I tried to sneak out for a walk this afternoon between thunderstorms. Dear reader, I did not make it.

Was trying to figure out why all these older orthodox folks walking by while I watered my front garden this morning were giving me dirty looks. I forgot this was my outfit 😂😂
the only video worth rescuing from my deleted twtter
One really excellent thing happened today- my favorite cocktail bar in Chicago, Ward Eight, whose owners are amazing and @theironkurtain.bsky.social , @adamcr.bsky.social and I have become good friends with, offered to sponsor our gala cocktails for our event next month! They’re so generous! 🥹🥹🥹

This is truly heartbreaking. Dolly Parton was an extraordinary person and an irreplaceable champion of the working class. We are a better country because of her.
Every day, and in every way, it should have been him (and his monstrous allies). Her light will never be dimmed.
Ranch Devereaux@thejacko.bsky.social · last wk.Yes, it should have been him over Dolly. But let’s be real, it should have been him over LITERALLY anyone. Him over the guy who died from fentanyl on the street. Him over 103 year old Ethel passing away in the nursing home. Him over that squirrel that got hit by a car.
Dolly Parton wasn’t just a “celebrity”. She was a beacon of light, that a lot of older rich people lose to greed. She spoke out, used her wealth for good, propped up others. She was the example for us all but especially white people. She understand her privilege and wanted to make a difference.
It wasn't just that she was a great songwriter, that she was a great singer, that she nurtured/supported generations who came after her in the music industry, it was how she constantly returned the blessings back to her rural community and helped countless kids become literate. That's just the tip

So much I haven’t seen yet! Crossing one more off my list this next month at least!
Adam@adamcr.bsky.social · last wk.Some work to be done… 🤔
That bizarre moment when, after a whole day of cars driving by, construction work outside, birds chirping, cicadas losing their minds, you walk passed your open window and realize it’s -completely silent- outside. Not even a plane overhead (our house is under a major flight path) 😵💫

This is a very impressive documentary about the massive waste of ICE flights, produced by a local news team from Seattle. Sucks that more people haven't seen it.

Today, @adamcr.bsky.social and I are excited to share our news, we’re whatever-the-poly-version of engaged is 🥰 haha, we may not have a word for it, but I’m so excited that I’ve met not one, but two people on my life I want to make a commitment to. Our family keeps getting more beautiful 🥰🥹

Hey Chicago and Midwest queer folx! I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m so dang excited that this year the LGBTQ+ nonprofit I help manage is having its first gala in its 45 year history! We preserve the queer history of the Midwest region, so import especially in this timeline. I’d love it if you..

We honestly don't witness very many situations in 2026 where the good guys don't just win, but they windmill dunk on evil and make it very funny at the same time.

I hope this man never knows a night of comfort and sleep again for the rest of his life. As a Latino person I’m horrified to see my own people participating as enforcers of this Nazi regime, race traitors!
unraveled@unraveledpress.com · 2w agoThank you to everyone sharing this story. We can only presume this agent will return to Chicago soon. Quite a lot that had to be left out for brevity's sake, but of note: he has repeatedly called the agents working with him "my guys," definitely indicating he's some kind of team lead.
