The first time I saw Godspeed You Black Emperor it was at Abbey Pub as the Iraq war was ramping up in 2003.

I was the very first person to use this porta potty at my concert. Winning

Happy Godspeed You! Black Emperor day in Chicago for all who celebrate, see you there in the cemetery soon

ICE showing up at my local Home Depot

So if an ICE agent is choking me or slamming my head to the ground, I am technical touching that ICE agent, so I go to prison, right?

Got my performance review.

Is he going to threaten to invade an American city approximately once a month? Is that his thing now?

I'd lose so much respect for my boss if they made me travel halfway around the globe under cryptic reasoning, alarming the world, only for it to be leaked by the press it was just so they could give me a speech about their new vision on how I could do my job better and wanted to see my expression.

When you RSVP to an invite via Evite and they immediately start texting you nonsense

So my car is making a weird almost whistling sounding noise when I accelerate or break, any car people know what that might be?

my heart is with everyone getting tear gassed outside that stupid fucking fence in Broadview today

Lopez having a real normal day here.

What do these goons hope to accomplish with their little river tour?

These freaks are snatching up tamale vendors

LOL

Good evening from the pee monster

I freaked out a college student today in the cafeteria by recognizing his t-shirt for a local goth pop band (Club Drugs) and told him I saw them play at Schubas within the past year or so and I can tell his reaction was "wait, what? This old lady knows who they are?" Winning.

Give these guys a bit of money if you can, they're good people. I volunteer with them.

My flurry of financial activities trying to keep my cat alive and pay for it cause my credit score to drop 23 points, thanks a lot, you fuzzy money pit.

We had a discussion about the poor quality of pigeon nests in our staff meeting today.

Just made a couple brisket tacos from the brisket my friend gave me a few weeks back (don't worry, it was frozen this whole time).

C'mon now.

Good lord, this cat. I had to take him to MedVet today because he was screaming when he took a piss, now he's on Gabapentin and antibiotics that they wanted me to give him every 8 hours, but I have to go to work in an office downtown to pay for this shit (1/2)

I like dogs and this is a terrible idea.

I suppose I should get around to watching Andor one of these times.

Ok who summoned the djinn on the northwest side of Chicago yesterday?

OMG, there is a cricket in the ceiling of my office, and I'm going to lose my mind.

All jabbed up, didn't get the shot I wanted, but I got one, so I'll take it.

I hate this mural so much too, and I'm glad to see it getting the hate it deserves. Looking forward to the replacement.

Policy process: 1) Issue legal pronouncement without adequate legal or policy review. 2) Read legal pronouncement for the first time. 3) Consider policy implications for the first time. 4) Begin issuing clarifications. 5) Begin (maybe) an interagency legal and policy review of underlying issues.

All this rapture talk takes me back to a book that made the rounds among wackos in 1988: 88 reasons Why The Rapture Will Be in 1988. If you want a copy, you can buy it for 169.99 on Amazon www.amazon.com/reasons-Why-...

Bearing your cross is a lot easier with wheels.

Gwar hasn’t understood the meaning of crossing a line or good taste since they formed in 1984, but go on and clutch those pearls

I’m happy to see all these people attending the northwest side progressive emergency response town hall here in Albany Park

the @nlgchicago.bsky.social condemns the “violent actions” of ice/border patrol on friday outside the broadview detention center. in a statement, nlg says feds targeted protesters w/o provocation & sent 2 people to the hospital. 10 people arrested. some were let go miles away behind a gas station.

What caused the war between Cambodia and Armenia? Wrong answers only.

Coming soon to other Chicago parks and Movement on Montrose.

Went to the Macbeth production in River Park today at noon and had some fun watching a play about a crazed, maniacal, and murderous king while sitting in the drizzle.

My cat likes to lay next to me and put his paw on my leg, but only his paw

God this week at work was utter dogshit

I wish people would stop using Starbucks employees to attempt to enact whatever asinine political thing they are trying start.

I would like to eat these noodles chicagoreader.com/food/food-dr...

I am invited to a Halloween party this year with the theme of "nerds" and I don't know how clever I am feeling this year, I'm tempted to just buy some bulk packages of Nerds candy and just make a Nerds suit and call it a day.

Why is it I can only get decent peaches at the farmers market? Whenever I try and buy them at the grocery store, even a bougie one like Whole Foods, they are always mealy and disappointing.

Cat update, things are going in the right direction, still need to figure out the food situation though since he hates his new prescription food and refuses to eat it.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Green Post is closing at the end of the month, this is a neighborhood tragedy.
