Board President @bscactionfund.org The real infrastructure is the friends we make along the way. Free Palestine. She/Her. ✶✶✶✶
I just ignore the instructions and take Montrose anyways. But this is what it looks like on Google.
No other way to do trash collection along the lakefront trail than with a full size garbage truck. And this is not to shame the driver, who was almost certainly assigned the route and the equipment.
Here's a video of a cop cruising through the pedestrian path in highly crowded Oz Park on a beautiful summer afternoon.
Forgetting you have a kiddie pool set up outside until suddenly a soaking wet dog appears in your living room.
I am officially "wear a wrist brace to bed to offset carpal tunnel symptoms" years old.
Everything about the cop presence on the lakefront was deeply infuriating. We need to make it so that you simply cannot drive two dozen SUVs into the park and onto the grass.
I at least got him to pull up a few feet. Originally he was backed up to the concrete partitions.
We relocated to the living room for a change in scenery and TBH I don't think she's appropriately remorseful for her responsibility in my sleep deficit.
Relatedly, here's my dad using a map to plan our trip to California this Fall.
What's the name we're giving to a group of Cubs fans on Lime scooters? A flock? A herd?
Relatedly I'm on WBEZ's "Say More" this morning if y'all want to tune in.
Laying around at Welles Park this afternoon and it truly feels like I'm a background actor in a Nora Ephron movie. There's literally two musicians playing guitar in the Gazebo!
I made this for my Instagram stories as a follow-up to poll results I shared, but I decided Bluesky should see it too.
On Thursday a few of my movement friends and I participated in a direct action outside AIPAC's office. They've spent over $20 million in Illinois' Democratic primary this cycle, mostly distributing their money through shell PACs. Our democracy is not for sale!
I know tarrifs are a thing. But expecting me to pay 3 figures at delivery rather than at point of sale is bananas. I had no idea this fee was coming. For reference, this is for an apparel item and it raises the final cost by about 50%
