An image of text from the movie "Monty Python and the Holy grail" which reads: 'We apologize again for the fault in the subtitles. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked.'

Some of my favorite shots of Ravenswood, Chicago. A quiet little town in its own right, right in the middle of the Northside. Neighborhoods like this are why Chicago feels like 70 smaller towns all duct taped together. #urbanism #chicago #fuckcars

People are willingly opting into the panopticon and calling it convenience

Image of a prison with a single guardpost in the middle, called a panopticon. A beam of light represents the guard watching the prisoners through the bars of their cells. Although the guard can't watch anyone at once, the prisoners are nonetheless forced to remain under constant threat of surveillance, with all privacy stripped away by the possibility and inevitability of the prison guard's gaze.

Streeterville, Chicago. This neighborhood really has a way of making you feel small. #fuckcars #urbanism

Every building in Chicago looks like a work of art. We need to make it feasible to build like this again. #urbanism
