Snow commute!
Not the apocalyptic blizzard we were half-expecting, but a decent couple of inches in Andersonville. I'm not in Leeds any more!
Soundtrack: Delphine Nuptials, from the terrific Don Byron & Aruan Ortiz album a couple of years back.

The 1919 race riot is one of the most underdiscussed events in Chicago’s history. Great to see this team’s work continuing to make an impact.
The Chicago Race Riot of 1919 Commemoration Project has spent years installing memorials throughout the city to honor those killed during the historic event. The latest additions were featured in a walking tour in the Loop on Saturday.

It's been a few days and I think I'm ready. Tho I've a cry coming.
Sadly, we had to let the Bowie the Dogg go last week. He had congestive heart failure and his suffering was too painful.
Our vet was compassionate and Bowie slipped away with his head in my lap.
Goodbye Bowie my bestest doggie.

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

Reread Susan Stryker's "My Words to Victor Frankenstein Above the Village of Chamounix: Performing Transgender Rage" last night, for the first time in about 5 years.
An incredible piece, more inspirational to me now than ever.
Live your life in joy, but also in rage. Don't shy away from your rage.

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Despite my fears, survived almost two weeks in the UK with zero terfery.
Good times with family and friends, and some fun explorations. @scarlettaddams.bsky.social will get over her "narrow roads with 60mph speed limits and tractors" trauma eventually.
