Chicago. Digital Libraries. Walking from all the way hither to all the way yon. First love: Detroit.
Ah… here we go. The bulk carrier Walter J. McCarthy beneath the constellation O’Hare, headed for the northern lights.

Well, as far as auroras go, not a sausage. But I did spot the bulk carrier Walter J. McCarthy. So there’s that.

When you wear a Halloween costume but aren’t having a great day. So you’re just a crabby butterfly, walking around town.

To this day I regret not buying this pot by Norman Red Star featuring a skunk who found a tin can. Man. It’s just unmatched.

People all over the country need to understand that federal agents are not in Chicago to prevent violence – they're in Chicago to cause violence.
(from the inbox) Less than an hour later this morning, just before 10:30 at Roscoe and Harding, feds again released gas as they were driving away, unobstructed, from a relatively small number of neighbors.

Good jaunt along Sacramento Ave.

Happy 154th anniversary on the end of the Great Chicago Fire! Walked the perimeter today, as is my custom.

Metra vista.

Bluesky appears to think I’m a gay man with wide-ranging tastes and who’s only into females if they’re anime characters. And busty.

And Bluesky has a LOT of content for that dude. My alter ego, Mr. Tracy Seneca. Like a quarter of the content on my feed is for that guy.

Chicago has a lot going for it, but it looks like Portland owns the absurd.

63rd and Kostner. I walk here. These are all people that I could easily have seen when I explore the city.
This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

Good morning from the Ragamala, Chicago Cultural Center.

Life really is better if you can get out the door before dawn. Do I act on that? Almost never.
The colors are already starting to turn in the Chicago area. Peak autumn colors are predicted to arrive in less than 3 weeks.

Chicago River swim…

DCASE just confirmed via email that Ragamala is on for Friday the 26th. Details aren’t on the site yet, but yay!
Does anyone know if the Chicago Ragamala is happening this year? Or when? Because in my ideal world I’ll be up all night 9/26, then stagger over to the Hyde Park Jazz Fest in a music-induced stupor.
