Hey all, my son’s 6mo-old step-sister was diagnosed with a rare liver #cancer last week. She started chemo today. We are raising money to help defray lost wages and medical expenses for her mom. Any help, even a boost helps! #MutualAid #GoFundMe #PediatricCancer

I feel like more people should skate to Kpop, even just during galas.

Apparently today is the 31st anniversary of the first internet radio broadcast. The pace of technology really is terrifying sometimes. Amazing though.

The world is bleak right now, but there is still a lot of love in it. You just have to look, it might be right in front of you. Find it and hold onto it, it’ll get you through the bad days. 💚🥰 #Cats #CatFamily

Anyway. I hope you’re all voting today. I voted on Friday since I knew I wouldn’t have the opportunity today. All that was on our ballot this year was returning our local utilities to local control from state control. Which is big for us locally. Maybe you have something locally life changing too

I dunno why wanting kids to have food is so controversial and radical.
"Kids should eat" isn't a wild outlandish wish.
Sigh

One of my special interests is Ancient Egypt, particularly the New Kingdom. Today is the 103rd anniversary of the discovery of probably THE most famous tomb of Egyptian Royalty (maybe second most famous, hard to decide if Giza’s Great Pyramid is more famous). King Tutankhamun.

Fascism really is here at the Federal level. You are living through that if you are in the U.S. It's really actually happening. Figure out how to band with others to help make it through.

Out on patrol. ICE very active on the far North Side including Edgewater and Lincoln Square. Multiple abductions. Vulnerable folks should get off the street if they can. Street vendors should be bought out, landscapers warned. If you’re in Chicago and you’re not ICE watch trained, pls get trained.

@amisamileandme.bsky.social I have just learned that YOUR MOON LOOKS DIFFERENT THAN IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE, and logically this should not surprise me so much, but my brain has been forcibly rewired and I cannot get over it.

I always love when Isabeau does a Classic Old School skate because she always channels Silver Screen Movie Star impeccably and it’s a delight. I’ll be excited to see this program at the Olympics!! #GPFigure

Mone Chiba is always a delight to watch, and this program is no exception. It’s a cheesy retro program but she made it feel fresh. And very clean too! and her little witch hat is adorable in the Kiss & Cry! And a new SB!! Good for her!! #GPFigure

My first time seeing Sarah Everhardt skate and she has me immediately interested because I’m a sucker for a Riverdance program. Feels like she was underscored tonight, but maybe I’m just biased. #GPFigure

Fuck Peacock with a rusty spork. The ONLY reason I pay for Premium is so I can watch figure skating live on my big tv or my laptop. On 2 separate occasions during this Grand Prix it has refused to stream properly. Just. Never will start. Today was just a blank screen. AND I still get ads!!

Hey library folk libraries are often the first place people go to find out where they can get help. With the SNAP suspension looming creating a list of local food pantries and other organizations that may be able to assist is one way we can help out vulnerable patrons! This is one I made:

The problem with young people today actually lies with older people who believe that any number of things now are just as easy to do with a low paycheck as they were back before prices rose & salaries stagnated.
Purchasing an occasional treat is not to blame for people's finances being in freefall!
