Proud Illinoisan. Foreign language teacher.

Down with the traitor; up with the star.
Happy Prairie Week, Illinois!

So glad to visit Goose Lake Prairie today!

I would say that we should bring this back, but I worry that we couldn't sustainably harvest enough trees to print the book.

By "gang," he means he saw black people driving.

These people are wilting flowers who need their smelling salts of the world ever stops looking like their Leave It to Beaver fever-dream fantasies.

A good first haul from the Illinois State Fair. #Illinois

I'm a simple guy with simple interests. Happy opening day of the Illinois State Fair!

Feels fortuitous finishing this book today (a signed copy, no less). Good luck to @jbpritzker.bsky.social in doing what so few have been able to do in Illinois history: be elected to a third term.

I'm at Gov. Stratton; no one tell me how it ends!

Crossing "Attend a day of session" off my 2025 bingo card!

While I don't agree with my Representative on all her votes, I'm glad to watch the action.

If millennials have to live through a dust bowl reboot, so help me.

If the background of the portrait is an indication of the accomplishments one achieves in their tenure, Rauner's is perfect. #twil

Illinois can still have a cool flag, if the Flag Commission has the courage.

Happy Thanksgiving from Mocha and Chai. Hopefully you, too, can lounge around and fall asleep in weird places today!

Fran Drescher needs to scoop this man up for a gay remake of The Nanny.

You can't tell me he wouldn't make a great Mr. Sheffield, or a stunning Fran for that matter.

I see people mocking this as 'cringe,' but honestly I think elected officials and government workers could be doing a lot more of this, but in the opposite direction. We have to show people, using media they consume, how the government is working *for* them.

Seeing The Gettysburg Address in Lincoln's own hand was truly a top life moment for me.
