One of the best things about #plowthesidewalks is that sidewalks are for everybody. You can't dibs a sidewalk, and once it's cleared, anyone can use it.
Ok people, let's get one thing straight. Whether you love dibs or hate dibs, we all agree on one thing: you don't get to claim dibs because you were parked and blocking snowfall. You have to actually SHOVEL THE SPOT.

If you don't like something, sharing it around for everyone else to not like it too is... A choice you can make.
You saw other people do it and they got lots of positive attention so why not

I tried to route through the off-street paths in the parks, and couldn't make it work in Humboldt. Too many paths laid before the age of automobiles are designed to cross roads mid-block, and there's been little effort to reconnect them.

I screwed up my home network, so I can't ssh into my hard coded IP raspberry pi. It's got these ridiculous micro HDMI monitor ports, so I ordered one from monoprice, and apparently there are multiple micro HDMI cables, because these are too big.

No, WTTW did not host a wine tasting with Samantha Steele on WTTW tonight. But it’s been posted as if it’s real, and the admission that it’s fake is buried in the comments.
But the creation and propagation in itself is extremely damning.

State legislatures and school boards all over are fighting about what it means to teach the past because more questions we ask the more they push for us to buy into their chosen mythology as our national collective memory.
We need to keep talking about where we came from & how we got here.

Stephen Miller's message is that people from certain cultures – non-white cultures is what he means – are human poison rather than refugees looking for a better life. The history of our country shows he's wrong. The history of fascism shows he's dangerous.

This is a great Chicago focussed list of charities. I've given to 14 of them. How many have you?
This truly started as a joke that neither of us could put down.
It is obviously Chicago-centric because we are women living in Chicago.
Our not at all comprehensive spreadsheet of orgs to give to can be found at bit.ly/GivingTuesdayQuiz.
