I was hoping to stop by but Lao Peng You had me turn at Chicago Ave so I missed it. Dumplings were fire tho.

I’ve lived in Chicago so long I’ve transcended riding bike the drive and instead bask in the peace it brings from my apartment balcony. 🧘🏽

I could hear every little creak in my apt this morning. Love it.

We got dropped immediately. They took off out of town, over this hill, and my dad and wife couldn’t keep up. Lights changed, cars split us up, super dangerous. Do not recommend.

The Family Support Hotline number to report ICE sightings in Chicago is 855-435-7693. This is a great interview that describes what happens when the support network is activated and why it's so important to report sightings through organized channels. chicago.citycast.fm/podcasts/how...

I remember seeing Fast and Furious in the theaters when I was 18 and it’s since become a grotesque caricature of what it once was. Final Destination: Bloodlines 25yrs after the original, however was a glorious homage to the original. RIP Tony Todd. 🙏🏽🫡 💀

I had a big one visit me while I was on the toilet last night. It was adorable. All I could imagine is the spider saying Dad I threw up. Wife was not amused.
Capt. Jack Sharrow (@sharrows.bsky.social)
Bad news: I had to evict my spider friends. They were making crazy webs and terrorizing the wife. I told them they could live on my balcony but if they came back inside, they had to be more discrete. 🕷️ ✊🏽
