Before this breaks containment: I got this from a @prisonculture.bsky.social post, I'm not a local. Listen to locals abt Chicago, and make sure to talk to people in your own communities if you want to start doing this too.

There are whistle package assembly nights all over the city this week. Most also have Amazon wish lists so that you can contribute supplies. The whistles are proving effective in alerting people to either flee if they need to or gather to protect if they have that privilege to do so

Informational flyer about Rogers Park Whistle Protocols, explaining how to use whistles to alert neighbors of emergencies, with color-coded alerts, steps for use, and encouragement to form a crowd and stay loud for safety.

Generative AI, in both form and content, and whether looked on favourably or critically, seems to embody a collective hopelessness about the prospect of human learning and creativity, if not human knowledge altogether. It’s as if climate change had fans.

Everytime I see it, I get the sinking feeling that it won't take much to make it much less funny.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

I have zero fucking sense of humor about this rfk shit. besides the obviously gross misreprestation/othering/etc of autistic people it's catastrophic from any sound scientific POV. any doctor who consults governmental guidelines for anything at all under this admin is guilty of malpractice

The best part of Use of Weapons is when Zakalwe wants to write and does blackout poetry because he thinks that's what all poetry is.

Well, he responded at least

Seems like if the administration is treating their national guard-backed deportation program as a war then maybe the rest of us should treat it as such.

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · Sep 6

if i had the opportunity to ask a question of anyone in the administration, given this "war in chicago" messaging, i would ask them how many americans the president intends to kill in his war

the thing is if you have a six hour day for eight hours pay & full employment you now have time to enjoy walking your dog. to cook yourself something at leisure. to enjoy taking care of your dwelling. the answer isn't magic robots. it's unions, it's workers getting the means of production
