Today and every day, we recognize the hardworking Illinoisans who work around the clock to put food on our tables and carry on our proud agricultural traditions.

Know that we’ll always have your back.

Happy National Farmer’s Day!

They suck so much and I wish more people knew how awful they are.

I want everyone to remember this picture when the Salvation Army bell ringers start setting up shop outside grocery stores, especially if you live in the Chicagoland area. Don’t give these fuckers a dime.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

ICE agents are fucking ghouls. I don’t have the words to properly express how furious I am.

@nylafoxphrey.bsky.social and I lived in the 33rd ward and saw this woman every day for years while commuting out of Kimball Station. All the women working in this area are the sweetest people ever. This lady would have fed you and given you bottled water on the cheap.

Fuck these fucking monsters.

It is no longer reasonable to assume decency or honesty from any ICE agent.

Act accordingly. They will lie. They will cheat. They will steal. They will kill. All in order to hurt your friends and family for not fitting their broken definitions of what an American is.

Don’t play fair. ICE won’t.

They stayed there for a long time, just feeling very brave together.

We’re getting to that point in the year where I contemplate getting a 50 gallon vat of lotion and marinating myself in it due to how dry my skin gets.

I forgot how much of a delicate operation it is to blow my nose with a fresh septum piercing. I can't wait for this to heal up so my nose isn't so sore. 😭

An older drawing, but still very much applicable to right now. 💩

Drawing of an opossum biting a fat oily snake that says “f*ck fossil fuels” - snake is a symbol of Northern American indigenous mythology, particularly prophesied by the Lakota, about pipelines desecrating sacred sites and poisoning the earth.

Y'all, maybe (just maybe) the reduction of every terrible idea and rancid bigotry into mere "personal differences" and "deeply-held beliefs" to endlessly "have a conversation" over was really bad and paved the way for fascism. Maybe the way out involves rejecting that.
