I know folks have been saying if you don’t live in Chicago, then “Shut Up about Chicago,” but even if you do live here and you’re not part of the solutions, you’re worsening the problems. Step up for Chicago or 🤫 about Chicago. ✌🏾

Good morning Chicago! It's a beautiful, sunny day. I encourage you all to spend time outdoors, connect with your neighbors, and enjoy the sunshine and our beautiful city after a long winter. Let's keep this feeling of unity and optimism alive — bright days are ahead!

“We cannot solve anti-fat bias by making fat kids thin,” writes @v_solesmith. “Our current approach only teaches them that trusted adults believe the bullies are right — that a fat body is just a problem to solve.” nyti.ms/3DkJkg7

Non Midwesterners do not fully appreciate how warm and pleasant 45 and sunny feels in the dead of winter.

we shouldn’t measure the past year in career performance, but rather in paddington bear’s standards: did you make mistakes and then try hard to get things right? were you kind to other people? were you kind to yourself? did you eat enough marmalade?

“But there is one thing that I can do all by myself.”
“What is that?” asked Frog.
“I can go home,” said Toad. “Winter may be beautiful, but bed is much better.”
Elizabeth retweeted
Toad stayed in the bed, and Frog stayed in the closet.
They stayed there for a long time, just feeling very brave together.

feeling crushed. I love this words-based cesspit. Love the jokes & highly specialized literary kerfuffles & I really, really love eavesdropping. I’ve learned so much here from eavesdropping. I can go elsewhere & will, but probably staying as long as feels conscionable
