I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising money—but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…

This is also assuming the photos and footage make it into an archives.

25 years from now, if America and/or academia still exist, someone will be teaching a class about frog symbolism and supervising a dissertation about the role of inflatables in protest culture.

The frogs have landed in Chicago!

Protestor in a frog suit and an anti-Ice sign with what I believe to be a Pokémon character on a street corner in Rogers Park.

That is WAY too much cream cheese!

Plain bagel light on the cream cheese not toasted.

Tell me your bagel order and I will tell you *based on NYC cultural expectations* if you have won or lost your election for political office in NYC.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 1d

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

Yaaay!!

I might try pale blue cabinets to match the base color of the wallpaper, or, alternatively, dark green, but either way make the floor/counters a lighter beige.

That chant is a banger. Now we gotta get it to the front lines on the Portland front, where it can be shouted by someone wearing an inflatable dinosaur suit.

“One of the chants that has become ubiquitous at these protests at Broadview is, ‘Love your neighbor, love your God, save your soul and quit your job,’” said Black, who pastors at the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago. “Everybody chants that.”

The pastors’ efforts are part of rising faith-based pushback to the Trump administration as the president seeks to implement plans for mass deportation of immigrants.
