dropped like ours. That was four days before trial, was NOT supposed to happen, and only did because of persistent, diligent, and incredible work by our lawyers.

I just learned that Daveigh Chase passed - and if you're a millennial, I guarantee you that at least *one* of her roles had a huge impact on you. 35 is so unbelievably young.

Remember all the times we saw Sammy Sosa hit home runs into the lake. 100s of em right into the water and swimmers in boats diving for the ball.

10/10 map of Chicago, no notes. AI works great. Found on Facebook.

Lucy last night

Kate Kate Kate kate Kate Kate! @docmidnight.bsky.social I gotta pick up 2 and 3 this weekend.

There was a lot of talk about how big the pool is and how much evaporation happens, but I doubt you could pour enough hydrogen peroxide to kill the algae from one gallon jugs.

This thing is so cursed. @bignicejohn.bsky.social OMG have you seen?

Okay, it's official news from DC. I'm lettering PRINCESSES OF THE DC UNIVERSE. Have been for a while now, actually! @tillybridges.bsky.social and @susanlbridges.bsky.social have written a wild and heartfelt script, and Alba Glez's art is gorgeous and frequently hilarious.

The hysteria targeting LGBTQ+ and racialized people were capitalized on by powerful people looking to push a moral agenda. We’re seeing that same kind of push now, as trans people face rapid attacks on their freedom. Our collective sexual and civil liberation is all tied together.

This is such a good story. You don’t have to be born in Chicago to be a Chicagoan.

The UK Government has moved faster to destroy the online communities of teenagers than it has to limit the power of a foreign white supremacist to launch race riots in the UK's cities and spread child pornography online

Took Lucy out before the storms to see yesterday's fallen branches.

Heads up, Chicago, let's flush out this coward.

SPACE JAM IS REAL. JALEN BRUNSON IS BUGS BUNNY.

OG ANUNOBY PUTBACK FOR THE LEAD

I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.

I'm tabling for group at this trans event. This bit of art I'm in front of is neat. I love the curves that flow into different mediums across the canvas.

it's her month

Still a banger of a song to listen to on a train. music.youtube.com/watch?v=QGCs...

the purple parts are good! the red parts, less so. there’s never been enough access to trans healthcare, but not providing for trans kids—who’ve been out of luck for 4 months now, which is significant when pausing puberty—is fucked up, especially considering the NY constitution protects this care.

CW: suicide and i give a really big fuck about securing care for those kids in a big hurry because puberty has a clock; surviving it sucks even when it doesn’t get this dire ⬇️; undoing it hurts a fucking lot & costs a ton; & trans kids quality of life matters because they’re people like you!

I remember last week Chicagoans telling me that moderate Dems wouldn't backtrack on trans rights, and yet we see them laying these seats every time and they want me to be the one surprised when they sprout.

This weekend was so much. So so much.

Today is the 134th anniversary of the beginning of the CTA Elevated Trains. On this day in 1892, the first "L" train ran from Pershing & State to Congress & Wabash. Chicago is the only city with elevated trains in its downtown area.

The moment a female swan reunited with her partner after being away for treatment Original post

remember the posts survivability onion.

He is misrepresenting the height of the Sears. The antenna on top of the Sears is not accounted for in its height, while spires on Empire state and One world trade are measured in their heights. The last floor of the Sears is in the spire height of World trade, and is insane to have empire as taller

OH THEY ALSO DREW SULETTA IN THE SAME FIT, LETS GOOO

I think of what happened to C. Martin Croker and I’m aghast. If you’ve ever watched and loved Aqua Teen Hunger Force or even just wanna support black voice actors, please help him out ❤️‍🔥👍🏾

Really great essay video on Gundam, Gundam Wing, war and AI. Wing is aging so well into the modern era, and I can't wait for the new sequel they are making. This AC universe is so ripe for our modern dystopia. youtu.be/l6y4Q4oLVnM?...

I can't get over how much of Sheep in the Big City 1-to-1's a lot of queer/trans life experiences A sheep that doesn't fit in with his farm leaves to survive in the big city where his old owner Farmer John chases him down, gaslights him and ruins his life Everytime he instead himself into his life

In 2019, Geena Rocero became Playboy’s first trans AAPI woman to be named Playmate of the Month in August. "I was tired of living with shame and internalized transphobia. I wanted to find the biggest platform I could and tell the whole world my story."

You've heard lots about the end of Illinois' spring legislative session — so what protections for queer/trans people came out of it? All of the below legislation passed through both the Illinois House and Senate, and are awaiting Gov. JB Pritzker's desk. 🧵/5

Full moon over Chicago tonight.

Full moon over Chicago tonight.

Fuck yeah, go off Ossoff.

Lucy!

Sometimes, when life is currently taking from you, you just spend 3 hours walking in the park in Chicago, and this city will give back. Really felt love today Chicago, thank you.
