RIP writer James Baldwin, died this day 1987.

❄️ Winter weather is on the way! Salt enhances safety and helps with icy conditions, but excessive salt use can also harm our local water environment, fish, wildlife, insects, bodies of water, soil, and the paws of our four-legged friends. 🐕 🐈 🐢🐟 🦅🦝🐾

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Why do so many drivers seem surprised when they approach a stop sign as if they don’t know most Chicagoland streets have a stop sign at every intersection?

You ever think about just about everybody is *really* good at something and much of it is timing and exposure like parents enrolling them at the right time for the kid to take it up and end up among the best?

The city of Broadview and its leaders should understand if you’re going to allow government agencies outside of your municipal operation, it will open up “outside” protesters. Are we only suppose to protest within our community even if it’s a county, state, or federal agency?
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?
