so, this weekend the great Dr. Demento did his final show. I could write a lot about the importance of his show to me & my friends when we were 12 and 13. there's more to it than "he played funny stuff" and "his show is where @alyankovic.bsky.social got his start." 1/3

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

this is absolutely wrong and also absolutely hilarious

?someone must’ve taught this to the teacher at some point, right? or maybe the teacher was trolling the teens)

It's been over a dozen years but every now and then I think about how my 11th grade English teacher told me I couldn't submit my short story for an assignment cause the story took place over like 6 months. She said short stories can only take place in a short period of time, like a few hours.

Today is the 154th anniversary of the end of the Great Chicago Fire, and the beginning of Chicago’s “Regeneration,” the title of this sculpture by Henry Hering on SE Du Sable Bridge bridgehouse at Michigan & Wacker. The I Will Maiden personified Chicago’s energy. We will need that energy again soon.

Bas relief sculpture showing the I Will Maiden, a Greek Goddess of sorts, in armor, a cape, and flowing skirt; in one hand she holds rolled up blueprints for, presumably, new buildings; other hand wields a carpenter’s square. She has a tiara on as well; she treads on an unhappy dragon (the Fire?) beneath her sandals. She is flanked on each side by muscular tradesmen rebuilding the city.

See first picture alt text. Closeup of the I Will Maiden.

Heidi Kitrosser @heidikitrosser.bsky.social · 1d

Just started reading the written opinion by Judge Perry in the Chicago nat'l guard case. Jeebus, the basic record facts are startling. As Perry recounts them, the protests were uneventful UNTIL the feds showed up & then all hell broke loose. Opinion here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Screenshot from a page of the opinion. I've highlighted the following two portions:

On September 12, there were between eighty and one hundred protestors present outside
of the ICE Processing Center singing, chanting, and holding small musical instruments. Id.
Around 10:00 a.m., twenty to thirty federal agents parked across the street and walked toward the
ICE Processing Center in camouflage tactical gear with masks covering their faces, which
represented a “noticeable shift” from the way agents had previously approached the building. Id.

and

Throughout the rest of the day, the crowd chanted, and some
individuals stood in the driveway to the ICE Processing Center. Id. ICE intermittently grabbed
those people to move them physically out of the driveway. Id. ICE agents eventually gave a
dispersal order through a loudspeaker, threatening to deploy chemical agents if the protestors did
not leave. Id. Approximately twenty to thirty minutes later, ICE deployed tear gas and pepper
spray at the crowd. Id

WGN, this woman’s employer, is now reporting she was not charged with any crimes and was released.

DHS said earlier she was arrested for assault for throwing objects at agents.
