Most of the time my thoughts aren't long enough for a blog post. My shortform notes get posted on Mastodon and Bluesky, and also wind up here.

The one solace I take in this news of Trump possibly taking over the post office: I once was in a hotel hosting a postal employee union convention and I have never seen people party as hard, as long, and as wildly as those folks. It was just unreal. They will not take this shit lightly in the least.

Every art weirdo of a certain vintage in Chicago has always been ready to stand up for Ukraine because of living in the Ukranian Village in the 90s. They were our brusk landlords who actually fixed things! They were the old ladies who served us perogies! The tracksuit mobsters who left us alone!
