Enjoy making eye contact with this moray eel while getting manipulated during your clinic visit. (I’m fine, routine maintenance.)

The move marks the second time that state public health officials have broken away from guidance under U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

Organization applying for grant highlighting their unionized workforce as a strength.

Me, remembering how hard they fought unionization: ☕️🐸

Peanut got new booties over the weekend for the extreme cold. She is not a fan.

Chicago's Smart Streets cameras began issuing new fine types for expired meters and parking in bus stops in late October. New cameras have come into rotation as well, to limited use.

Low impact to daily fines issued so far, and a majority of tickets are still warnings.

Our database of over 100,000 reported bike lane obstructions shows business owners themselves use bike lanes as free parking. They know the current system is so broken they will not be ticketed. They also instruct delivery drivers and customers to do the same.

I am thinking of a journal article that I am having trouble finding the source. It’s about hazard & individual capacity. There is a graph of these over time & where the lines converge is where an injury happens. Thought it was a Haddon article.

Does CPD have a hate crimes division? Peanut believes her rights are being violated.

She wants to invoke the Geneva Conventions, but she’s worried that she has never been to Kane County.

College football becoming worse & worse as a metaphor for late-stage capitalism. The broadcasts are obnoxious filled with odious people.

And yet!
And yet.

Here we are yet again for The Game. Go Blue

It is fully sunbeam season now. Her absolute favorite.

Careful when you’re formatting your reference section. The article with a typo might belong to one of the reviewers.

But, a citation win is a win?

Hello, Better Business Bureau? I have a complaint about false advertising.

The Brown Line is now completely broken. A Kimball bound 🟫 is stuck at the Belmont station right before the flyover. Traffic is built up behind it.
It’s bad news bears, kids.

10 years ago today (Figure 1) we brought home a scrawny corgi mix. Peanut truly has made this house a home.

I am no longer in academia, but Ken Bain’s book was impactful on this very young academic. I first read it in a class about teaching at the university level, then used it myself when I was an instructor. Sad to hear that he is gone, but it’s good to know that he’s being so recognized for his work.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

A teenager crossing Dearborn complemented me on my @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social jacket, saying it was “cool.” A 43-y-o can’t ask for much more than that.

Sun beam doesn’t take a day off in the fall. Neither does Peanut

once again posting The Chart

So many people did so much work to get these bills crafted & passed. A huge coalition of statewide work & support for public transit in Illinois.

As a board member for Active Transportation Alliance, I am thrilled that we can partner with a forward-thinking “green” coalition in the state.
