Literally was talking about this yesterday
I looooove archery! Hope you had fun! Getting your first forearm bruise is a badge of honor.
I literally have to plan phone calls in my calendar in addition to any form of hangout. I feel it.
Do not come, Donald Trump.
You are neither wanted nor needed here in Illinois.
i'm reviewing local theater over at the newsletter! here's some thoughts "MUFFED" over at @factorytheater.bsky.social. all reviews are paywalled, but feel free to activate a 7-day-trial and then cancel if you're into that sort of thing. enjoy! benkayewords.ghost.io/review-the-m...
Happy complaining about the Air and Water Show weekend to all who celebrate. Fuck these fucking jets
Fuck yes!
Hell yes!
Welcome! It's a great place.
This is really really good. Zach went and did what every lefty playwright in America joked about doing, but did it in a non-trolly way. Just a great, laser-focused image of the world we're in, finding the universal in the specific. #theater #theatre

If you're in Illinois and:
- Palestinian, or protesting the genocide in Occupied Palestine; or
- trans, or protesting for trans rights;
and you are arrested or discriminated against, I can represent you pro bono. Please email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. I will take as many cases as I can.
Gotta say, it's kind of nice to read and watch fiction slightly more fucked up than the current state of things. (The Measure and Severance)
Chicago Playwrights! If you have a full length script you’d like to develop, if you’re looking to build your network, if you want to support Tge Factory in their 30+ year mission of producing new work — apply to The Workshop! We’re going to have a lot of fun.
Mansions of Madness! Multiple narratives and expansions. Great for 2 people, collaborative, mix of puzzles, combat, and solving a mystery. It's truly my favorite game!
"bypassing traditional milestones" is a funny way of saying that most of us can't afford to buy a house with multiple jobs, won't have children because we can't afford them, most of our degrees are useless, and we are the poorest generation among all current living generations
Every time I read a retrospective on COVID I remember the early days, when people published commentaries about the 1918 flu pandemic, how it was SO WEIRD that that whole thing just got memory-holed, how did that happen so many people died?
Covid now has >20 million. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...
It's wild how having some dopamine allows me to actually read books and play games and generally do things I enjoy instead of mindlessly scrolling
I read a full-length novel cover to cover today, and it was so peaceful. I can't remember the last time I did that. The last time I gave myself time to just read like that.
I turn 30 this year, so yes, I have an app for my blood pressure monitor.
If you walk over to the jewel at 6pm on new year's eve to pick up a bottle of malort, you might be in Chicago.
Buddy the Elf just passed me at O'Hare saying, "I love your hair! It looks like the North Pole mountains!" (My hair is light blue).
I'm not religious anymore, but I absolutely believe in St. Anthony and his ability to make lost things suddenly appear, whether it's a sock or government documents.

BREAKING: Starbucks Workers United has authorized a strike.
The corporate giant hasn't moved on economic issues in negotiations, and now 98% of @SBWorkersUnited has voted to call a work stoppage “if necessary.”
The union has 10,000 workers at 500 stores.

Remember, corporations steal more through wage theft than every thief in America put together.

This is WILD!
I feel so seen by this. Moved to tears on a holiday weekend where I couldn't bear going "home" to Louisville from Chicago and face my family after the election.
