Last chance to name a snowplow ‘Abolish ICE’

get over yourself! grow up! the effort it takes to succeed pales in comparison to all the effort you’re already putting into avoidance! stop being a victim and choose to build a life worth living! you only have the present so release yourself of what’s keeping you stuck and get the fuck up!!

so lonely i might end up on the news

in the car on the way to drop me off at the train station my mom asks me “do you know what feltching is?” girl where did you even hear that word i’m so scared

going to my first boots tonight i’m so excited

Call your reps immediately and demand they fully fund and reform transit in Illinois. This is absolutely imperative for the state’s long term economic health and quality of life. As the federal government collapses in on itself we cannot wait. Now is the time for us to define our own future.

It's getting cold. Annual reminder never to plug any sort of heating appliance into a power strip or any extension cord below 12 gauge (directly into the wall is always best). You're only as safe as your dumbest neighbor.

If you still mask & talk about covid I just want to say thank you. It makes me feel less alone as a disabled person. I know it’s mostly disabled people advocating for themselves but most people either abandoned us lot ago or never stood by us. We have to stand together as we always have. 🤎

sherman, for the love of god!

More and more people are getting kidnapped in Chicago everyday. Spaces are getting emptier by the second. People are scared to leave their house. The man who was shot & killed by ICE in Franklin Park was down the street from where my mom works. They’re going to schools. They want to go to our clubs.

Meanwhile, spaces like Fantasy are struggling to get people through the door because they are scared. Noche vaquera, one of the only explicitly Latino nights in boystown, looks entirely different than it did even a month ago. Chicago’s segregation is disgusting and Boystown is not free of it.

People in the complex said they were zip tying kids and they didn't have names or anything. They took you first, then ran to see if you had any outstanding warrants - not just immigration. And the FBI helped them.

it’s butchtober

Miss Major, one of the mothers of the trans liberation movement, has been in the hospital for 10 days with sepsis and a blood clot. She has looked out for us for generations, now it’s time to look out for her. Donate if you can: fundly.com/missmajor

still many unknowns tho.

what will happen to the people detained in Broadview?

where are they moving their operations to, if true?

Sigourney Beaver looks luxurious in new photos.

does anyone know a good place to get like a medium sized jar of kimchi near lakeview

why was fantasy bass boosted tonight

Why are some still spreading misinfo that "masks only work when everyone wears one," & use it as an excuse not to mask as "no-one else is."

It isn't all or nothing. While it's safer when more mask because there's less virus in the air, a well-fitting mask protects you even if no-one else masks.

there are also free covid take home tests in the entryway of the howard brown sheridan 👀

i will never get over this dress

so if it’s the air AND water show what’s the water part are there guys that do flips and shit on military jet skis?

Hey if you’re going to Bump or in fact any Market Days event I am BEGGING you to wear a mask.

DM me if you need help accessing them. We’re in the middle of a summer surge and a COVID wave amongst the Chicago scene, and it is only going to get worse with tourists flooding in.

Was given a shot of tequila during this number and girl it got me TOGETHER now what the hell—
