Full of whimsy, but with a heaping scoop of existential dread. Lucky to live in my favorite city...Chicago.

Stay strong. For us, this is more than just a job-it’s a calling. Together, we will stand to protect our parks, environment, and wildlife. Four years… we remain hopeful that the attack on our public lands will be less brutal this time.

Terry Pratchett's "Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socio-economic unfairness". The best quote I've ever read about why being poor can be so expensive.

Art class should never stop being a thing. Like if right after lunch we all got to go down to the basement for an hour, throw on a smock, and make collages out of old magazines while somebody's eccentric, slightly witchy aunt tells us how great we're doing, I feel like we'd all be in a better place.

How clean is the Biden admin? No political appointee of Biden's was indicted or convicted of a crime. And no cabinet officials resigned following accusations of impropriety.
That's a remarkable ethical achievement for a presidential administration.

Number of Indictments and Convictions of Biden White House Appointees: Zero | Washington Monthly
The Biden administration is one of the most ethical, least criminal federal administrations in history.

This is a truly sobering. A new report by UN Women finds that of the 85,000 women killed by men in 2023, 60% died at the hands of a partner or family member.
Pay attention to the signs.
Believe women.

This is the content I want on my socials. My inability to justify the purchase of a jam advent calendar is made better by vicarious consumption.
Bonne Maman Advent Calendar Day 1: Quince Spread. Subtler than expected but solid. Not overly sweet or potent, which feels like a deliberately mellow start.

I’m convinced the “do audiobooks count as reading?” argument all derives from those mid-90s summer reading pizza challenges.
Folks - we’re all in our 30s and 40s now. It’s no longer a competition.
Go buy your favorite pie with your adult money and let people enjoy books however they want.

Well, isn’t that convenient? Musk gets named to the fake department of DOGE, and suddenly NASA’s future is up for debate—just as SpaceX is poised to cash in. Funny how “efficiency” seems to mean redirecting public funds straight into private pockets.

New weekend goals
I don't know who needs to hear this, but if all you accomplish this weekend is reading a riveting novel cover-to-cover whilst drinking multiple kettles of tea and consuming a scandalous amount of croissants, then you will have accomplished more than enough.
