I like houseplants and ceramics. There will be cat pictures and typos.

I'm dragging this photo over from the other place and pinning it here since it makes me laugh. This is from my morning commute on the CTA Blue Line in February 2020. My first sign that things were going to get really weird, really quickly, and stay that way.

Rogers Park and surrounding neighborhoods were hit hard by immigration enforcement activity over the weekend.

There's no competition here, but I want to name that the same heavy, violent, fast-moving abduction pattern has invaded the southwest side about three times a week for over a month now.

If you ever get swatted with pizza, yeah, give me a call, and I'll walk over, because pizza.

I'm a human garbage can, so I'd probably eat whatever toppings were on the pizza.

‘We’re going to have to table that conversation until I see you in hell’ is such a great line.

We should do this in Chicago. It reminds me of the powerful project Tonika Lewis Johnson does in Englewood, bearing witness to the widespread land sale contract scam. Document for those left behind of the crimes committed against the people by the government. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Signs popping up around D.C. note: ‘ICE kidnapping happened here’

The signs range in style and mark numerous locations where people have been taken by federal agents.

It really is, I've been working in this same office for 12 years, so I run into it happening every year, and it's so goofy and phoned in.

Jes @jwolfe73.bsky.social · 11h

I don't have great sound insulation in my office windows, and the noise of that absolutely asinine Columbus Day parade they insist on holding for some reason is really annoying.

If you want a break from all this nonsense, but are too brain-damaged to log off, I recommend perusing the "Stupid Dove Nests" Subreddit - www.reddit.com/r/stupiddove...

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

There was pearl clutching about cops resigning en masse if Brandon Johnson won the mayoral election for Chicago in 2023, while I think he's a fairly mediocre mayor, it turns out they didn't. Long-standing right wing trope fails to deliver yet again.

It’s so fucked up, I was helping my friend put up Halloween decorations outdoors like I do every year and they were throwing tear gas canisters three blocks over by a church

Cleaning my apartment this morning and stressing out when is too early to vacuum to respect the downstairs neighbors who may want to sleep in on a Sunday morning.
