Our hearing is this week, but as we still do not know which day HB3853 will have its hearing, we are asking everyone to submit a witness slip for BOTH potential days, meaning you will submit two separate witness slip forms. docs.google.com/document/u/2/d…

Completing a slip for *both* days is incredibly important! and it really just takes a minute. These must be submitted in the next ~32 hrs. Please forward this request to everyone (yes, everyone) you know--whether they live in Illinois or not! docs.google.com/document/u/2/d…

It has taken tremendous work by so many advocates from Care Not COVID Chicagoland and Illinois, Access Living, Progress Center for Independent Living, The Arc of Illinois, and more, to get this far. Please signal boost!

URGENT SPECIAL REQUEST: If you are a constituent specifically of IL Rep. Gong-Gershowitz, let me know RIGHT AWAY. If you can help FIND constituents of Rep. Gong-Gershowitz among your contacts, SEND THEM TO ME.

Leftists should give a shit about mask bans because it directly affects workers' ability to protect themselves from airborne viruses. And thanks to y'all's denial about Covid, there's also measles, tuberculosis, fucking bird flu and so much more in the air to worry about

I’m a proud southerner. It rips me apart how the american south is treated like a racist unsaveable wasteland. the south is full of queer people, poc, people who can’t leave due to funds. Please don’t forget the south in your activism, don’t leave southerns to suffer in silence.

Feels remarkable to be excited about anything these days, but nonetheless: I am excited to share that I am one of two recipients of this year's Chicago Film Critics / Rotten Tomatoes Emerging Critics Grant as part of the 2025 Chicago Critics Film Festival. chicagofilmcritics.org/grantrecipient…

I love THEY CAME TOGETHER so much that for my sister-in-law's birthday I made a whole fake Loot Crate box of "official" merchandise from the movie, including a Happy Meal toy of Michael Shannon as "Spike" and a tie-in comic of the bartender scene (illustrated by Sober Rabbit | Sober Drink & Draw on 10/12!!)

personally I choose to consider the specific tweet that got him arrested within the context of his spending the past decade as one of the top figures in the anti-trans movement, during which he’s written thousands of vile posts and newsletters stoking hate and inciting violence

Scott Thompson

I talked with Scott backstage at the Rivoli years ago, after I’d done my set and he was killing time before his. It was an absolute honour when he used a compliment about my performance to speak on our shared struggles as LGBT+ people. Guess that was all bullshit.
