Goals and ambitions may become impossible to achieve. Timelines and hopes for the future may be derailed. At scale, college sexual abuse is a systemic force to prevent women and marginalized victims from having the same opportunities, health, and happiness as predominantly male perpetrators.

I've bird dogged way too many politicians to be afraid to yell at the assholes that go off trail in Sequoia National Park. It's even better because my dad joins in and yells at them too.

I don't know if I've ever seen political advertising like this at a gas station before. Here's where it leads: chevronadvocacynetwork.com/california-e...

An ad at a gas station that says Sacramento policies did this. Now you pay more. California politicians are choosing foreign oil and fuels over local jobs and lower costs. The image is a blue car wrapped in a gas tank nozzle

Shriller in the top right, clearing all seven letters from my hand and hitting the triple word score twice. I couldn't believe it when my dad opened up an E like that.

Woke up surrounded by grandeur.

Taken from the Awahnee Hotel in Yosemite Valley, the sun rising on Glacier Point. It's a beautiful mountain with a few warm notes of light where the sun is hitting, with albine trees between me and the mountains

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

Aldermen: Riley O’Neil died a preventable death. We can’t cut funding for safe streets.

The number of fatal crashes on Chicago roadways remain stubbornly high because of a lack of committed action.

In today's Chicago Sun-Times: A new report published today shows food insecurity is growing in Chicago. This comes as fewer people in Illinois are receiving SNAP, one of the largest food assistance program, amid federal changes to the program. More here: chicago.suntimes.com/health/2026/...

New report finds 35% of Chicago households don’t have sufficient food

The Greater Chicago Food Depository and NORC at the University of Chicago surveyed Chicago residents this summer, finding that food insecurity is particularly pronounced on the city’s South Side.
