ICE has been crawling all over the neighborhood where I work, and today these fascists were in the neighborhood where I live, on my street.
Chicago is and has always been stronger than fascism. Our neighbors stand in solidarity!

Means "do it."
Thanks for your understanding. I will (continue) using it.

Our government left us high and dry and now CTA faces 40% cuts. This is going to do massive damage to Chicago's economy, and the rest of the state as a result.
But we can stop it! Fight for public transport in Chicago!!

CTA service cuts are real as hell...get plugged in! — Better Streets Chicago
Legislators failed to pass legislation before May 31st to prevent 40% service cuts on CTA, Pace, and Metra – and they need to hear that YOU want them to save transit NOW.

Hot take for #ttrpgs. LGBTQ+ designers are responsible for most of the innovation in the hobby I've cared about in the last 20 years. We should encourage LGBTQ+ publishers not just because of social marginalization…but also because the hobby keeps benefiting, tremendously, from queer creativity.

I purchased decaf cold brew without knowing and had been suffering for the last two days thinking "oh, I'm ill! Gen Con caught up with me!" or "ahh the air pressure, it is awful!" or "ah I have wrecked my sleep schedule."
No, it's just my caffeine dependency, crying out.
