Ok so when a Black Woman says someone is racist, I'm going to believe them. 12/10 times. I've seen random tizzyent posts but I hit that BLOCK button once someone said he was anti-Black and then someone else cosigned and a bunch of commenters agreed. That's enough for me. Should be for y'all too.

I received this message in an email about the plan going forward to engage with voters differently: "Year-Round Organizing and Listening to Voters—Not Just Talking at Them" ... This is new? Kinda scary.

The CJ does the most while getting to O'Hare chronicles continue: It's 12:18 pm and we're pulling into Addison on the Blue Line. Flight starts boarding in 22 mins. #Chicago

When flight attendants tell you to sit your ass down and buckle up, there's a reason. Grateful that everyone on DL4819 is expected to live. You NEVER know when conditions may change.

Already there

And this is why I gave up my NYT subscription after 20 years.

Ive been thinking about this. During the next round of primaries in 26, 27, and 28, Illinois can primary every incumbent Dem EXCEPT FOR Gov. Jay Robert (JB) Pritzker. I mean all levels of govenrmwr, from city council to US senator. Y'all need to earn a vote this time.

The news is heavy. There's just bad news all around. My heart aches for the plane crash victims. For those under attack for simply existing. For those being actively erased. For those unsure if they'll still have a job, a home, and/ or the ability to eat. We have to do better.

Public health doesn't pause. We're still here - providing Illinoisans with health information you can trust.

I don't want to nitpick but in my mind a small plane carries like 8 or 10 people. A CRJ700 can hold up to 65 passengers plus crew. Wording like these can minimize the importance of a situation. Especially when it's a commercial airline flight.

Look at Teen Vogue, leading the charge on quality journalism and resistance.

Do what you can to fortify your mental health and resiliency. It's gonna be stressful. AF.

The things companies and people will do for optics. It's not working and they're still going with it. Make this make sense.

Things I'm manifesting in 2025: Friends getting jobs that gives me a United discount and a Marriott discount 😂😂😂. I'm trying to collect em all like its Pokémon.

It's weird seeing southern cities getting bigger snow totals than Chicago so far this winter

The HAWK is out this morning 🥶🥶🥶 #chicago

Illinois is getting mobile drivers licenses later this year! https://www.techtimes.com/articles/309068/20250114/apple-wallet-digital-id-adds-illinois-its-next-state-adopt-mobile-ids-coming-later-this-year.htm

I didn't know this was a thing in Chicago ! What a great and simple way to be green and help beautify the city through gardening. https://blockclubchicago.org/2025/01/14/citys-year-old-food-scrap-dropoff-program-diverted-nearly-250-tons-of-waste-from-landfills/

Hey Dems, y'all are still on my very last nerve. Stay tf away from my pockets. Learn to be effective and functional and maybe I'll throw you some change when the vibe is right.

If bots are gonna follow me to seduce and scam, can they at least be gay guys? Give me some eye candy at least 😮‍💨

Cuteness overload to start your Monday off right!! https://www.facebook.com/share/r/12JDNKCsUev/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Let's follow people who have a vested interest in creating a fairer democracy.

Slept for 11 hours last night. Obviously needed it.

You knew about the first Chicago fire, but did you know about the second one? thetriibe.com/2021/07/how-...

Going to spend more effort on here as the rest of social media descends into chaos. Part of me is really considering deactivating everything else.

Fun fact about me: I was a few classes away from a history minor and I also considered an exercise fitness minor but I really wanted to finish college early and get to grad school. I'm glad I did because I have the best possible life for me.

My husband is a locums (travel) physician and we pretty much live on the road. Chicago is home. We share the biz. He does the OR stuff and I do the logistics side. Traveling from site to site, state to state, on a weekly basis isn't easy, but it is easier because we do it together. #locumslife

I've been in St Paul for a few hours and I'm already putting companies on my "no" list. Cub Foods looks like a store thats been actively ignored by its owners yet they charging $13 for a lb of ground lamb? The absolute actual fuck? I took my ass on over to aldi and got that same lb for $5.85.

Testing out openvibe for cross-posting between threads and BlueSky cuz I’m not copy/pasting all day long 🤣
