Congratulations @depauwuniversity.bsky.social on keeping the Monon Bell another year! #gotigers #depauwneverquits

Decided to make apple butter with the two sad apples I had hanging around and it smells so good already

I'm not a fan of the fact that some channels are already showing Christmas movies. It is November 15!

Look if you're trans, you have to live. Do whatever you need to do to make it.

Timeline cleanse, Yoshi style

My mug :(

It's a bad day to have eyes on the internet, to be honest.

A really fun time: I talked to Alex Horne and Greg Davies about 20! seasons! of Taskmaster, their thoughts on cast chemistry, designing tasks, their own bond, and what comes next. @vulture.com: www.vulture.com/article/task...

Silly

Drove past again. It says Probably proudly eaten by The Pope

Here's my Old Person peeve of the day: Tiktok/Instagram recipes where they dump everything into a shallow baking dish and mix it there awkwardly and not well. Use a bowl!! This is why they invented mixing bowls!!

As with most history, the story is not that simple and doesn’t end there. Read the full article here: chicagoreader.com/city-life/ch...

Random re: Pope Leo but I saw a Mr Submarine billboard the other day that said something like "the pope probably ate our sandwiches"

He's on a mission from God alright

I've been job searching so long I'm not sure I trust my instincts anymore. I am a great candidate, but I everything is nuts and I'm not perfect. Today the lady was impressed with my work and writing but also I was 6 minutes late because my brain is a little broken so I can't stop thinking about it.

📣 OK, as promised, here's my *deeper* dive into how 14 states have instituted #ACA pricing policy which will *dramatically* mitigate the expiring tax credits for a significant portion of enrollees...IF enrollees take advantage of it: acasignups.net/25/11/11/the...

obsessed with this photo of cows watching the northern lights. it's the scene in a muppet movie that's so surprisingly touching you start to cry (photographer: @ChrisReichert3 on twitter)

Nights like this are the best. All the trouble of the world is momentarily set aside while we're collectively marveling at the pretty lights and nature together. This is how it's supposed to be. Life, I mean. Shared joy and all. 🙂

This morning I was cranky about Life and mercury retrograde and it all felt Bad But tonight I have an interview tomorrow and I'm seeing gorgeous aurora pictures do it feels just a little better

Chicago has everything. Chicago over everything.

Quick dinner for one: Annie's shells and cheese, lightly doctored, plus an apple bourbon chicken sausage and a little barbecue sauce

I come from a long line of pacifists and conscientious objectors, and to my knowledge only have one singular veteran in my family, a cousin who joined the Army in the 90s for the explicit purpose of moving to Germany permanently. He did so and never saw combat.

Yoshi got a haircut 🥰 still got that schnauzer stache though

This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

TONS of gorgeous work, a lot of it new, on the site. Every piece unique, all by a master silversmith. Holidays are literally upon us. Order here: wingssilverwork.com/contact/. Or just e-mail me directly at NDNSilverByWings [at] gmail [dot] com. Thanks.

_____ has died. He leaves behind a wife of 60 years, three children, 10 grandchildren and a legacy of abuse, sexism, bigotry and general hatefulness. He will not be missed and we only wish he had died sooner.

Also in case its not being mentioned in your feed, there is still a remaining vote for this and Somehow they didn't anticipate the outrage, so there's apparently some hesitation now. If those were your senators, call them and don't stop. I will also be calling even though they arent mine

These are the kinds of things I like to read and this is why I want more organizers to write. open.substack.com/pub/georgego... [I know that people are busy so understand that adding writing to do lists is often an imposition]

Ahem.

I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy. "I would rather be an actual pawn. At least pawn sacrifices are calculated and achieve something. All this for a fucking meaningless vote."

The GOP have used the Shutdown (or a threat of one) for decades to extract concessions from the Dems. This is the FIRST time that the Dems have shown enough spine to make the GOP worried about this tactic. And then the Dems gave concessions instead of REMOVING THE THREAT

Most of my timeline is so frustrated and angry and then I've got one random white guy who's calmly saying it's fine because workers will get paid again

The least most politically engaged people I know are texting me before 8am to say, “we won’t forget.” So I don’t know man.

Someone want to buy these for me? ::bats eyes::

Matthew's been playing Death Stranding 2 and I gotta say. Hideo Kojima is so weird.

Snapshot of the suburbs: I've been going to my stylist for a decade or so. She's a married mom of 2 in her late 40s and she is pissed. She has gone from centrist wine mom to someone wants nothing more than to see the current occupant of the white house [redacted].

Dropped Yoshi off at the groomer and he did not want to go back with the guy 😭 but they love him there so I don't think it's a bad sign??

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

Hey! Calling all Wonder Women! We all are sisters…pulling together with one spirit. 50 years ago today the first episode of the series Wonder Woman aired.

Well. I didn't get the job. I have another iron in the fire but it's still a huge bummer.

A WBEZ and Sun-Times analysis found Democrat-led states like Illinois have lower murder and violent crime rates than some Republican-led states, along with fewer undocumented immigrants with criminal records.

Today I'm going to run some errands, watch some TV and hope for good job news while trying not to fixate on it.

LRT: I have neighbors whose names I do not know but who recognize me and my dog and we make brief polite conversation and it's good actually! To feel like you live in a community!

I understand being introverted but I can’t explain the sense of real safety that comes from having neighbors whom you are friends with. Bad neighbors are a recipe for disaster; a neighbor community is the best antidote against lots of things. People who have had neighbors call cops on them know

Remember, if you accidentally misgender or deadname someone, it's very easy to just say "Shit, sorry," and then say the correct name or pronoun. The two important follow-ups are to not rend your garments and make it all about you and to then also make sure you work hard on not doing it again.

I get so irritated when I see cleaning videos on Instagram/via TikTok where people just dump out enormous amounts of cleaning product. I get it, it's for the video, but it's a huge waste. You don't need to cover every surface of your bathroom with an inch of cleaner!

If "Work It" doesn't make you wanna dance a little, there might be something wrong with you. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

Anxiously awaiting word on the interview I had Monday, and so I am dealing with it by cleaning things.

Border Patrol is out and about in Little Village this morning.
