he's such a soulful boy 🧡

an orange tabby cat, Billy, loafs on a cat tree and stares into the camera with big green eyes. he looks sad but that's just how his face is

a cool thing about living in the midwest is that autumn hits and very suddenly my hands are so dry that they're cracking and bleeding 😐

not in my care but he was found as like a 10 year old on the streets a few states over with a wounded paw and FIV so i assume he's seen some shit

poor Billy had some mysterious major anxiety/trauma reaction tn that we've never seen :/ he's doing better now but still seems a bit on edge and i feel so bad because i have no idea what the deal is. he was all puffed up and pacing, freaking out about my office window for hours no matter what we did

my orange tabby cat Billy lying in a loaf position on my potting mat. he looks a little tense or nervous

getting close to freezing tonight so i ran out and harvested the last of the veggies. it's very funny to me that after a pretty pathetic garden season the plants that gave me nothing all summer are now producing like wild and i got my biggest harvest at the end of October 😭 Chicago why

a black harvest basket filled with green tomatoes, various peppers, one flower, and a couple red tomatoes

I bet a candidate could do well with “yeah, I said some awful things online when I was younger, but I see why it was wrong, and I’m familiar with extremist spaces online, how young men get radicalized by them, and what we can do about it.”

Less good is “it’s wrong of you to care about what I said.”

Graham Platner to @daveweigel.bsky.social:
"How do you expect to win back men when you go back through somebody’s Reddit history and just pull it all out and say: ‘Oh, my God, this person has no right to ever be in politics?’"

DSCC Chair Gillibrand: “It’s up to the voters of Maine to decide.”

it bothers me so much that even male creators i really respect and think are generally good talk about the disgusting behavior of young men only in terms of what caused them to be that way. they really never talk about the impact their shitty views have on the women in their lives

i was crying in my car earlier and lemme tell you that's a lot more awkward to do driving in the middle of chicago than it was when i lived in rural pa

anyway i picked up some supplies to make ICE alert whistle kits from the nicest staffer at my alderman's office today. we keep pushing forward

i want to yell and scream and throw things but i am instead focusing on repressing my feelings as i have always been encouraged to 👍 anyway see you tomorrow when i'm sure i will be just as exhausted and defeated as i was today

i really am sorry for being a sad sack i don't have many outlets for it
