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

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

Harrisburg, PA — there are so many older women in banana suits at the Capitol holding antifa signs and none of that sentence would have made sense to me 10 years ago

I didn't take pics but the feeling of being in a group of people with no visible beginning or end was so thrilling. The opposite of online anomie, and a living counterpoint to the wary, isolated, compartmentalized world the shitheads want to make. It's simple and obvious I guess but it means a lot.

Sorry to be corny but the aerial shots of these crowds are almost indescribably moving and hopeful

today i saw a girl sitting on her dad's shoulders with a sign saying "HATE IS NOT THE FUTURE. I AM," a couple with a baby stroller carrying one reading "WE'RE HERE FOR OUR SON'S FUTURE," and several older people with signs that said "I NEED TO BE ABLE TO TELL MY GRANDCHILDREN I DIDN'T STAY SILENT" 🥹

They'll cast these rallies as "angry" but everyone there is plainly having a great time because it's fun to get together with like-minded people to engage in the oldest American tradition: telling a tyrant to eat shit
