My years old solution that I have told to many elected officials - make Milwaukee bikes only during rush hour. It'll pull bike traffic to a safe space. Us drivers have plenty of other options.

Well now I know how to saw "Houston, we have a problem," en Español. jajajaja!

*tap tap* Sports are inherently political. Always. Having a corrupt POTUS ask a corrupt governing body to break a rule? not an every day thing. But let's not act like sports are devoid of politics. Tax payer money. Gentrification. Affordability. Who gets to play. Who makes our equipment & gear.

the number of people on this app who think I'm white is amazing.

Inaccurate headline. Only a handful showed up at the subcommittee hearing. Also the photo selected for this story reflects the rightwing owners of WGN. The Sun-Times centers the teen leaders: chicago.suntimes.com/city-hall/20...

This is such bullshit. Canada gets away with its own evils because the US demands so much attention, but it does the same things as the US while covering it with a veneer of niceness.

Intro post for new followers. I'm a full time writer & creative. If you like women's sports, want to know about them, especially if you're a Chicagoland, please subscribe to my newsletter supportwomenssports.com

My book is now available! I repeat, my book is now available at @bookshop.org - in time for anti-prime day! It had been on backorder for weeks. Fight fascism. Buy banned books. bookshop.org/a/22221/9781...

NY-10, my district, is the most Jewish congressional district in the country, w/about 25% of voters identifying as Jewish. And yet tonight the district threw out pro-Israel Rep. Dan Goldman, and elected Brad Lander, who calls Gaza a genocide and favors an cut-off of weapons to Israel, by 30+ pts. 1/

Sad to think that my board book, J is for Justice" would be banned under this directive. Maybe Washington needs to ban book banning like we did in Illinois?

Gen X queers.... who was your queer awakening? If it's a real person, no need for names. A lot of memes are Millennial-centric. Upon reflection mine includes Kristy McNichol & Leather Tuscadero.

The Liberty clinching a spot in the Commissioner's Cup Championship may be the biggest thing to happen for New York City sports this weekend. #WNBA

Why do we laugh at UFO believers but right there is Steven Spielberg?

New issue of Support Women's Sports is out! THE SKY WON! And we should be cautious about making Skylar's messy hair our lucky charm. supportwomenssports.beehiiv.com/p/the-sky-fi...

Watching "Legally Blonde" and while rideshares have been devastating in many ways, it is nice that you can call one and not have to ride home with the person who just dumped you.

Love to fellow Scoobies mourning our fave librarian dad. There's no way Giles could've had that much heart without Tony. I'm heartbroken. bbc.com/news/article...

Breonna Taylor would have been 33 years old today..... If she hadn't been murdered by Louisville police officers.

Thanks to @blockclubchi.bsky.social for covering the banning of my children's book. I set out to write a book empowering young people, which I guess is a bannable offense. blockclubchicago.org/2026/06/03/h...

Trying to be a full-time writer & seeking the elusive, steady PT job. Just got another rejection and this line killed me, "Unfortunately, we were unable to offer you an interview, and the position to which you have applied is no longer available." Like, did you fill it or cut that job altogether?

Is it time to panic, Chicago Sky and Chicago Stars fans? Cause something has to change. #supportwomenssports supportwomenssports.beehiiv.com/p/maybe-it-i...

You should go look through my Threadless lineup. There's a bunch of weird stuff in there you probably haven't even seen. No you are not busy don't give me that. octophant.threadless.com/designs

So proud to serve with @dionmcgill.bsky.social . Great op-ed, sir. thetriibe.com/2026/06/opin...

This should be posted everywhere until the midterms and then some.

When the day comes that someone actually loves up to their promises to Kacey Musgraves that album is gonna be so good, we're gonna need to take the week off. Her breakup albums are fanfuckingtastic.

Something funny for @avitalnn.bsky.social - each time I try to type birth (even right there!) I type bitch. My finger memory is strong. Future apologies if any of my book reviews say perfect bitch myth.

I think it would be cool if food pantries didn't need to rely on donations from harmful sports gambling sites in order to fill gaps left by federal funding cuts made by an administration that wants to kill poor people

OMG! Just now looking at showtimes for Sapphopalooza and the Music Box put Carol on Mother's Day. 💀

Latest issue of my women's sports newsletter is about Tash Cloud. Who she is, what this means for the team, & why this is a great match for Chicago politically. Plus thoughts on the women's rugby trans exclusion rule. 🤢 Read & subscribe at supportwomenssports.beehiiv.com/p/chicago-go...

Josh Weiner spent most of May Day with Nate Friedman, the brave sunglasses wearing YouTube pest who is sure all protesters get paid. (Guess who he often implies pays them. Come on. Guess.) I know Friedman has no shame, but Weiner appears to feel awkward chasing children around, as he should.

LOL! Who can't trick him? www.npr.org/2026/04/23/n...

I am helping put together a panel of queer speakers for a work event. Do you happen to know a queer speaker from Ireland or India you’d recommend? Born in the US, but able to speak about their experience in the country would be fine, too.

💚🤎

Lol. A substack asking about decency.

Pope Leo is no angel.

Being at the gym, loving how strong my body is getting, & then hearing "Unpretty" was a lot. Gen X gals please chime in if you get it.
