If I can stay awake for this appt, then I will reward myself by lying down for an hour or several.

southsideweekly.com/federal-agen... The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

This morning, a friend who had been traveling and was out of the loop asked me for resources to catch up on what has been happening in Chicago. If you are in a similar situation and need to catch up on the details, this piece outlines the events of the past week or so.

Had to take my daytime allergy pill because my throat and ears are itching so bad. 😩

Patel going to Chicago to ‘crush’ crime is made possible by decades of anti-black narratives about crime and anti-black divestment of resources and school closures.

Just printed, cut, and put my signage into the little sign holder. Things are coming together, and it is exciting!

Some folks have reported experiencing extended nausea and dizziness since being tear gassed in Brighton Park on Saturday. General reminder to seek medical care even if you think you can tough it out—document it all and start a paper trail. You never know if you may need it.

For $25k? That's cheap.

me to me: i can’t believe they haven’t responded to my text also me to me: did you press send?

That's about how I'd imagine the White House looking, if I'm being honest.

Gravy??? Baby, that's water thickened with cornstarch!!! (Video of a white lady wearing a Manic Meatballs cap in a blue polo putting food into a styrofoam container. The gravy is clear, like a cloudy aloe vera gel).

Took out some butter to make oatmeal cranberry walnut muffins. It was frozen, so it will take a while. I am so ready to take a nap right now because it is a rainy day. I started felting along with today’s lesson, but I got tired and just focused on some small areas so I wouldn’t mess up the

“The Librarians” examines the experiences of school librarians who have found themselves on the front lines of a battle against censorship. https://to.pbs.org/46TqfiW

It is a rainy day today, so after felting, I guess it’s laundry and baking.

This actress was named Luck Carless 🤣

It’s boiling in October because you’re using ChatGPT to write your emails, Janice.

Children living within two blocks of I-75 have asthma rates 25% to 42% higher than those living further away from major roads: planetdetroit.org/2025/10/detr...

Well let me make sure I got enough lube.

Let me go get that fancy rice soon. At least I can make pasta.

A federal judge declined to issue a restraining order against sending troops to Illinois, but she gave the U.S.DOJ 2 days to respond to request. @hannahmeisel.bsky.social @brendenmoore.bsky.social report. https://loom.ly/9GnMeYA

ICE said they were only going after “illegal immigrants.” Then they went after anyone who looked Hispanic or spoke Spanish. Now they’re going after Black people. And then the homeless. And they’re just getting started. If you wonder how it felt in 1933 Germany, you’re there.

Fear the Night was a good movie. It’s on Tubi.

Kind of feels like feds occupying our city for a month, killing one person and shooting another while attacking neighborhoods with chemical weapons and kidnapping hundreds of people already counts as a civil war whether the Guard arrives or not, but what do we know?

“Some men like the idea of a good woman but not the responsibility of having to show up for one”

The number of international students arriving in the U.S. in August fell by 19 percent this year compared with last year — the largest decline on record outside of the pandemic.

A must read for ANYONE who wants to understand why Black women are experiencing a uniquely bad labor market and why the 300,000 number isn't telling the full story. Dr. Valerie Wilson gets deep into the data around job losses and why paying attention to Black women matters. #blacksky

Now, more than ever, we need to shop local. With disregard to consumer protection, this administration is opening people up to scams, meaning online shopping is not going to be as safe as it once was. So get what you can now, have it shipped. The rest of the stuff, buy locally, see who in your

The TRiiBE asked why people should feel safe with this new EO, given the feds have ignored his previous order to not wear masks within city limits. “This is just one action of many,” Johnson said. thetriibe.com/2025/10/mayo...

What the actual. For those not in the know, B&T is a MAJOR library supplier (my last library system got about half of its new collection there every single year). Summer reading books for kids? B&T. This is WILD.

Dude in this movie said he's a sharp shooter, but couldn't hit a target a few feet away lol. I guess he hasn't played his video games while under stress or pressure lol.

This Evanston Roundtable article is phenomenal. The pictures are wild, but also it reports the chaotoc attack on protesters, in which IL State troopers participated, was directly ordered by Noem herself and led by Bovino who called the "Free Speech Zone" for protesters a "Free Arrest Zone." Do read.

Damn. This one is really gonna hurt.

even the radioactive ones?

You! Yes, you!! Peep this info:

a pocket phone book zine — one way to record phone numbers you need in your pocket 12 spots to record phone numbers for different types of people you might need like people who will provide safe harbor, people who have technical expertise and people who will pour into you we need each other 🏵️

Which means there will be more schools closing. There aren't enough rich kids to keep these colleges open. Which leads to more teachers, admin, support staff unemployed. More families will be in need. So, yeah, another collapse.

Well, ain't that some shit.

See the continued push for “individual-based” and not community? Because they don’t want us to care for ourselves and each other. They know that community means safety and if we don’t feel safe, we see everything and everyone as a threat.

Another one?! 🤣 loneliness epidemic indeed.

HAPPENING NOW — This morning, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order establishing “ICE-free zones.” “That means that city property and unwilling private businesses will no longer serve as grounds for these raids,” Johnson said to applause. thetriibe.com/2025/10/mayo...

Did her menopausal sex drive scare him? He should have just taken it and been happy. Because why are you not having sex when she wants it unless your manhood is tied only to your own sexual drive? He could have been ridden into exhaustion, languishing in sweaty sheets happy and glowing.

So, wait a minute. Was Babygirl about her marriage? Because I was having issues believing that a woman married to Antonio Banderas who centers her sexually (but doesn’t entertain her fantasies) a hard sell. But this?! This makes sense in a different way. I’d still be happy married to AB tho.

Heard an officer say "let's do it" and then, in the dark, they tackle Rabbi Ben to the ground. He's being loaded into a CCSO wagon now. Broadview police also here screaming at people.

Anybody else notice so many content creators on IG asking people to watch their videos all the way through and interact with posts because they’re trying to raise money (for stuff that living wages, healthcare access, and social programs could take care of) for something? It’s getting bad out there.

So, this little sculpture is going through an awkward phase, so I am taking a break and reminding myself that every piece of art goes through this.
