Finally have WiFi back after not having internet at home for a week and a half. Plus, with the snow, I get to work from home.
Which means, I’m about to spam all the BHB posts that I missed posting to bluesky this week. 💅

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."
In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together
"Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

Just a reminder that if you have parents/family members who support you, your passions, your career, your side projects, etc… cherish that shit. Because there are so many out there whose family is such a fucking disappointment.
