I immediately shared this with N because we’re seeing it in a couple weeks 😆

However, reheating this burger and fries in the toaster oven yielded much better, if slower, results than the microwave.

Our microwave died and trying to shop for a new one is infuriating. I have a headache.

I’m not trained for the rapid response yet so I’m not getting alerts and didn’t know that they were all over my immediate neighborhood including a block from my house today and I hate those motherfuckers so much.

Chicago solidarity is giving an extra gallon of juice to a neighbor, then talking to her about rapid response and both of you tearing up about how awful things are but how great it is that so many people are willing to help.

Me normally: all chicago drivers are insane and should have their keys taken away

Me when drivers are driving aggressively following ICE: hell yeah

Heartening to see Chicago drivers finally contributing to society

Ah yes, we must not allow that notoriously terrible sound of joyful children and music for the 3 seconds you'll hear it as they pass.

God damn my fellow Karens are not making it any easier for our name to stop being used as an insult.

Screenshot of a bsky video post from @coachbalto.bsky.social with a video of a bike bus featuring musician Benson Boone. The reply from a user named Karen reads "I hate to be That Guy, but could we PLEASE NOT 'blast music' when we ride through residential neighborhoods and parks, where people are trying to enjoy peace & quiet?

Please don't swap the noise pollution of cars with different noise pollution."

A lot has happened since then and it's all equally terrible and I know these things take time to hit the popular consciousness but I wish at least people would mention "oh hey this was a month ago, there were no consequences for the ICE agents, and this stuff continues to happen nearly daily!"

I'm both glad that the video of the pastor getting shot in the head with a pepper ball in Bridgeview is gaining traction, and seriously annoyed because this happened a month ago and where were y'all (mainstream media, large following accounts, virality in general) then?

Ugh I was worried about this area, there are often day laborers waiting at that gas station on the corner.

(shared with permission) ICE/CBP has been active on Chicago's northwest side this morning—and also met with rapid responders.

Agents reportedly abducted one man from this Dunkin at Belmont and Milwaukee around 9:30am before speeding off.

I remember how, when the Nazis marched into France and demanded that the French police help them round up Jews, they did so with absolutely no hesitation.

The Fraternal Order of Police is on the side of MAGA and against the people they are supposed to be "policing." I think this says a lot to the people who insist local police are going to be "resistance."

It’s been quite amazing to watch people call on CPD (of all entities) to fight on behalf of the oppressed. There is a reason why we don’t see police leading revolutions. They are a function of the state and will give deference to the feds, as required by law. youtube.com/shorts/WDHFe...

Can local police arrest ICE?

Looks like possibly a cyclist hit at Belmont and Hamlin this morning. Bike was on ground on other side of police. #bikechi

3 of 8 8-oz servings down (for tonight, have to get up at 4am to drink the second half) and despite a little nausea, drinking the prep isn’t as bad as I thought. Holding my breath while I drink cold prep liquid through a straw and following with a swish of Gatorade means I don’t taste it at all.

It’s highly annoying that NWM sends all their prep instructions as a message in mychart, not even a PDF I can download, so I have to re-login to mychart every time I want to check the details of very long, very specific instructions (and we all know your girl is a rule follower, so that is often).

It’s really excellent! I think @lizzyisi.bsky.social turned me onto it, but it’s not always available at my local Jewel. Whenever I do see it, I pick it up.

Also very grateful for Better Than Bouillon no-chicken flavor, this is soooo good right now.

“Might strongly consider” are you fucking kidding me

Perry: "If I were the government, I might strongly consider taking a pause on this until Thursday, so that we are not in a position where we are doing a full-fledged hearing with whatever has happened."
