What the actual fuck?!

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

The way I am spending many, many hours scrolling through the tabelog app

Mayor Mamdani has nullified every executive order issued by Eric Adams after he struck his corrupt bargain with Trump to secure dismissal of the indictment against him.

May we all move with fierce love and solidarity in 2026. It's been a brutal year, but I am entering 2026 with more hope than I had at the end of 2024, because the people of my city gave me that hope. I love you, Chicago.

One of the most important pieces I've read this year. A lot of journalists tried to capture what it was like on the ground, as Chicagoans resisted an onslaught of federal agents attacking our neighbors, and @melissagiragrant.com pulled it off.

Watched a biker group flip off a c*p car last night on my way to where I'm staying in Tokyo, and I had to stifle my laughter when they drove off.

Oh, you thought going to the grocery store right before a major holiday in America was bad? Try going to the supermarket on NYE in Tokyo without experiencing a panic attack! It is an impossible task!

It's very strange to have basically not experienced Tuesday

My flight took out all the horny parts and swearing in Challengers?!?!

Off to Japan until February 🤙🏽

My sister and I experienced a new level of bonding today: She trimmed my hair 💇🏽

whatever 2026 holds i don't think anything next year will be funnier than Chicago Pope. 2025 was overall a huge stinker but Chicago Pope was an all time great B-plot

I am—and I can't emphasize this enough—so tired.

The "nobodies" doing "nothing" are the ELITES and most of the politicians representing you. PEOPLE in their communities are in motion, everywhere. You just have to pay attention and importantly you have to JOIN THEM.

2026 the word “bladder” is out in: piss sphere

I wish I had one extra week before flying out to Japan but alas, this is the bed I've made for myself given that I'm going to concerts I can't be mega jet lagged for 🥲

That first Nazgûl who lost Frodo right outside the Shire fucking choked

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Tiny Tim never died. He outlived empires that swore they were forever, oceans of stars that burned to dust and gods who begged to be remembered. Time unraveled, reason dimmed, even the Great Old Ones fell quiet. Still he wanders. Immortal, caroling to the void, last witness to eternity’s lies.

I can't tell if I accidentally broke my pinky toe last night or if I just bashed it too hard

Many get sick while traveling. One major reason is they don’t realize mass transit is high risk because airline CEOs lied about viral spread early in the pandemic and lobbied the CDC to lower precautions. To make the most of your holiday, take precautions like wearing a mask when you travel!

please for the love of god stop writing on substack!!!!!!!

I received a thank you from some library workers for this piece after a Chicago city budget was passed this week without the previously proposed library cuts I described here. Many thanks to everyone who made noise about this issue. There were wins and losses in this budget, but this win matters.

The Knife genuinely had no reason to go as hard as they did on "We Share Our Mother's Health." It's such a singular song, one that says, "there is no such thing as limitations on where your creativity can go."

Had a dream last night where I yelled at everyone to look outside the window because we could see the Milky Way and one person was like, "um, how do we know that's the Mily Way?" And I ripped them a new asshole (metaphorically, unfortunately).

My dad demanded I get a cheesecake for Christmas because my sister likes them (who knew!), but I can't find any good place to order one from so I'm gonna do the Rupa thing and just make one from scratch.

As someone who began sounding the alarm the moment Trump announced his running for president back in 2015, I loved reading this piece.

i never did remember why i went into my living room that one time

Emailed my alderman about the corporate head tax and fully funding the Chicago public library!

As of this morning 4,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. Don’t cross their picket line. No Starbucks. NO Starbucks gift cards!

"And so, having long debated what to do about this situation, I dug a fire pit in my backyard and burned my complete set of hardcover Harry Potters." I have a lengthy and long in the works piece live this morning, from @literaryhub.bsky.social Hope you all enjoy ... lithub.com/burn-harry-b...

Evil shit.

ever look at an old piece of yours and think "honestly? i ate" There will be blood alt poster - 2016

*pointing stud finder at my chest* Please…I need this

*looks at the ingredients in their kitchen to make a soup off the cuff* Let's put them all in

Just finished serving as a juror for the first time and kept having one intrusive thought the whole time:

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

Garage remote stopped working and replacement batteries don't do anything so I need to pay for street parking until my building manager gets back to me 🙃

Trying to convince myself I don't *always* need bread with soup.

If I didn't have to go to the grocery store and run other errands, I would continue my day of sitting very still on the couch.

Learning to Live With Yourself #art #illustration

I would say that you have to train yourself to focus on the actual people who care about you & who you care about/respect. Also you have to really live into your values. Both of those things will help you weather the opinions of strangers. I think that's different than not giving a fuck.
