wonder why it seems that way

A map of the density of populations in the United States, ranging from green at less than 1 per square mile up to red at greater than 5k per square mile. There is a lot of population density in the eastern US and notably less in the mountain west

some dumb prick almost crashed into my local. no doubt driving too fast in the bus only lane on Chicago, or turning off of Leavitt.

Car crashed into light pole outside Tumans Pub in Chicago IL

my little patch is getting colorful these days

$I don't know what this flower is called but it's a pink cone of fractal cones forming the cone and it fucking rules$

I also don't know the name of this flower but there are three buds and one is starting to blossom and it's got long white pedals and longer yellow bits

these ones are bachelor buttons, in a bluish purple

reposted "user was blocked for this" post reads "if they are too heavy, I can hold them for you 🙈🔥" and the post below it from Corel Clipart Gallery is SUMO_2.BMF and depicts two sumo wrestlers (rikishi) engaged in a wrestly embrace, one wearing a purple mawashi and the other in blue.

I'm done calling it "Chicago," from now on it's

A sign outside a building, painted black with white scripty letters, reads "Pope Place"

A back alley with massive thunderheads forming in the sky in the background. The clouds are lit from behind while the sun is setting.

The top fluffy part of a very big thunderhead bearing down on me, blue sky behind. The cloud is lit from under and behind, with some shadow pointing upward

Another thunderhead lit from underneath, looking quite fungal, almost like the underside of a mushroom. All against a darkening blue sky

powers out again, last summer they had to swap a transformer back here. now there's two cherry pickers!

Two trucks with cherry pickers and linemen in baskets in the back alley behind our place. You can see the sun is shining bright and it's HOT

they're tearing down a chimney at Jonathan Y Scammon. Looks really satisfying throwing the bricks down the inside.

A couple workers on a big cherry picker taking down a chimney brick by brick with jackhammers and throwing the bricks down the inside of the chimney. The chimney is made of red bricks just like the school nearby. There's a playground and some fencing in front of the chimney. A partially cloudy and warm summer day in Chicago, IL.

a beautiful view of lake Michigan from Hammond Lakefront Park, in Indiana. The water is calm and blue, sandy beach under a blue sky, I'm sitting in the shade of a tree. It's perfect.

My green bike, an all city space horse, leaned up against a tree on a grassy bit of land next to lake Michigan on Promontory Point in Chicago, IL. The downtown skyline can be seen on the horizon, a beautiful blue sky overhead
