“A lot of people are looking to Chicago right now, because the work we’re doing—the work you’re doing, if you’re wearing a whistle, protesting in the streets, practicing mutual aid, or responding to ICE alerts—is helping people around the U.S. imagine a meaningful response to the threats they face…”
My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."
In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together
"Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

Oh no. Olivia Tremor Control's Dusk at Cubist Castle is a masterpiece & I still listen to their music. I saw OTC/E6 bands lots back in the day. So joyous. Will was a lovely guy. RIP 💚 🏰https://www.stereogum.com/2289129/elephant-6-olivia-tremor-control-co-founder-will-cullen-hart-dead-at-53/news/

As VP of Tudor horse man show bluesky, may i add to president Bree’s description that MLJ is very CW coded in the best ways, and it features Rob Brydon and Anna Chancellor being *terrible* people in the most entertaining possible way 🐴💚
My Lady Jane on Amazon Prime. It is "what if Lady Jane Grey lived in a Tudor england torn apart by Shapeshifters vs Humans instead of Catholics vs Protestants and also it turns out her husband turns into a horse"

it is unhinged and so much fun

It is giving me life to see people w shitty, harmful views ethered by blocking. What they refuse to accept: they can’t force people to respect them.

They can pay or at times grimly coerce people into *pretending* to respect them. But they cannot *make* people *truly* respect them.

Get lost! Bye!

I met a bison today at Midewin Tallgrass Prairie in IL. On the site of a former armory, they are restoring prairie and have introduced bison. I love my large adult bi son so much

Since today is Halloween, this is the last horror film in my recommendation list. It's also the newest one, a harrowing French contamination film shot in real time and one take. You can find it on Shudder.

I love and appreciate Aaron’s work.
A little more than a decade ago I started freelancing full-time. I was mostly solely writing then but now I'm mostly shooting photos or doing video work. I'm still amazed and feel so very lucky and humbled that I get to do this. I've got something of a portfolio here:
