All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

In addition to unloading on demonstrators in Broadview, ICE is now randomly gassing people going about their day on the streets of Chicago

Hi and welcome to the latest surge in new followers! You're probably here because of protest coverage. Or maybe a skeet that made you mad. What to know: we are two indie journalists who report primarily on awful guys ™️. We are also fighting to make reader-supported investigative reporting tenable.

“In fiction, unspeakable things are defanged.” Fragment from a delightful evening with Torrey Peters and Lilly Wachowski. 💉❤️‍🔥

Two black-clad women sit before microphones. One (Torrey Peters) reads from a book entitled STAG DANCE. The other (Lilly Wachowski) chuckles appreciatively.

If you’re in Chicago, a great way to learn more directly about the experience of incarceration - and help people who’ve just experienced it! - is to volunteer for a @chicommunityjs.bsky.social jail support shift! bsky.app/profile/that...

Welp, still no Torrey Peters or Karen Russell, but a solid haul nevertheless.

Four library books fanned out on an old-fashioned radiator. The titles are:

Of all the new habits I’ve developed over the past year, recording my daily bird sightings has to be the nerdiest

Okay, I’m a third of the way through and — after briefly toying with the notion that the narrator is both deeply bitter and very stoned — I now suspect the whole book is a send up of the modern obsession with Serious and Enduring Art. I like this reading better.

fwiw I’m finding this challenging for the same reasons. I feel like if this book had found me ten years ago it would have been my absolute jam, but I’m struggling to care about this guy’s long-simmering beef. The writing is excellent, though.
