The amount of contempt CPD has for Chicagoans is unbelievable

I wish I got a 2-day parade by being incredibly bad at my job

Sure why not

If we can shut down DLSD like this for a morning commute, maybe it’s not needed after all 🤔

To be clear: I called my Alder’s office yesterday to complain about the scale and span of the closures and it was news to them. There was no democratic process for this procession. No community input or consideration. Police just did this and barely bothered to inform anyone, least of all our reps

Our feature artist/reference for today is this WONDERFUL page on how to draw WINGS by the talented @jenndeut! I love a model sheet like this, which actually explains WHAT the different wing types DO, not just HOW they LOOK! So useful! #gamedev #animationdev #conceptart #manga
