Happy Halloween! Wanted to brag about this costume I’ve spent the last two months on.
Link from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom w/Champion’s Leathers and Hylian Hood.
It turned out better than I could have hoped! So many props to the folks who do cosplay. It’s a lot of work!

It is Breast Cancer awareness month!
I just got back from a life-changing trip with True North Treks, an org focused on young cancer survivors.
Though I have met my fundraising goal, I would love to continue to pay it forward for someone else to go.

Heartbreaking story from this morning. A 9 year old hit & killed while crossing the street in front of their CPS school by another parent.
Will never stop fighting for *citywide* safe streets infrastructure around schools in Chicago. These kids deserve better!

Leapfrogged with this huge bus for two miles down Lincoln Ave. The bike lane is hardly large enough for me in my cargo bike (especially with how drivers act here) and the car lane is definitely not large enough for this tour bus. Wish we had parking protected bike lanes here!
