Shout out to the people who already had to work at the Margaritaville on Navy Pier on a holiday weekend, who now also have to work at the Margaritaville on Navy Pier on a holiday weekend after Jimmy Buffett died.
I will pray for you.

Someone I was dating asked me if I could reschedule my period so it didn't coincide with his birthday.
We did not make it to his birthday.
Shout out to all the theatre kids getting their whole entire lives in their living rooms!
Spouses seeing whole new sides of people right now.

My husband ran the carpentry shop for the initial build for that gorgeous show, including the apartment in Lakeshore Tower and the spaceship.
I wish more people saw it, because he and his crew did so much incredible work.
Station Eleven was one of the most beautiful and profound series i’ve ever watched and i feel like it got lost in the shuffle?? it was nominated for emmys but every time i ask someone if they watched it they’ve never heard of it

You tried and failed to White Knight + you RT Joel Osteen.
Please take whatever flavor of religiousness this is off of my African-American internet.

On behalf of the bad bitches of the Greater Chicagoland Area, may I ask whomst we have to fight for you?
We don’t even need an address, just a neighborhood and a general description.
@SomaKazima
I mean, you’re waking up as Beyoncé. Jay is going to be right next to you.
You’d have to put in effort to just ignore the man, and it would be rude of you do so.
@chancetherapper
First: that chicken isn't even that good
Second: the LGBTQ community has been asking us for literal years to stop going there for good reason. Why do you need bland pickle chicken more than you need to support an entire community?
Hot take: Chicago wouldn’t be such a “Cubs town” if the Sox could put together one decade of sustained success. If you had a run where the Sox went to the postseason 7 times in 10 years, you’d see attendance and fandom jump permanently.

Those dudes couldn't handle that smoke. Nas is 20 years old, and has been in the industry for under a year. His POV is important, but he needs a bit of time to find that loud - out-loud - voice.
Billy found his in the 1970s, and will leave nary one edge in that barbershop.
I honestly have no idea how it's all going to shake out, but my mind just allowed me to think about two black women in a run-off for Mayor of Chicago for the first time, and it made my breath catch in my throat.

I had a wonderful talk with

yesterday, and I can't stop laughing at the last bit where we agreed that
@VanessaVanjie
is a genius for giving us so much.
I want know why isn’t Chicago a popular domestic summer destination like miami/nyc/La etc
Is it because of the crime?
Lack of events ?
I genuinely want to know c

Oh, the work you're required to be grateful you have and can't complain about because you'll look like a tone deaf asshole because so many of your friends are unemployed, so now you have a nice pile of guilt next to your pile of work?
I have a bit of news to share.
Starting in early 2024, I will be joining the team at WTTW Chicago as an on-air personality, dropping into your favorite programs to recruit new members to my favorite public television station.
I have to sit with this for a minute.
I spent nearly ten years making radio and podcasts at
@Vocalo
and
@WBEZ
.
I made my career there and now just…poof.
This is a HUGE loss for Chicago and for me and my people personally.
I am stunned.

@WBEZ
leadership just announced the elimination of our podcast unit, the end of the Vocalo radio broadcast and the layoffs of 14 people. It's only been two years since we were big enough and financially healthy enough to acquire the Sun-Times.
Some ✨personal/professional✨news!
After 8+ years hosting and producing amazing radio for
@Vocalo
, I’ll be leaving the station in January.
I’ve accepted a position as the
New Media & Civic Events Producer for

- memories of a particularly good tangerine you had once
- whispering the word "peach" into a stranger's ear

@Karnythia
This is just called "being an actor."
Imagine being on the
#1
show of the 80s and having people expecting that to just be your life til you die. That ain't how it works.
Maybe if Cosby hadn't been out here raping people, dude would still be making residuals.
But, here we are.
@JonathanPieNews
I don’t think Sam Smith or their people ever asked you, nor are you in their target audience.
Not everything is for you and that’s okay, ya big geezer.
Chicago, it would be great if -while you're at Lollapalooza- you ignore DaBaby and his homophobic DaBullshit.
Let him play to no one. It's what he deserves.
Wow. Wuhan, China — once the global epicenter of the coronavirus — hosted an EDM concert at an outdoor water park that saw thousands in attendance. Wuhan hasn't seen a single case of COVID-19 since mid-May. The U.S. has surpassed 5.4 million cases and counting.

Whenever Black women assert ourselves, we are called "Angry" or told that we need to dial it down.
Kamala didn't lose her cool. She just acted like the white men on stage with her, but she did it better.
