What happens when floodwaters part?
Tiny ecosystems beneath our feet are quietly absorbing years of chemical runoff. These accumulated treatments may have cascading effects through time. This paper is a valuable piece of that puzzle.

My old friend Michael Hurley passed away today. He played in my backyard once, 9/11/93. I played a gig with him and the Hi Risers in Erie Pa. He stayed at our house a few times.
He tried to get me to tour with him.
He was an inimitable artist, one of a kind, always true to himself.
DangI'm soft.

This is where we're at
Cops protecting Capital
Cops suppressing free speech
Cops projecting corporate power
Cops obsequious to a Master
Cops against the People

This new season of America isn't really worth watching. We know where this ends. Usually you have to watch a show till the end to know.

Definitely a F for plot, production, and value.

This is the list of Rape Culture apologists. It includes Cuomo stans and literally people sent to attack me and other survivors for years. I’ve tried to include as many high profile abusers as I can. It is bipartisan on bad people supporting abusers. Block block block.

Now that I'm on the mend, a few more scenes from the #50501 protest in Chicago on Monday.
A photo from a protest at the Bean in Chicago. A person wearing a large coat and hat is standing in the center of the frame, flanked by yellow light at the bottom and two people wearing hats on either side in the foreground. The person in the center is speaking on a bullhorn. Next to them are several signs. The closest on the right reads "the revolution is being televised!" Behind them is a mirror of part of the plaza shown through the Bean. A photo of the backs of two people walking down the street during a protest in Chicago. They're flanked by other marchers or passersby. The person on the left center is wearing a hat, olive colored hoodie, and black vest over the hoodie. The back of the hoodie reads "NO KINGS" in black letters on a red background. Under it is a drawing of the solidarity fist in white on a black background. They're carrying a large backpack over their left shoulder. On the right is a person wearing a "don't tread on me" trans flag on their back and a red hat. To their right is a person wearing a green coat with a grey backpack. The two people in the center of the frame are walking arm in arm. A photo from a Trump protest in Chicago along Wacker Drive across the river from Trump Tower. The letters "TRUMP" on the side of the building are in the center left of the frame. Along the bottom of the frame is a line of people. Many are holding signs. A person in the center of the frame is holding up a white sign with multicolored text that reads "FIGHT FASCISM BE LIKE YOUR GRANDPARENTS" A photo of a tight group of people at a protest on Wacker Drive across the river from Trump Tower in Chicago. Many signs are being held up in the air. In the center of the frame is a yellow sign that reads "IT'S A COUP! STOP! PRESIDENT MUSK." Below that on the right is a sign that partially reads "IF YOU'RE NOT OUTRAGED YOU'RE" before being cut off. On the center left is a cardboard sign that reads "REJECT FASCISM RESIST TRUMP." The back of the Irv Kupcinet statue is visible behind the yellow sign, and behind that are buildings.

I'm still going through photos from today and working on a few things about the past couple weeks but I love you, Chicago.
A photo of a protest in Chicago. The person in the center of the frame is wearing a heavy coat with a hood. They're holding a sign that reads "LEAVE THE NICE CANADIANS ALONE, JAGOFFS!" To their right is a person just passing by the camera wearing a heavy blue coat. More people are in the background holding signs. The one just to the left of the person in the center is cardboard and reads "I HATE ILLINOIS NAZIS."

Now: a few hundred protesters lining Wacker Drive across the river from Trump Tower in Chicago.

Two groups marched from two different locations (The Bean, Fed Plaza) here. Somewhere around 500 folks chanting "Trump and Musk have got to go!"

The parents are willing to have an incredibly "invasive" heart transplant surgery but not vaccines that would not just protect her but also everyone around her at the hospital who would also be immunocompromised 🤦🏻‍♀️😔 I wish we could hear from her what she wants. #MakeItMakeSense

she is an intercountry #adoptee from China; she has two heart conditions and she requires a transplant; her hospital will not approve the transplant until her adopters agree to her receiving flu and COVID vaccines, which they adamantly refuse to do.

She is in heart failure.
