Girl from the Burgh, made a career in steel. Retired now. Post food, pets & politics. Liberal, if that bothers you-tough. Also petty AF. And: #KHive, always. This is not a dating site. NOT a resister, no automatic follow-back but maybe a Block.
@ektashahmd.bsky.social Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great day.

This thread was what I needed to read this morning. Thank you @ish-not.bsky.social
I’m not a man but thankfully I am married to one (we’re both Black) who would rather choke on a giant ball of dog hair lint than tell me I need to allow men WHO HAVE NOT DONE THE REAL WORK- ”redeem themselves” because this country would rather coddle misogyny/bad behavior than HOLD MEN ACCOUNTABLE.
In order to move men, we have to welcome folks who have done things in the past we abhor. We have to allow folks to redeem themselves.
It’s sometimes uncomfortable, but it’s the only way we can win moving forward.
The math doesn’t math without more men.

Okay, time to get off this app & go wind down with (hopefully) silly TT or reels.

I was a bit concerned to watch live results after the disappointment of 2024. All I can say now is, wow! I'm starting to feel JOY again. VA, NJ, PA, GA, & NYC all giving me hope. Waiting on CA.

My sleep has been so disrupted of late mostly due to what I hate to admit is some level of doom scrolling. My skyrkle here keeps my head above water. Thank you all.

Chicago peeps, my 1st Ward Book Club choice is "The New Chicago Way". Has anyone read or know about this movement? Chicago doesn't have a city charter. Movement is to create one. My understanding is it would take some power from the mayor. I'm curious to read it this week.

Ariella sums up my thoughts on the Maine senate primary perfectly. I read all the information on various candidates & ultimately hope the voters in Maine have the information THEY need to make an informed decision. I also hope Collins is defeated & acknowledge it's up to Maine voters to decide.
A primary is supposed to be the vetting process. Stop anointing Dems before we’ve had a chance to vet them.
I made a post when all the Graham Platner nazi allegations started, saying “LET MAINE DECIDE THEIR OWN ELECTION”
It didn’t go well.

Marches are not as effective as hitting them in the pocket!
I am totally doing this. I'm taking off work, I won't be going to the store, probably won't even be leaving my house. I mean, it's easy for me, but imagine if tons of people did this?
Even if you can't 100% disengage, cutting back by 3/4ths or even half would make a noticeable dent.

Full disclosure, attended the Chicago "pink hat" rally after 2016 election. And, for what? WW continue to vote for these assholes.
I'm torn about attending.
Waffling:
1) I'm 1m from Grant Park, easy walk.
2) There'll be plenty of people there, 1 more isn't big deal.
3) Have friends in targeted groups that shouldn't go, my ⚪️ skin should fight for them.
4) Worried it's just performative.
I'll decide at the last moment.

Thank you @pierceah66.bsky.social for another excellent thread.
Yes, it's long. That's because there's a lot to digest about these times.

Since I defended Rep McBride regarding the NON-BINDING Resolution that I strongly disagree w/ but ultimately view as meaningless because it was a political trap that would have passed either way for that racist podcaster because of how resolutions work, I feel I should expand. This is a long thread.

So much going on, I decided to treat myself to a professional pedicure. Self-care is important to combat all the negative energy around us right now. An hour's respite worth it. BTW, they are playing a mellow, jazzy version of Back In Black & I love it. ☮️
