my college philosophy class is having me read about puppygirls

There are gender-nonconforming people, non-binary people, cross-dressing people, people who feel they are half squirrel or puppy or centaur and every other possible iteration of gender-difference.

Chicago was named the Best Big City in the U.S for the 9th time in a row by Condé Nast! Through thick and thin I'm forever proud to call this city home ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶

The distant St. Regis hotel skyscraper is in the distance, while autumnal grasses and wildflowers are out of focusing the foreground at Northerly Island.

Steve is fine/uninjured. Some neck pain from being tackled.

His biggest concern while in custody was what was happening to people outside the facility since he couldn't hear any of the munitions from inside.

In typical Steve fashion, he also made a number of new friends while detained.

@yourstorymatters.bsky.social has been doing phenomenal work OTG in Chicago (mostly over on Instagram), documenting assaults on the press and protesters. Last night a needed lens disappeared in the chaos.

If you picked up this Sigma, get in touch!

Unfortunately, within the craziness of everything that was yesterday at the Broadview ICE facility my telephoto lens was taken. I don't know when or how

If somehow someone found it yesterday let me know. I don't have the funds to replace it.

"All of these actions were manifestations of love bound up in refusal. We refuse to go about our normal lives...while our beloved neighbors are stolen. We are living in opposition to fascism...and we are doing it the only way we can—together."

As ICE continues to terrorize Chicagoland, protesters gathered this morning outside the Broadview detention center—throwing stuffed animals at DHS agents, playing music through tear gas assaults, and putting their bodies on the line to stop ICE vehicles. My latest.
