Evanston, IL

The crowd was large, the mood was upbeat, inflatable characters were everwhere. #NoKings in Evanston, IL.

From a user on Threads, where a video shows them lined up. This ought to be an interesting day (as long as you don't have to actually go anywhere in Chicago)

I hope whatever cuts are ahead spares the person in charge of the TSA Threads account (plus...could they move over here, please? If they’re here, I haven’t found them yet).

This weekend’s escape: celebrating the Feast of St. Nicholas with “Bishop Nicholas” (at St. Nicholas Church). Happy to hang out with him in the 4th century for a while!

Who remembers Hipstamatic? It makes Instagram filters look like child’s play (and managed to give me a few hours of fun this weekend, editing random photos still on my phone). Sunday amusements….

James Baldwin never disappoints. Reading Nobody Knows My Name now. If you don't have time to read it, @mariapopova.bsky.social pulls out some great passages at www.themarginalian.org/2016/05/09/j...

I spent the morning out looking for beauty, too. It's overcast here and the leaves have mainly fallen, but if you looked carefully...it's there.
