I put another another chess board on top of my alley trash chess table and now it has a face with a little knobby nose. Hiding behind my desk because it's shy.

Did you use a reference for the "73"(?) numbering style or is that original? I'm obsessed with it, it's like bloopy dot matrix

I think what is sorely lacking from our political analysis in this moment is that the cops are all stupid. It must be said: they are stupid as fuck. I don't mean it in the cruel way; I mean they had every opportunity, did their best and they cooked up a brick. They got a shit brick rattling in there

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

i think the thing i like most about singing 'fly me to the moon' is that it puts the burden of flying me to the moon on the other person.

What I love about the "Hard men good times" soft men hard times etc thing is how a close reading reveals to us that things can only be hard or soft

Most painful thing I ever felt was tonight when some guy called out to his friend "Au revoir, Shoshanna!"(??) too close to my face, saw me w/ my bike, said "there you go brother" staunchly holding the train doors for me (the doors dont need to be held and are operated by a conductor standing nearby)

Incredible feature of Reyes Park in Chicago that I just learned about which is: a large crucifix hanging on the side of the ruined cathedral and Jesus is protected from thrown objects by a sort of riot shield of a foggy plexi-glass bubble framed in aluminum and suspended by cables
