I'll tell you what, I just spent a bunch of money on Bandcamp Friday and it went directly to the artists and it was worth every penny. Wound up with some great albums. No one needs Spotify.

I worked at a Toys r Us in the late 80s. One Black Friday weekend was all I needed to know: if you've got four days off, spend them with your loved ones. To hell with shopping for shit no one needs.

Next tattoo. Chicago is brave, diverse, and needs no permission to open its doors to those ready to call it home. I've lived here many years, and in spite of all of the other places I've lived, it has always been my one true home. I am very proud of my city in 2025.
