Sorry guys, I brought on this second flurry because I thought it was safe to shovel early

Families were making their way to the neighborhood Halloween parade being held two blocks away from this tear gassing. This is life in Chicago these days

Oh cool, we're at this point already, huh

So engrossed in the beauty of the lakefront trail on a day like this that I totally missed the turn to the nature museum. (My three-year-old was less entranced)

As inspired as I am by the way my neighbors have been stepping up in AP, hearing that people in the incredibly normie suburb I grew up in chased out the Feds honestly gives me more hope that we’ll ultimately win this fight

Relatedly: literal moonshot

Anyway, enjoy this incredible mural they’ve painted on the Horner Park mangoneda stand

Just here to share my kid’s total excitement about taking the Tiger line this morning

Oh my god I can’t believe this is the first time I’ve seen this in the 13 years since I dropped out

L: “At least you got lesbianism out of it”

(Tbc, I have zero regrets about my time in grad school – I got a ton out of it and met so many incredible people)

My sister did go downtown and took this great photo – we really need to take those letters down ffs

Heron party at River Park this morning (you can see four in this photo, two night herons and two gray, I think)

Also, fuck ICE

First time at Walking Stick Woods today which has fantastic natural play areas – the kids had a great time. We didn’t see anyone else the whole hour+ we were on the trail. If you’re biking you can get there from a chill section of Central Park Ave just north of Ardmore through Peterson Park #Chicago

Vibes on the North Shore Channel Trail are totally different at night

Caught the tail end of the cherry blossoms in Jackson Park this weekend. Gonna have to keep closer tabs on when they’re peaking next year! #flowerreport

Oh god
