seasonal affective disorder is newly hitting me hard this year . . . . fellow chicagoans, do you have any tips for digging yourself out? is it too late for me to start taking vitamin d?

actually if you want to buy sleeping bags / tents for our neighbors hit me up, that's actually shopping in solidarity

chicago x adam curtis // [i hate it here]

time loop // thoughtmaybe.com/the-miami-mo...

finished 'fear of falling' last night and i wish i liked it more; i found 'dancing in the streets' + 'living with a wild god' very impactful, but this one fell flat // tho, I was absolutely spoiled by the last two books i read, t'is folly to think ehrenreich could follow fanon or george jackson

forgive the sincere posting

feeling shaky today / but yesterday, the prairie felt rapturous

i love when my vibe check of a film is right

i wish you could group your signal chats into folders

instead of posting de-mobilizing shit, electeds + wannabe electeds could . . . stay silent

it bothers me that i can't capture the whole truth in a short text

how do you document, how do you focus your political principles / goals?

mutual aid request in chicago! there is a need for shelf-stable food staples — requests are coming in from moms, community members, crisis workers it's imperfect as an amazon wish list, but it's something we can manage amongst our safe networks, we will distro food quickly please share!

been separating my life into different notebooks, instead of having one chaos journal but now i'm carrying around 4+ notebooks everywhere

oh no i'm repeating the enemies to lovers arc again

journalists, when reporting on an ordinance, I am begging you to include the ordinance number in your article

my printer ink budget is begging you to use less photos + color in your zines and resources [or make a printer ink friendly alt option]

pulled this out of the depths of my likes bc it haunts me (complimentary), and I need the regular reminder to refrain from unintentional / unhelpfully-weedsy research

🚬 wild saturday night

anyone have a good sour cherry rice recipe? [feeling inspired]

so funny how many essays + articles written on [how to protect yourself from] surveillance tech are locked behind some sort of data collection

happy kesha album release day to those who celebrate

embracing experimentation and action and connection and unruliness and struggle and, when it comes, the bloom

screamed when I learned yesterday that andrew cu*mo is responsible for HUDs fucked 'continuum of care' program // this is awful yet very validating to my anti COC stance www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Punk as in we care for each other

beware : cyclist terrified of driving over 20mph (me) will pilot a u-haul amidst tonight's unusual spring thunderstorm

reading frantz fanon today

is growth/transformation ever painless? asking for a friend

Me *sexting*: I read that book you recommended.

an indulgence!

a really gorgeous episode

desperate to see a daffodil

snowy beach run

me : why does my stomach hurt also me : on my fifth cup of coffee

the puppet committee meeting broke me

Genuinely love that city council is holding a mock trial for a scandalous puppet. Grimm’s fairy tale-ass government. Whimsical

felt wrong typing 'google collaborates w/ the NSA' into a google doc

good morning to whoever requested chicago public library carry a copy of capitalist realism (absent from the catalog a couple years ago)

‘the long run goal is, I think, the same for every human being, that politically he or she may be allowed to live free from fear, insecurity, terror and oppression, free also from the possibility of exercising unequal or unjust domination over others’

cynically suggesting a fourth game of politics (that has existed for some time) where social ontology: world made up of powerful + powerless; task of politics: prevent powerful from becoming powerless AND minimize guilt for division; goal of politics: power

love / hate doing research for my job, latest find (published via business insider) : www.documentcloud.org/documents/21...

is anyone running something like this that documents more (or a different category of) executive orders/policy changes? immpolicytracking.org

The decision this week to extend 10 S. Kedzie's hours from 5 PM to 8 PM is a particular head-scratcher. Windchills will be in negative territories and falling tomorrow night and you're going to be telling people to leave?

I lied the despair is back

reading graeber has been transforming my political despair I have so many good books on hold at the library // I need more book club in 2025

filed a foia for email records with 2fm, and 2fm told me they don’t house those records — even tho the city’s website explicitly says they do. did something get messy in the division of AIS? does DTI have email logs now?
