(tho actually I think her books got popular a few years later, so maybe this is more something that helped usher in an era of imitators, I dunno)

Cool, thanks. I mean obviously the aesthetic was widespread back then, but this image definitely looked like it could’ve graced a copy of Deenie or whatever

Gotta ask: Did this Drew person also do kids’ book covers? Because this thing has absolutely massive original-1970s Judy Blume paperback vibes (& I mean this as a compliment)

seriously though: Congrats again on all this, & I do hope I get to see it at some point. Also thinking about film-going in Bklyn gives me pleasant flashbacks to various nights of zipping from Sunset Park to BAM alone on weeknights to watch a lot of great movies; solo trip home was always very zen

Bebo, Chicago Rat Czar 🐀 @bebopott.bsky.social · 7h

beyond parody

"The mounted patrol is an important tool for public safety — one that helps bridge the trust gap between residents, some of whom have a less than generous view of police, and the officers tasked with protecting our city. Kids feel safer around officers on horseback, the presence of the animal offering comfort and evoking calm. This highly visible, less intimidating police presence does exactly what we want law enforcement to do: work in cooperation with the community.

And these horses aren’t just steeds, they’re living memorials bearing the names of officers who’ve died in the line of duty — the entrance to each stall is adorned with a photo and a tribute to the officer. In 2023, a horse was named in honor of Officer Ella French, who was shot and killed while conducting a traffic stop in 2021.

Is Chicago really going to sell off Ella French’s horse?"

if you’re feeling nostalgic, he’s one of the interviewees in this show from a decade(?) or so ago (he died around the start of Covid, & I kind of suspect that might’ve been the culprit, but who knows)(but in any case: a sweet dude who made all lil freaks feel welcome)

Ah, that’s when I started school there, but I grew up comparatively close, so by sophomore year of high school friends & I used to go into the city occasionally to see shows or etc. My old best friend bought bondage pants there during his punk phase. Sadly, Jimmy, the sweet manager dude, is now RIP

This is yet another reminder that the "you can just walk around with your papers and be fine!" is a lie: the cops routinely claim whatever documentation you provide is invalid

It's racism all the way down
