Last night & this morning, the headline isn’t about the top-down decision. It’s about the will of the people of Philadelphia. It’s about what the kids of our city deserve, and the path forward, back to an open public museum. Don’t let people in perceived power dictate the story. The power is ours.
Two articles from the Philly voice and CBS, with headlines “academy
Of natural sciences is closed, but the fight for the museum continues” and “protesters push Drexel
To accept funding to keep the museum at academy
Of natural sciences open”

My vacation anti-rain witchcraft (bringing a rain jacket, a poncho, and an umbrella) worked and for my first day back in Chicago--all rain! I found myself talking a lot about the TARP project on vacation. As climate change is starting to really affect every area, I'm grateful Chicago has TARP.

Eddie Johnson saying he never saw any police misconduct and Larry Snelling never having to publicly explain sending a teen to hospital were huge, ignored warning signs.

Have candidates describe how much and what kinds of police misconduct they have observed during their career, if/how they addressed it, if they would choose differently today, and what a Supt should do to address it. +

Dealing with this incident has taken 5+ years, and probably won't conclude this year. We're looking for a new superintendent and I want one holding their officers to the actual written standards instead of giving them a pass on firing at fleeing people.

Sunrise over the lake from Randolph and Michigan. The sun is blowing out the shot, but is still kissing the horizon. The park is dark in contrast and we can see a break water wall and a water crib in the lake.

The main thing Donald wants is to be remembered so Denail and I were talking about appropriate monuments to his presidency. I was thinking something about immigrants but Denail said we've got a small model monument here in Chicago. Just make it bigger and golden.

In my engineering degree I took history of witchcraft because it sounded fun to fulfill one of my history requirements and it was one of my best classes in undergrad, teaching me about feminism and the struggle people have had to be respected. It was good for teenage me to think about that.

I find it infuriating that nations who for decades have profited off the exploitation of immigrant labour, who have indeed engineered the conditions for that exploitation through making the countries of origin nigh unliveable, now dare to turn around and call migrants a drain. Absolutely maddening.

Watched Nimesh Patel's special yesterday, and one bit talked about the level of blatant corruption we've had to accept because none of our branches of government are reining it in. To me, that's why MIWHT resonates -- nothing else seems like it will stop him.

A digital illustration of a version of the big board from Wheel of Fortune. An array of green rectangles (each bearing an icon of a hand with crossed fingers inside a circle with rays), and white rectangles that indicate the letters in the secret phrase contestants are trying to guess. The board is not yet solved and reads like this:

M_YB_ I_
_ILL H_PP_N
__D_Y

Standing next to the board in a shiny pink and maroon evening gown and ready to turn around newly-guessed letters is a woman whose head is a human hand with crossed fingers. 

Below the board in the space where viewers at home are informed what type of  phrase is in play it simply reads ‘PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE’

I'm definitely listening to other folks I respect on how they think we should improve schooling. But it's also interesting applying this to other areas. If we had less people going to parks should we spend less? No. Libraries? No. Jails? Yes, but partly because we should just be spending less on it.

A digital illustration based on a photo of Lori Winston, the June 1964 Playboy Playmate of the Month. The drawing is rendered in heavy pencil outlines and flat planes of color with colored pencil hatching. Lori is shown reclining by the low steps of a swimming pool, leaning back propped up with her arms behind her. One leg is bent and the other fully extended out for the leg enjoyers. She's turning her head toward the camera with a coquetteish tilt and smile. Her auburn hair is gathered up on her head in a distinctly 1960s way. She is wearing a white t-shirt that covers her down to the top of her thighs and no evidence of any other articles altho you could show this to your grandma and she wouldn't blink. Very chaste. In the bottom right corner under one of Ms. Winston's hands is some orange marker-style script lettering reading 'Maybe it will happen today'.
