“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
Luke 16:13 NIV
Chicago is OUT
Happy international womens day!
you do not need to wait for jesus to “come back.” dig through the rubble of any bombed out apartment complex, office building or, yes, girls’ school, and you’ll find him there, covered in dust.
christians looking for jesus in every war we start, every missile we fire, every conquering despot we crown, and never in the one place jesus promised he could be found: among the poor, the starving, the oppressed.

Little ones all over Kuaihelani are in practice mode. Eventually they'll be getting higher than nest height. For now, they'll stretch and train those muscles needed for an eventual 6-foot wingspan!

I am so proud to work with Steve. His courage as a reporter in the face of threats and intimidation is unmatched. May we all dig deep and find just a smidge of it.
This (Steve's arrest) was also ~36 hrs after an ICE agent shot me directly in the face with pepper balls while photographing feds.
Attacks on journalists matter. But as fitfully as we sleep these days, it's nothing in comparison to the fear for their lives and families immigrants are living with.

The rally is small - only a few dozen people. One speaker, going by Bennett, offers their solidarity to Kansans impacted by the new law. They also offer an invitation:
"To my trans siblings in Kansas and beyond, if you decide to leave, Chicago is a great city," they say.
Happening now in Chicago's federal plaza:
A rally is underway in solidarity with trans people in Kansas whose drivers' licenses were suddenly invalidated last week, due to the enactment of a new state law that requires a person's gender on their license to match their assigned sex at birth.

Common or Eurasian coot (Fulica atra) swimming on the surface of the water.
I don't usually bother much with coots, as they are just so common and plentiful. So much so that I didn't realise they have scary red eyes.

Today in weird ways trauma sneaks into your daily life: every once in a while, when out downtown or elsewhere, I get a whiff of *something* in the air that smells like tear gas. Immediate tachycardia
No idea what the odor actually is but will prob be triggered by anything metallic forever now 🏆
Seriously considering buying some kind of lockbox for my phone
‘it would have gone down different if i saw him pulling that shit’ oh yeah?? i’ll pay you fifty dollars if you call your creepiest friend a creep to his face, without pretending to be joking. hell if your honest reaction to that was ‘but i don’t have a single creepy friend’ i’ll make it a cool hundo
men love to be like ‘if i saw some guy doing that shit to my girl i’d kill him.’ no you wouldn’t lol. you can’t even politely ask your buddy to stop calling women fat bitches or whatever
We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Happening now: anti-war protestors are gathereing in Chicago's Congress Plaza for a demonstration against ongoing U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran.
Tonight's rally follows a similar protest in Chicago on Saturday; other anti-war actions are being planned across the city over the week.
