I got my flu&covid shots for the year yesterday and while my skeleton hurts like it has every other year it’s sitting more in my spine this time than in my hip sockets, and my brain is on and awake more than in past years

stitching these two shots together really gives you a sense of just how many people made it out today

i stitched together two shots from the fox 32 helicopter footage of the chicago no kings protest. that's a lot of people

a helicopter view of the chicago loop facing southward down michigan avenue across the chicago river from trump tower. the art institute is circled in red in the top left corner; westbound wacker drive is in the lower right corner. the street is full of protestors all the way from the art institute to the jeweler building. not visible are even more protestors assembled in grant park

An easy one: Any comics film adaptation that exists without the original creator being able to pay off their house is a moral failure

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky.

Block on sight.

Protect your digital space.

Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.

The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

The thing about Chicago is that if you move to Chicago, you will quickly learn about Lower Wacker, and then at some point after that, somebody will tell you that there is a *Lower* Lower Wacker, and you will believe with your whole heart that they’re fucking with you, but they’re not

ugh and Graceland is my FAVE to explore, it’s so BEAUTIFUL❣️ they have my boy Eternal Silence getting restored rn but i did get to visit Inez

Eternal Silence wrapped in protective plastic with scaffolding erected in front of it, and a van for a monument restoration service on the path adjacent to the statue

The monument for Inez Clarke, a glass-covered statue of a 7yo girl who’d passed in 1880, sitting in a chair and holding a folded umbrella in front of her. Several coins and one peppermint candy line the edge of the statue’s plinth. The statue is supposedly haunted. I like to say hello to her whenever I visit Graceland.

spent a couple hours wandering around graceland today and got complimented on my bag by a couple of goths having a picnic above the row of conjoined mausoleums

the Palmer monument at Graceland Cemetary

the Kimball monument at Graceland cemetary

Several ornate monuments and memorial obelisks framing a row of conjoined mausoleums in the distance

The black tote bag that says “Blood Donor” at the bottom, printed in red below a person’s neck that has a vampire fang bitemark in it. A pair of very nice goths complimented it

either this or we gotta supply every single person with a free smart phone that works all the time for no money 🫡 anything less and you're going to hell as a person imo

Keezy Young🌼 @keezyyoung.bsky.social · 2d

tbh I don't think this is that niche but man we gotta make LIVING accessible for people who don't have smart phones and/or data. I'm talking bus schedules, restaurant menus, doing your laundry, accessing social security and unemployment, all of it. we goddamn GOTTA dude

to be uncharacteristically vulnerable on main for a second, i cling to the lifeless body of social media in 2025 partially for self-promotion and partially because it once brought me all of my dearest friends. i can't let it go yet... not yet...!

Everyone saying "make weird art!" you better fucking mean it. There better not be an unspoken "but not too weird" tacked on at the end.

I'm so proud of everyone from my old neighborhood of Rogers Park in Chicago. I see what you have been and are doing. I am so proud of how organized the community is and how much more so everyone is becoming. It is inspiring. Just one example... And this is something EVERYONE can do. Everyone.
