For a long time I sold books. Now I help people make them.

Likes: Lake Michigan, the library, midwestern architecture, mutual aid, birdwatching, my dog, shoegaze.

Dislikes: Fascism, phonies. 😎

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

In addition to unloading on demonstrators in Broadview, ICE is now randomly gassing people going about their day on the streets of Chicago
Logan Square neighborhood, Chicago. Man wearing a balaclava in a white, unmarked vehicle, pulls the pin on a tear gas canister and tosses it in the road.

If you do what you love and you do it badly you will get better eventually doing it bad enough to be sort of good.

Hi and welcome to the latest surge in new followers! You're probably here because of protest coverage. Or maybe a skeet that made you mad.

What to know: we are two indie journalists who report primarily on awful guys ™️. We are also fighting to make reader-supported investigative reporting tenable.

Earlier this afternoon I had twelve ounces of coffee for the first time in weeks. My whole body is vibrating 🫨

If you’re in Chicago, a great way to learn more directly about the experience of incarceration - and help people who’ve just experienced it! - is to volunteer for a @chicommunityjs.bsky.social jail support shift! bsky.app/profile/that...
Even colder tonight but we had fire, blankets, & camaraderie. And the colder it is the more essential it is to be out there giving coats, rides, snacks, phone calls, and a place by the fire to people just released from jail.

The postal service is under attack, and we need to defend it. Join letter carriers at protests across the country to fight back against DOGE and Elon’s attempts to privatize and destroy the USPS.
