And I, as a district councilor, can't accept free Cubs tickets.

Hear from our very own worker-owner and co-founder @sesmith.lol and a powerhouse panel of trans media at the trans media convening organized by @objectivejournos.bsky.social ! Flyer by rommy torrico 💻 Register at https://f.mtr.cool/ngpcaddqsz by November 14th!

I've eaten a lot of Starburst mini packs since Halloween and have gotten zero yellows. Have they started to not include them because most ppl don't like them? As someone who prays there isn't yellow in the pack, I am ecstatic.

"You know us...So please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong." Powerful letter from retired Chicago broadcast journalists about what ICE/CBP is doing to our city: "it is terror" www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/13/l...

What an unconstitutional clusterf*ck

Since ICE & Border Patrol cant' handle a Chicago winter, I think they need a new name. "HANS" since he was the villain in Frozen and they clearly can't handle the cold? Now we just need to figure out what HANS stands for. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/11/b...

LARRY!!!!!! Do you have an innate reason for this insight?

LOL at these weak ass bullies, taking the winter off.

“Hunted.” This is the right co-opting language again. ICE and other federal agents are literally tracking and abducting human beings without warrants, but people who tried to hijack a national election are the real victims.

If your city is next, mutual aid and neighborhood watch networks are the most important things to scale up, but whistles are a great tool to get people taking the first step. linktr.ee/apwhistles

Bovino is a fragile little man who wouldn’t know a good selection at a carniceria if it tear-gassed him.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

Mayor Brandon Johnson responds to Bovino: "No, Greg it is not. This city belongs to Chicagoans." @wttw.bsky.social

"We don't agonize, we organize!" #ThankYouNancy Pelosi for teaching us all that driving call to action. Under your leadership we have thrived and made the country a better place for the children, for all of us. And no matter what orange crap is flung at us, you keep us focused on what matters.

My kingdom for someone to gift Da Pope a women's sports jersey and the media report on it! And yes, my kingdom is mostly a pile of books and decades of planners.

Far Northside! There's an in person 🧊 watch & community defense training on Saturday. Scan QR code to register. Training is being organized by West Ridge neighbors with assistance from Protect Rogers Park. Childcare available & interpretation available in Spanish and Urdu. Wheelchair accessible.

Is there a hologram at a Holocaust museum that will help us, comfort us, guide us, on the unrelenting 🧊 sightings that start as soon as we wake up? Like to know how the resistance persevered back then? For reals. This isn't a new moment in history, but is for us.

Fresh newsletter: Where I wrote about us winning, then was punched, & had to reread what I wrote to remind myself that we're winning. feminista.beehiiv.com/p/peace-love...

"To get through any of us, you will have to get through all of us!"

Cuomo, once again being reminded, in a ruinous fashion, that no means no.

Good gawd, I love sports.

It's been so long that someone's been inappropriate with me that I asked a guy 3x to repeat "Can you take me home with you?" Then i told him to get the fuck away from me. Ugh. Men.

BASEBALL!!!

How is that a ground rule double?! PICK UP THE BALL! It's not like it's stuck in ivy!

"What's the SALUTE info" is this moment's "it's on the syllabus."

The shrinkflation on candy is SCARY!

Love how this parody goes over why NYC should vote for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social !!

I am loving all the restaurants offering free meals as SNAP benefits end, but wondering how many of their employees are already on SNAP AND if they offer free meals to their employees already. Cause, babes, you may be the problem.

Those of you upset about 6-7 never had your crush just break out into cries of, "Cornholio!" and it shows.

The only downside to Signal chats is that when I was a little girl reading about the WWII resistance, the Underground Railroad, and other rebels, I thought I would need Morse Code or some secret code. But hey, lil me would be proud of what I am doing w modern technology. And a whistle.

Standing at a T intersection watching for 🧊 as kids enjoy recess. I think thinking how far I'll go to protect a neighbor. F This is a ridiculous moment in history. One too often repeated.

This needs way more views: two weeks ago a mouse decided to enter a room with 15+ cats (it survives fwiw) youtu.be/MA3jFyuEnuQ?...

My Fossil hybrid watch was murdered in a rain storm. I bought a new one off eBay, but the app is too updated for it... so I'm in the market for a new hybrid watch. Looking for recs. I prefer my watch to look like a watch, not a screen on my wrist. Hit me w links! Thanks!

Goodnight, baseball nerds!

The umps want to go home! Lol

When did Mary Hart call it quits?

I AM DELIRIOUS! Also gonna get some cereal.

How many "All Too Well"s is this game?

Absolutely need a photo of these two watching this game over brunch.

Late night BSky... Great time to share that a friend & I are launching a slide deck dating show for queers over 35yo at Whiskey Girl. Nov 19th at 7pm. Only the person being pitched needs to be queer & over 35. Be a wing person for your sexy peep! Info at our Insta www.instagram.com/p/DP_-Tf2Di0c/

I'm crying laughing at this

What would be the baseball equivalent of penalty kicks? Cause this game needs that.

I feel like I should be writing, but my brain only has enough energy for this game. SIXTEEN.

OMG. Did he fall asleep?

LOL! That throw screamed, "Please, God, end this game."

OOOMMMMGGGGG!

Well it's the World Series ruined my next day season. Welcome to the 14th inning! At least I'm not on the east coast.
