If you can go outside right now and look east in that cold clear November night, you’ll see the moon, just hours away from last quarter, and Jupiter — dazzling in the hard black sky.

I have a cat sound asleep on my lap, and am therefore prohibited from budging. Anyone able to come over and refill my wine glass for me?

I’ve never seen irises blooming in November before (Lincoln Park, near the Zoo)

If you’re in Chicago, a ghostly moon is climbing in the east, faintly visible in a veil of clouds.

Good evening! Please enjoy this #ReliablyShite photo of the waxing gibbous moon as seen from North Dearborn Street in the Brassy End of the Gold Coast.

American kestrel — right here on the Brassy End of the Gold Coast! I watched the fellow perch for several minutes atop a nearby pole in my work-from-home view. I’d heard one a few weeks ago a couple blocks north, never expected to see one, though… Wowsers! #UrbsInHorto

The more you know…
Its itty-bitty paws and long, slender tail took the internet by storm. The imprint of what most thought was a flattened rat was both heart-wrenching and incredibly funny.

But the adoration was based on a mistake. https://wapo.st/4qajClr

Chicago people!
Go outside RIGHT NOW and look south — the waxing gibbous moon is glorious tonight!

I just saw an ICE recruitment advertisement on television. CBS 2 Chicago.
God damn that to hell.

Touch grass, as the saying goes. Look for monarchs in the loosestrife, they’re still here. See the early turning of the leaves.

Chicago people… look to the south, where the moon flirts with a veil of cloud before her face…

As Mr Rogers always, always said: look for the helpers.
Here are the great-hearted helpers, the blessed souls with comfort and love to give:
A group of 6 LCC K9 comfort dogs arrived in Minneapolis yesterday in the wake of the latest mass shooting. The organization deploys comfort dogs following tragic events. The dogs wore their "please pet me vests," offering love and comfort to those processing this heartbreaking tragedy. 15/10 for all
