A Patch Three Pack
$20
I've watched this absolutely delightful talk from Panic's Cabel Sasser a half-dozen times since it was released last week. It's a story of finding an unexpected world inside, of all places, a McDonalds, and the paths that are there to follow if you look for them.
I can't stop watching it. Part of that is my own personal malaise needing an injection of wonder, another part is because the world and the state of things is so awful that a simple story of finding unexpected joy feels so necessary, but the other part is because the message is one I think all of us need to hear every now and then: appreciate everything endlessly.
So go watch it, it's 20 minutes and worth every one of them.

In Chicago, whistles proved to be a super effective alert system when ICE is near. With these goons spreading out across the country, I wanted to put together a resource guide for buying, printing, and distributing whistles. I wrote as full a brain dump as I could muster. Whistle up.

It's been reported that Greg Bovino and 250 of his goons will be leaving Chicago. But it's also been reported that he'll be back. Chicago is a boxer, tired but unbowed. I wrote about how we'll be ready.

I spent Halloween chasing ghosts. Not kids in costumes, or jumpscares in a haunted house. I spent Halloween chasing ghosts of a different kind: careening from one ICE spotting to another. I wrote an essay about it, and about other ghosts we're chasing.
