Pretty proud that last night a guy at the bar was asking "who's that fabulous sounding singer who has done a lot of work with Joni Mitchell?" And I was immediately Brandi Carlile! 🌟

Me to myself lately

My new car has a CD player and I am excited to dig out my CD case! Or should I finally get a CD visor case?

“Police beats where peacekeepers are active saw a decrease in homicides of more than 63%, more than double the citywide average.” We know what works, and Shotspotter isn’t it.

@refrag.bsky.social happy birthday 🥳🥳

Can someone make a cut of Bang Bang wo Nicki? Please & thank you

Transferring my playlists to Qobuz and they don't have @anidifranco.bsky.social 's Untouchable Face. This could be a deal breaker. Like that holds my breakup playlist together!

If you are also confused by the NHL's embrace of Heated Rivalry, you MUST read @thefrankiedlc.news 's take. TLDR? Don't buy into the hype. And if you do, at least hold the league accountable for years of homophobia. I still haven't watched, but will now hear takes on why I should.

OMG. I just lost an hour of my day & likely a year of my life trying to get a quote from Progressive for a possible car purchase. It always baffles me how comprehensive insurance is NOT comprehensive.

The solo part of Christmas is here and I decided to rewatch the last season of She-ra before it leaves Netflix. 1. Now I'd love a recap 2. The theme song is perfect for our anti 🧊 work 3. Horde Prime looks like Vecna. 4. TY 4ever @gingerhaze.bsky.social for this show.

Are you free on Monday night? I’m one of the readers @missspoken.bsky.social and will talking about Toast at Cole’s’ bar. Show starts at 7pm and is free. Come join me, will you?

Ok how much did the military lose. The USPS is not a business

Hey @chicagocta.bsky.social , Would it hurt the 155 for the driver to breathe when they stop at the Loyola Red Line? I ran down the stairs and missed the bus. I swear the drivers like to leave us waiting for 20 mins. @ctaction.org

HEY SURVIVORS !! HEY ATTENTION TO ME beloveds you do not have to read or witness all of this . You do not have to re traumatize You don’t owe nobody nothing

Friday's episode of @sarahspain.com 's podcast is so frustrating! Felt like she was being mansplained the entire time. Some real gems in there. Ended on a great note w "Good game, Veronica." Gonna save the clip for when I need a quick pick me up. www.podbean.com/ea/dir-9udx5...

The best time to acknowledge that the right wing was never interested in fighting antisemitism was from the start. The second best time is now.

THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR! 🐐

THAT GAME! I love sports.

This week can get bent.

Happy 100th to the most adorkable man.

They're playing "Heaven is a place on Earth" at the gym and I might be the only one here who can remember when this came out.

Christmastime in Chicago

Today I was asked if I've ever watched "Die Hard." I have never "Do you know how old I am?" so fast.

I've never been able to do a pull up but I'm working on it. But i do know even my weighted pull ups have better form than H*gseth's regular ones.

I really hope the @nwslsoccer.com includes in the Trinity Rule that any journalist who asks about her dad gets banned.

You might think it's junk, but it's their whole lives.

Someone needs to remind me to put emergency earrings in my work bag. Can't save me tonight, but future me will need it!

I haven't watched "Little House on the Prairie" in decades, but it was on and I immediately knew it was the episode where Laura didn't pray for her brother and he dies. Gen X brain, yo! Traumatized & filled with facts.

Well there goes our tourism dollars!

who could have predicted this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiqua...

My MIL got it when I was in my 30s (?) and I was counting down to when I could get the vax. It was a doozy but I do NOT want anything to do with getting actual shingles.

I heard there's an apartment available in NYC...

Petition to end using "While you weren't paying attention " in any headline forever because we're paying attention to so much.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Adults: ugh... this 6 7 thing is so dumb. *anytime someone says 9 in front of Gen X*

I want to watch some new to me holiday movies. What's your fave holiday movie?

Y'all... FIFA has been as corrupt as the 🍊 administration for decades, if not forever. This participation award & bribe is 100000000% their brand.

“Mayor Richard M. Daley struck a deal to close a budget shortfall — the city got a paltry $1.16 billion upfront in return for a 75-year lease of Chicago’s paid street parking system to Chicago Parking Meters (CPM).“ Pain every time I read this.

What a shitty week to not have a neighborhood pizza joint around the corner.

Am I crashing out? Who isn't?

Often I have no sense of scale. Every time I got asked about the snow on Saturday, I was like, "It's not bad. But it is still snowing." It wasn't until Sunday when the 11yo nephew asked how much we got & I measured 11.5" in our front yard that I was like, 'WOW! That is a lot of snow."

Women & Children First have really outdone themselves with this year's gift guide. Something for everyone on your list from your local feminist bookstore! simplebooklet.com/womenchildre...

Revealed? Like it was pretty clear he's been lying all along, Bill.

For a single empty nester, there sure are a lot of shoes laying around my place. 🤔

The Super Bowl Shuffle doc was a delight. I was too young when the song took over our lives to know the details. Seems appropriate that we have Jovan Musk to thank for one the best core memories of my childhood. #DaBears

It’s always been about white nationalism. All of it. Islamophobia AND antisemitism, the trans panic AND trad wives, breaking public education AND attacking DEI, dismantling abortion rights AND deprofessionalizing women workers. The GOP wants a white ethnostate. Some admit it more openly than others.

But we have generations growing up experiencing active shooter drills as kindergarteners.

I lost my job, I can't afford turkey or pie, and my kids have measles. But at least I'm not seeing any trans people in the Macy's parade.

Was wondering why dude wipes sponsored the cute little horses but really they sponsored the poop crew. LOL!
