Women’s bodies be like “first we’re gonna punish you for being able to give birth, then we’re gonna punish you for every month you don’t give birth, then we’re gonna punish you for having a baby, then we’re gonna punish you for no longer being able to have babies. And then you die.”

Thank you for so many strong essays, poems, ideas, stands, principles, examples, Wendell Berry. Thank you for loving the land, the country, the language. Thank you for living your principles. Quoted you in my talk yesterday, pulled these from my quotes collections.

If you want to go on a little pastry adventure, now's a great time to do that because Chicago is definitely experiencing a bakery boom. Dan the Baker, Fat Peach, so many more.

For less touristy things, go to the neighborhoods. Andersonville has a large LGBTQ+ community, you could hit up Women & Children First, Lost Larson bakery, check out the many little shops.

For kids stuff, you can go to the beach if your kids might like that. Oak street beach would be close to you. Lincoln Park Zoo would be easy to get to on the train as well. Maggie Daley Park/Millenium Park/ the bean are all in the same area as well.

a square collage of four black & white photos of me, wearing a Nightmare Before Christmas fair isle cardigan. I am holding a small glass with a tiny amount of liquid in it and making a succession of increasingly stunned, revolted faces, laughing hysterically at just how bad it tastes

I can't respect a person whose son, daughter-in-law, and 2 grandkids died in a tragic accident not even a year ago who decides to run for governor. (Especially after getting his ass handed to him the first time around, and the results will be the same this next time around, too).
