As part of the #beverlyartwalk on the south side of #Chicago an exhibition of original paintings by Dmitry Samarov paired with text by Keith Lewis, from the upcoming release (Oct) from Broken Nose Books -- Peculiar Wilderness: A Chicago Alphabet -- will be at the Beverly Arts Center! September 26!

Two lines of framed artworks on a green wall. Many of them

Sorry, but why is my feed filled with Amazon wishlists? Fuck supporting that greedy piece of shit company. Fuck these fake progressives who are ok getting free shit from a corporation that is helping to make your lives harder. We're probably only a few years from Amazon schools.

I did it. I boycotted the entire world cup. Infantino is as corrupt POS. The FIFA Peace Prize is a POS. Trump is a POS. I'm sick of people acting like everything is normal. I'm sick of people treating him and everything he does like it doesn't matter. Fire Infantino. Fire Trump.

Revamped the FAIR Fund Chicago website this weekend. Mostly did it to put up the quotes from staff and students from Kipling Elementary, whose school book fair was 100% funded by FAIR Fund Chicago (and your donations). Check them out: fairfundchicago.org/our-impact/

Today was a first for me. I had a student come to me and ask for help because he couldn't read the handwriting of the student whose paper he was copying.

People are figuring out that amazon and Barnes and Noble are absolute shit companies. Independent bookstores have been literally dying trying to tell you this for years. It's time to shift and support the Indies. Good work if you already do.

Not defending the old tweets, but the ADL digs up these old tweets to use against her, but they can't even recognize a Nazi salute when they see one? Musk's salute should still be getting press. I'll never forget it, and the ADL should have called it out.

A screenshot of an article that says New York from AP--one of New York City mayor elects zohran mamdani's appointees has resigned over social media post she made more than a decade ago that featured anti-Semitic tropes momdani's office said Thursday. In a statement Catherine El Monte de Costa who is tapped this week to join the incoming administration said she expressed deep regret for the posts which date back to 2011 and 2012 and were recently shared online by the anti-defamation League. These statements are not indicative of who I am. As the mother of Jewish children, I feel profound sense of sadness remorse at the harm these words of cause she said. Sorry for inaccuracy. I don't use voice recognition. Even that is inaccurate. I do use voice recognition. And for some reason it won't let me edit

Translation: "Netflix hasn't sent me a big enough bribe yet, but when there's a sudden donation to my ballroom and I approve the purchase immediately, that will still not be enough for my MAGA cult to acknowlege my corruption."

Caption says Netflix deal to buy Warner Bros " could be a problem " because of size of market share Trump says. Then there is a picture of Donald Trump's ridiculous face mouth agape and a hand on the side looking like he's trying to fellate a walrus.

"South Koreans Swept Up in Immigration Raid at Hyundai E.V. Plant in Georgia" And this will make South Korea want to continue manufacturing in the U.S. how? And this will make South Korea want to invest in the U.S. how? This administration never sees the big picture. They never make predictions.

AP Language teachers, a great example of a post hoc ergo propter hoc logical fallacy. Just because Sydney Sweeney's niche film floppe after the american eagle ad controversy doesn't mean it was the cause, as this headline from huffpost seems to imply. I didn't read the article because I don't care.

I still miss Paul Sherwen as Phil Liggett’s partner. The way he talked about the scenery, sights, sites, monuments, architecture, and history along the Tour de France routes was one of the reasons I watched it every year. Bob still does it a bit, but it’s not the same. #tdf #tourdefrance
