😍😍😍
Headin’ outta Dodge. Hope I don’t come back to an occupied city.
Saved the best Iconic for last 😉
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekIForIconic
Enjoy Jazz Fest!
I’m pretty sure I saw one earlier this week in Millenium Park (or it could have been an actual hawk, but I don’t think it was quite big enough)
Charming Layla! ❤️ 🐶
That’s me: keeping it interesting over here on the Sky 😜
😆
Seems so. The only two times I’ve been labeled for “adult content” have been for art!
🤔 not sure what you mean, Mark? (I’m probably being very dense!)
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekIForIconic
Paper books unless I’m listening via Libby on a long road trip
Freckles!! ❤️ 🐶
OK Rowena is pretty rad. ❤️ 🐰
Cubs. Srsly. Don’t blow this lead.
Uh…did not predict this simple post would be so well liked! I’d say that BlueSky likes libraries (and saving $).
It’s a pretty city
Once again venturing onto super scary public transit toward the equally frightening downtown area
Reason 1,234,567+ for why I’m glad I live in Illinois
Just noticed this on the checkout notification I get from the Chicago Public Library. I think it’s new and I love it!
I’ll take lots of pics!
💙🍸 I’m heading down to Jazz Fest this evening and then getting on a plane this weekend for a little Newfoundland hiking 🥾 🇨🇦!

OLAF!! ❤️ 🐶
Beautiful! I love looking at flowers and gardens that someone else plants and tends to 😊
You’re famous! 👏
Cubs '26 schedule was released this week and it seems they finish the season at Fenway! Fun!
Why yes, yes I do, now that you mention it! One is in the queue for this weekend 😀
How do they taste?
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekIForIconic
Ok, Cubbies. On that note, I’m turning in.
Dog scrolling for the W!
Someone brilliant has already put this biting parody site up. Enjoy! americabydesign.fail
Yeah, Boog and JD just got me to go watch the Bugs Bunny Changeup 😊
Have I got a recipe for you, then! This is from the Lula Cafe Cookbook (an awesome restaurant here in Chicago) and I seriously make this multiple times a year, in every season. I just made it for my sisters at our lake cabin and they also loved it!
I, for one, would LOVE fried cabbage for dinner (or anytime, tbh)
Cool! I just drove through Superior (twice) in the last few weeks on my way Up North and back (but didn’t get off 53, so missed these)
Donuts could go ok with a martini (if you squint)
As soon as I get back from this hiking trip I’ll start working on the Physical Inactivity one
He has been so great. Right person at the right time.
Mmmm for breakfast with eggs sounds heavenly!
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekIForIconic
We most certainly do not.
And, back home in time to watch the Cubs v SF. For the record, I took public transportation (gasp!) - even after dark (double gasp!) - walked a ton and sat on the ground among a diverse crowd in the middle of the city, and the most dangerous part was the cyclists and e-scooters on the sidewalks!
Yes! Another fren!! 🐦
Beautiful evening, beautiful music
😝 the scariest thing so far has been the loud privileged white guy next door espousing capitalism!
It’s a good week when you can repurpose leftover picnic from one outdoor concert to another!
Oooh scary!
Sheldon!! ❤️ 🐶
Aren’t we all, really? 😜
The queen must be comfortable
If the Smithsonian really had giants’ bones wouldn’t they want to display them in the world’s most interesting exhibit??
I think that is a fabulous idea! We’d also get to see them everyday!!
😍 🌞
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekIForIconic
I know they’re awful but I just love the name haboob
Ooh adding this to my next trip! 🤩
I also really appreciate the showing of all the National, state and local officials behind and around him
Tell ‘em, JB.
Hmmm…every time I’ve been to DC over the last 50 years I’ve seen tons of people in the parks and walking on the streets. Many of them were even wearing watches!
I walk outside and go to dinner all the time in Chicago. Tyranny is when fascist hacks send the military to occupy an American city because its residents voted for Democrats.

Ventured out to the super scary Chicago suburbs to see John Legend at Ravinia
Bucktown art fair! 👋 👋
Looks like a Wes Anderson flick
I’ll always love Kyle Hendricks. But Cubs need to beat him.
Clytemnestra was my favorite book of 2023! (Babylonia was also very good)
Lex!! ❤️ 🐶
🤣
Timely and factual 🧵 by someone who actually knows
Another fun trip (ok maybe not for wet & cranky SP)! Never knew most of our lentils come from out there - I will think of you every time I buy a bag now 😊 - and also will start studding my onion with cloves!
💛🧡❤️
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekHForHats
Same thing happened to me! So weird.
Bruuuuuce! ❤️ 🐶
Ahhhh
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekHForHats
So much good comes from Eurovision 😊
Absolutely perfect.
Edwin! ❤️ 🐶 (Great name 😊)
Rizzo! ❤️ 🐶
I don’t even have that! Except dobar dan, I guess?
My mom would’ve LOVED the whiskey pickles - the perfect marriage of her love of bourbon and bread & butter pickles. YUM to all of them but especially those!
Oprostite (oh-prose-teeteh) is Excuse me. Yes, Bok is hi!👋
I try to learn at least the basics (hello, goodbye, please, thank you, excuse me, etc) when I’m traveling to another country but Croatian is kicking my butt! Greek was way easier and more intuitive (to read and speak). Ah well, we persevere. Laku noć!
Ah yes - I’ve seen those before; guess I’ll have to take the Ashland bus again in the next few days to see them in bloom 😊 Thanks!
Cool! Do the big bulb things bloom?
Ok BSers- what are these funky weeds growing in the parkway of a busy Chicago street??
Came over to Wrigley to watch 23’s funeral among other fans 💔
#AlphabetChallenge #WeekHForHats
I have to follow anyone whose real name is Wrigley-Field! 😊 @wrigleyfield.bsky.social
Spot on. I watched all 3 miserable seasons and questioned myself every single episode. SATC was a huge part of my young adulthood and I wanted so badly for AJLT to be great.
Missed that! Ricketty relationships strike again?
If the “cellar” is pretty cool I think you’d be safe moving it back - but if there’s a chance of it getting too warm I’d leave it (and coerce the others to try it with you soon!)
