Bring your curiosity (and maybe your favourite cheese…) Join me for a delightfully strange and seasonal deep dive into cheese divination…yes, tyromancy! I’ll be joined by @jenniferbillock.bsky.social bona fide cheese divination expert, for a festive reading. 🧀🔮

I had a dream last night that 47 died and I got banned from the White House for reporting it before they wanted the news out. So… we’ll see. 😂

Happening now in Broadview—outside Chicago: A procession of Illinois Handmaid’s, with the Illinois Democratic Women of Cook County, walks in procession to the ICE detention facility. “Even though we are silent, we are powerful,” an organizer told the group before starting.

Federal immigration agents have deployed gas in Little Village, on 26th between Komensky and Pulaski, per videos shared online after 11 am this morning.

ICE is out in full force today, large caravans including Bovino. Teargas and pepper balls already deployed. Windows of protestor cars smashed and protestors taken. Mostly in Little Village, Pilsen, and Oak Park at the moment but they are dispersing further into the neighborhoods. Be aware, be safe.

I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT!! Tyromancy the book is coming your way in 2027, written by me and published by Ten Speed Press! I cannot wait!! #cheese

Hey ⚾️ fans, If you’re at the game tonight, walk each other to your cars because ICE is in the parking lot. #WorldSeries

ICE in Old Irving this morning; they’ve already gassed a residential block twice. Be alert. #chicago

The Texas national guard arrived in #Chicago today, against both the Illinois government’s wishes and the request of a judge. There’s an emergency protest at 5:30 tomorrow night at Ida B Wells and Michigan. Tell your networks. See you there. (Wear a mask and eye protection.)

ICE just drove by Patterson and Long heading into Belmont Cragin, be alert #chicago

NO TROOPS IN CHICAGO. I have no qualms about buying a dozen dipped spicy Italian beefs to throw at people who DO NOT BELONG in my city.

Atomic Cake Still Makes A Splash, 70 Years After Its Debut The towering medley of chocolate, banana and vanilla cakes and fruit fillings has been reimagined by a Chicago pastry chef as a 13-layer sundae eaten with a spoon. by @jenniferbillock.bsky.social blockclubchicago.org/2025/08/18/a...

My entire world is a constant reminder that I can’t have kids.

I think my dog would describe me as a Velcro human.

anyone fly domestically in the US either yesterday or today who can speak with me about the Real ID for an Afar story? #travel

I tried to make a spinning video with the dog and got so nauseous I had to sit on the floor for ten minutes. #middleage

Took the pup to an Easter egg hunt today and she was the belle of the ball 😍

My favorite airport activity is going into the dog relief areas to see if there are any dogs I can play with. #travel

Well, this is a sure-fire way to push away new employees. Get over yourselves, ULINE. I applied there when I was just out of college. Do you know their reason for why I wasn’t hired? I wore OPEN-TOED SHOES and NO NYLONS to the interview. (Yes, they told me.) What absolute dumpsters.

Four cycles of fertility treatments this year, and four failures. 13 eggs, 3 embryos, no transfers. Starting again in January (thanks insurance) but this is HARD. Especially when my friend who started IVF at the same time is pregnant. How do I stay positive through all this? #infertility

It has been a DAY. Woke up to no water in the house. Then had a painful test at the doc. Then immediately to the vet because THE DOG ATE GLASS. Then had to cancel a trip for a conference I’ve been excited about. Just one thing after another today. Sheesh.

Creeping around in your TVs today
