Libraries purchase books. When you see a book at the library, it isn’t “free”
the library bought it.
which in turn means that the community bought it.
In other words, library books are not lost sales for authors and publishers; they’re positive sales. Active sales. Those are bought.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Well this is an odd weather forecast.
Chicago may experience less tear gas use as Operation Midway Blitz winds down. Cold and wet weather reduce effectiveness, while wind adds unpredictability.
Wind, cold temps can change the impact of tear gas and pepper balls, experts say

My 10 year old daughter asked why I'm laughing, so I had to explain this whole thread to her.
The good news is, she really likes Allen Ginsberg now.

Day 9:
For BLUE SKIES, I looked up the physics of firing a gun while skydiving.
For FROM NOW ON, I researched hypothetical plans for destroying or redirecting an incoming asteroid.
For, you know, reasons.

It's nuts. I can feel it everywhere I go in this city. Everybody in every neighborhood is exhausted, traumatized, and on alert, ready to protect our neighbors.
