ICE is the new gestapo and should’ve been abolished years ago.

Fortunato (coughing): You’re certain the Criterion Closet is down here Montresor (picking up a trowel): Definitely. Have you thought about your picks yet

clearly he saw the photo i took of @imleor.bsky.social for @chicagoreader.com back in 2019 🍩

The Swan, No. 24, Group IX, by Hilma af Klint, 1914, 📸 by me

please and thank you 1) I miss the fun internet and 2) I have nothing to say about the news that we're not all already thinking and sometimes I feel bad for posting a silly little thing because it's just a constant stream of Very Serious News

all i want is to one day own a modest sized home in a walkable neighborhood and raise money for shelter animals. wear an outfit i like, walk to the grocery store, buy some nectarines, feed cats, and live in peace. just don't understand why achieving this is so hard

Clinton is a goddamn nightmare but the fact that former presidents (and other prominent former Dem politicians) ROUTINELY stay quiet on absolute horrors being done by the administration because of decorum but will pop up to shut down progressives really gives up the whole game.

They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”

This is one of many ways the trans rights and disability rights are linked: “Having to take medicine for the rest of your life” is not something to avoid at all costs, it’s something that comes for us all eventually as we get older. Disabled rights are your rights, trans rights are your rights

Gen Z/Alpha: the 2000s were cool we should bring some of that back Millennials: ok, let us tell you about some of our fav- Z/Alpha: *blasting creed and trying on low waisted jncos* Millennials: no wait The Govt: oh hell yeah! *frantically starts fabricating evidence of WMDs in the Middle East*

I had been living in Europe since before 9/11 and came back to a job in a diner where cnn played non-stop and the lies were breathtakingly obvious (having so many flashbacks to that very weird time in my life thanks to all of this)

There's a vaccine for cancer and we're going to get rid of it because of massive disinformation campaigns by this fucking death culture

My feature on how musicians deal with the American medical system is here, with artists detailing their struggles to get decent care for cancer, gender-affirming care, chronic illnesses, substance abuse, and catastrophic injuries. This one is important to me, so please take a few mins to read it!

not sure why only the worst bastards alive are allowed to be in charge of everything. but i guess it's been like six or seven thousand years of that so who am i to argue

what if "containment by police" and "wage labor" were not the only outcomes we imagined for young people

… running away from politics and public life?!?

never forget

when will someone lift me in the air and announce "best cat"

this is good!!

It is wild that this is the finding of basically every iteration of this poll, large or small, going back years. At some point one would hope that this finding would move more centrist people towards making change, but …

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

In case anyone has $250 for charity… i-d.co/article/nan-...

That’s my rep!!!

Pour one out for a real one.

i played a small role in helping shape the original implementation of citikey after trump got elected the first time. the core principle was *do not make a government list of vulnerable people* for this precise scenario. this is a gross betrayal of the public trust. valencia should resign.

Good times in Chicago. #nokings

Friday the 13th during Pride Month means that gays can have sex on the docks of Camp Crystal Lake and Jason can’t do anything about it.

Coyote pups at Graceland Cemetery!

UPDATE, they sent me a revised contract with perfectly acceptable terms. I am sharing this because this happens ALL THE TIME. I know they just don't want to keep track of licensing agreements but that doesn't mean you as an artist should give up your copyright to the work you created.

it's gotten better but i was really shocked at how local journalism institutions, especially the tribune, hated cyclists. and not out of any real conviction, just for sport

Chicago: this post is for you.

Worth noting today that the entire budget of the NEH is about $200M.

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.” Doechii at the #BETAwards

my transportation politics in one picture

tried to save money on parking and got an email from spothero with a VIDEO demonstration on how to find the very advanced Lower Wacker garage entrance. Somehow i found it but i have no idea if I’ll ever find the surface again, i guess i live underground now

uh oh trump passed an executive order that says no one may email me unless they are offering me money, guess everyone's gotta comply!!!!!!!!

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

Wednesday 5-8pm at the Empty Bottle (Chicago) I'm throwing my going away party/fundraiser for my film, Quiet in the House! performances by Sweat FM, Nikki Telegan, & Bran Moorhead, Shakespeare monologues, a @glittergutsy.bsky.social photo booth, & videos by yours truly. Masquerade looks encouraged!
