Am looking up WPA era schools and found this near-cousin to Chicago Vocational: Weequhic High School in Newark. Built in 1933 and designed by architects Guilbert & Betelle.

It's a beautiful autumn day in Chicago.

My crow friends in the Swoops clan are in winter hunger mode now. Swooping down for treats multiple times when I walk along Belmont Harbor on the LFT in Chicago to get their walnuts, peanuts in the shell, and cat kibble.

Still there…for good

THIS BIRD. I cannot *believe* I can see something this magnificent in walking distance from my home. I fucking love Chicago. #birds

With ICE and border patrol goons spreading out across the country, I put together a resource guide for buying, printing, and distributing whistles, based on my own experience. Now is the time to whistle up, hope this helps. dansinker.com/posts/202…

NEW: Evanston has released video + reports surrounding a 10/31 incident where a CBP agent threatened to shoot people + another beat a handcuffed man. We found some disturbing X posts from one of the feds, also seen in other viral videos. His name is Timothy Donahue, and it's now public record:

Tonight! Come listen to good music, drink beer, and eat bar food in Forest Park with me!

Yesterday I saw this Red-tailed Hawk fly in & perch behind my house. I went out & was amazed by the racket of alarm calls. The loudest were squirrels and nuthatches, joined by house finch, chickadees and blue jays. Soon crows came and chased it away. #Bobsbackyard #Ancaster #HamOnt #birds #birding

Everyone's a critic.

It's so good to be near open water, again. It was kind of hard to resist jumping in and swimming away... #Scape #Chicago #LakeMichigan #EastCoastKin #MightBeASelkie

Outside of Chicago, on the grounds of a former armory, decades ago an alliance of various orgs began restoring the prairie, and at Midewin Tallgrass Prairie they imported bison to roam the prairie once more. I love to visit my very large bi sons 💚🦬

I am starting to see so many small instances of AI degradation that it is getting very disheartening. It's worse then I expected. From major companies neglecting core products to chase the AI bucks to naive users letting AI create false images on their phones and posting them to bird ID groups.
