jokes about the confederacy are always funny, but you gotta think about it in terms of "Supernatural lasted 5x longer than the Confederacy", which is absolutely hysterical

really need folks to understand how close CDC came to a mass casualty event. i saw all the news photos and was still shocked when i saw the dozens of bullet holes across the windows of HQ offices—including some of senior agency leadership. it is truly a miracle more people weren’t hurt
anyways i routed my morning walk past CDC this morning, and there was a bullet hole in the window by my old cubicle. that was a weird feeling!

I have a free Sunday with no plans so usually I like to get a little ambitious with CTA coffee explorations, but I was too tired from This Week so I decided to try and find something near my neighborhood that I hadn't been to. Got a tasty sandwich and a respectable spot on a park bench.

Roamed Rogers Park today for many tasty eats and a beach walk and a stop at the witchcraft store for an independent bookstore day purchase (lacked the energy for the full crawl itself).

Kinda want to go to ROTS tonight but what if I get stuck with a loser non reactionary audience for what is really a very depressing movie! I want yelling and cheers, not throwing down 40 bucks for a Vader breathing popcorn bucket and sadness.

I wanted to mention this super interesting sounding panel on how writers create a religion - you can attend in person at the library tonight if you're in Chicago, or watch it live on YouTube.

Only the 23-year-olds and fools try to navigate the Red and Brown lines on St Patrick's in Chicago, so I decided to bus it, but those were also full. Then a lost Ukrainian woman wanted to get on the Red line and I was like I can't let you do this alone. At that point? I gave myself over to the day.
