After more than 200 years, the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation is coming home! I am proud to have worked with Chairman Rupnick to secure $1M to build a Tribal Government headquarters here, on Illinois soil. Honored to have played a small role in this long-overdue homecoming.

if you're wondering why i wear a mask on planes i'm currently in the window seat and the bro in the aisle seat is sniffling and loudly trying to clear the mucus from his throat and just coughed and sprayed my bare knee.

as a person with autism, working with iraelis is refreshing in that they'll walk in, tell you exactly what they need, and then walk out. the dream.

this includes people i have met and know are real but also a couple people i really like i'm somewhat suspicious are ai or feds and a couple people who have blocked me that i think might be ai or feds.

i had a somewhat painful period after using bsky for about a year where i realized that a lot of the users here are in it for the bit and/or have posting/reposting patterns that seem excessive if you're on for long periods that intersect with their posting bc they want visibility.

i think she used to post a lot more personal stuff a long time ago, i eventually muted because my feed became 70% her posts and reposts. i have a very low bar for filtering out bots that she passes; i've always read her as using questions as engagement bait. i don't like bsky bc it rewards bits.

and the sales people who might actually be people don't seem to be able to confirm information about the actual availability/etc. then the replacement hotel required an id scan verification step to finish the booking.

this was actually incredibly frustrating because i had just looked at marriott for a booking not that long ago and had a very different experience. now every interaction sends me to an online event form that no one contacts me about after i fill it out.

wendell the sweetbitter unmanageable creature @wendellwrites.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
marriott's making it basically impossible to book a small group for a business meeting and from the general chaos and booking flow i'm guessing they introduced a new and terrible ai system. i've been working on booking this block for weeks.

i know exactly 1 person in new orleans with a basement. everyone marveled over it, no one would have sheltered there. he lived on the edge of the city. i lived next to a cemetery for a few years; when it rained we could hear coffins bump against the concrete slabs they put over ground burials.

According to legend, if you see a spider on Halloween, it's actually the spirit of a loved one watching over you. So I guess if you see a ghost on Halloween, it's actually a spider. Confusing but good information to have on hand.

adfition. :D i'm glad i signed up for a 6 hr. simchat torah event that's a slog to get to *and* a service that's a short drive from my house because traveling to wicker park to run one errand has eaten the majority of my spoons and rewinding the torah is hard work.

in adfition to staying offline a lot more i'm also trying to figure out how to balance rest, a spiritual life, a social life, and exercise, and right now it seems impossible to do even half the things i want to do.

i like how the jewish year cycles from "take a month to get right with yourself and become the person you're meant to be" to "will you make it to next year?" to "hey, you did it, let's sit in a hut and have some snacks" to "how much can we drink as we rewind this torah????"

in "wow, that's legal?" chicago now has weed doordash delivery. they "scan" your id by taking a picture of it. i'm sure nothing will go wrong with this in any way. they've had alcohol delivery for a while.
