Skating, poetry, politics, history, gardening, Chicago, random. I make art. Antifa's girlfriend.
Pinned
Ten million souls, a single voice
Responding to the call
No matter what they do to us
Tyrants always fall
On this the history is quite clear
Hope is the antidote to fear
Ten thousand thousand marching here
They cannot stop us all
I just want to thank #birdsky for this morning! So many wonderful pictures. Have a poem about a bird:

just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management.

remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.
What Tom Holland’s historic lip-sync showcase taught us about stormwater management

I just found out my daughter makes pastitio*, which Iearned to make from mother, who learned it from her mother, who learned if from her mother and, I'm sure, on back through time. My heart is full.

I do not understand Alissa Liu fandom. She's sloppy, she's entitled, all her jumps are cheated and she gets away with it, she couldn't be bothered with new programs (also I detest that music), and she doesn't own a gd'd hairbrush.

Top 5 movie genres are:

Movie I will sit all the way thru in a theater
Movie I will leave 30 minutes in at the theater
Movie I will watch all the way thru on streaming service
Movie I will watch for 5 min streaming
2 hours spent looking for a movie I can tolerate on 14 different streaming services
Top 5 movie genres are:

An important cultural artifact is, has been, or will be stolen!
Movie is fine but the soundtrack absolutely slaps
The Mummy
French farce where everyone speaks very quickly
High-production value, award-seeking period piece
Top 5 movie genres are:

heist
intelligence/espionage thriller
pitch perfect
cerebral ensemble oscar fodder drama

Kevin Aymoz! Best Costume Best Outcome #SkateAmerica

Slim threw up on the sheets, forcing me to 1. make the bed on a Sunday (yes I am a person who also makes the bed, except Sundays) 2. Wash the damn sheets and 3. change the sheets my absolute 100% least liked chore in the world. She is very lucky she looks like this:

Peac*ck apparently figured out that you could fast forward through the ads on the #SkateAmerica replay because you can't do it today.

I work in theater but I have to say I really want to work for a theater with the budget to save the most fabulous costumes of the production for nothing but the curtain all. #12thNight hashtag jealous (omg it's so amazing)

Can't recommend enough watching #SkateAmerica in the replay for maximum ad- and J/T-avoidance.

Love me a good 70 degree day in the middle of November.

I count it as a well-curated follow list that my entire "Popular With Friends" feed this morning is a non stop paean to Alice Wong.
November 15, 2025 at 2:30 PM
This #SkateAmerica coverage is unbearable. Here's hoping the post the replays at least so I can watch without the fucking ads and stupid commentary.
November 15, 2025 at 12:24 AM
It's unbelievable. Peacock is really not going to stream most of #SkateAmerica live. wtaf.

Post a bird to support @sbworkersunited.org and warn your followers not to buy Starbucks for the duration of the ULP strike.

This 40-reply-long email thread and its six 15-reply-long auxiliary threads could have been a meeting.
November 14, 2025 at 3:38 PM
Unless Peacock is planning to post the world feed at the last minute I guess I just won't be watching #SkateAmerica at all. I don't need the fucking Johnnie and Tara show along with cherry-picked after-the-fact recaps of the skaters they consider important. So pissed about this.

Today "Siri," which I have never activated, found out that my plumber and my boss have the same first name, added my plumber's contact info to my boss's record and would not let me use my boss's phone number-- went straight to plumber every time

Every. Bowl. Is. Full.

But Slim must have food in the special way.

What is the special way?

No one knows.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.

It's not a "scandal." It's a crime.

Can someone make sense of Peacock's #SkateAmerica schedule? Free Dance & Women's Free concurrent with Rhythm Dance and Pairs Free at 1 on Saturday, and four hours BEFORE the women's short etc? None of the scheduling makes any sense.
