I had some cards printed up. These are unlikely to change any minds, but they will defintely shorten some incredibly tedious conversations at the bar. Here's a PDF if you'd like some of your own.

I saw six American kestrels, all sitting in the same tree, this morning at Calvary Catholic Cemetery in Evanston.
14 hours later and my mentions are still full of angry treatises about badly behaved cyclists. Bike lanes are not a reward for good cyclist behavior! They are infrastructure proven to make cities safer for ALL ROAD USERS. Whatever way cyclists have wronged you is irrelevant to the discussion!
Katie Mack@astrokatie.com · 7d agoEvery conversation about bike lanes is like: "Car crashes kill a huge number of people every day, including pedestrians, cyclists, & car occupants. Good bike infrastructure has been shown to make everyone safer (& doesn't increase congestion)." "But sometimes cyclists break rules & hit people!"

A new story in my ongoing reporting on Prairieland, and it's about one of the most chilling things about this case: how the DOJ has attempted to cast ordinary activism as suspect and criminal. And: how supporters of the Prairieland defendants have refused to be broken apart by that.
Trump’s DOJ Tried to Break a Texas Activist Community. It Failed.
Many of the activities used to incriminate the Prairieland defendants—who received extraordinary sentences—are the stuff of ordinary organizing. Their supporters weren’t scared off.

At it's heart it's about familiar moments from modern queer life, and things that might come from rough places in people's history, ultimately leading somewhere joyful and celebratory. And it's very funny. And so very horny, oh my gosh.
Teenage Sex & Death at Camp Miasma opens in theaters tomorrow, so I'm once again here to tell you that it's SO GOOD. It's not a horror movie, there're no jumpscares, the nested movie slasher's kills are all very cartoonish. But if you have a history with slashers I hear there's lots there for you!
