I have been to Marceline! I was so close!

Yes, humans do this thing. Even people you know! It’s normal

Having those little convos and making yourself the person who somebody knows who does a thing, can change minds! I used to drink out of a mug with my neighborhood’s name on it at my job in St. Louis bc it gave me the opportunity to have the “oh yeah I live on the north side 😊!” convo w so many ppl

I have been around a lot of parts of MO and IL at least once, but never there!

Saved this on my Google Maps in case I’m ever in this part of my home state. I would go see Maxie

In all seriousness Ellsworth is so tuned in to our routines and habits around anything that he likes that he just materializes before you ever get the chance to summon him.

He’ll figure out the name thing eventually, he’s smart.

My dad told me Ellsworth would probably learn his name if I didn’t refer to him as Ralphie (his foster name) half the time.

I had to break it to him that around the house, Ellsworth actually gets addressed by names like Captain Butt. My dad did not like this news

Huh. Apparently Ellsworth Kitty knows his name if you have a sardine

don’t let anyone tell you that you don’t deserve a fresh, hot bowl of soup today

get that broth

They can fly now

One time I saw Tunde Olaniran play a show backed by dancers in Nick Cave soundsuits there. My face hurt from smiling so much

IT’S THE UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH BY MY OLD PLACE! Lil onion dome.

I loved living over there, Banglatown was great

A Ouizi mural!

A black and white cartoon by Ward Sutton of a man looking in a window with an excited look on his face. His shirt says “sickos” and a speech bubble says “yes, ha ha ha YES”

A demonstration of the impact the St Lawrence Seaway had on Great Lakes sailing: this iron boat is both longer and wider than the Titanic.

I just misread a “Corewell Health” sign as “Cornbeef Health.”

I am def just hungry but uhhh. I think I finally figured out what kind of specialist I need

IT’S SO GOOD.

The guy also took my allergy stuff seriously and changed gloves between making M’s corn and making mine! I’m ok with trace amounts but a lot of people aren’t, the respect is appreciated

I was seriously just talking about his corn. He must’ve known on a spiritual level

(He is probably following people back now that outdoor weather season is starting)

Received a very important notification today

Detroit, IYKYK

The Car-Crash Conspiracy High-speed accidents, crooked lawyers, and poor people desperate for cash—it was the kind of scheme that could have been cooked up only in the Big Easy.

Just finished reading @praddenkeefe.bsky.social’s WILD New Yorker article about a group of people in New Orleans who staged *dozens* of car-into-18-wheeler accidents for money. They were real collisions.

Gonna be thinking about this one for a while.

I’m mutuals with a guy on TikTok who takes his electric piano (?) to natural places around Cincinnati and plays his relaxing music out amongst the trees.

I never knew how much nature was in and around Cincy before!

I always remember being asked “How do you even know it’s arson?” by the editor of a local paper who didn’t wanna cover Paul McKee negatively.

My man, 11 fires in a 4 block area in 4 days, of homes all owned by the same man is ARSON. But if u dont believe me come smell them, they reek of accelerants

In general, white and south-of-Delmar / suburban St. Louis’s inability to believe extreme harm is happening to people in North City will ask you to disbelieve your own experiences and senses.

For years neighbors wld say “something Erin Brockovich” had happened in St. Louis Place. I would talk with people outside the Near North Side about it and they would be skeptical.

Lo and behold: Turns out the Army was testing radioactive chemicals on residents of Pruitt-Igoe via giant sprayers

Idk if I need to indulge in conspiracy theories, doing organizing work and living in north St. Louis will expose you to some absolutely wild shit that is fully true

so... how much of this is 'rail and how much is just 'I-5 Program Adminstrator,' I wonder?

“By stripping the right to asylum, nations are creating a growing underclass of placeless, rightless people to police in perpetuity, and an ever-greater policing apparatus with which to crack down on them—and, increasingly, everyone else.”

Absolutely essential reading on global borders and asylum.

Seems like a hunch of celebs got paid to say it’s good recently IMO
