RIP Tony Fitzpatrick. Taught me so much about what it means to love a place so much that you become one with it. A truly singular Chicago artist.

A vibrant collage by Tony Fitzpatrick features a peregrine falcon with architectural elements and bold text related to Chicago.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

What an absolute treasure Diane Keaton was. Her wit never tired, nor did her style.

“And we watched him jump rope, which he must do according to some music in his head, very beautiful and gleaming and far away, like a boy saint helplessly dancing and seen through the steaming windows of a storefront church.”

Never in my remember-able life have I ~not~ been transfixed & delighted (w/ fetishistic intensity) by the ritual of fans running on the field after a baseball clincher

Now I see: asking Why? is like asking children dancing (to quote Baldwin, “helplessly” dancing) in a field at night, Why?

Go Ms

Maybe they will?

I have a very specific and selfish reason for asking: I want a copy!

Let us always embrace any ritual or gathering or performing that can turn us, helplessly, into children dancing in the night.

It is interesting.

Obviously, if two teams play each other five times, one is guaranteed to win at least three of those games, by maths.

A playoff structure that simulates regular season structure would be something like a series of round robins, eliminating the two poorest rr records after each…

Can anyone in Seattle/King Co./Pierce Co. confirm whether there’s a print edition of today’s Seattle Times which includes coverage of the Ms Game-5 win? A few counties south, there’s just an edition of the Saturday paper which went to press before the game was over.
