At work, some things have transpired recently that really reminded me how Linux people are really used to having to build things ourselves.

Chicago most all the time. Linux and friends during the day. Relaxing with cats in my free time.
Dan SinkerICE has been cracking down hard across the vast expanse of the greater Chicago area, and I wrote a little bit about what you need to understand about what it’s like here now. Plus, I compiled some resources for locals to get alerts and whistles. https://dansinker.com/posts/2025-10-24-understand/
The Weekend Spy 
I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into Fscist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

This is maybe three blocks from where we live. Chicago is just a city. Real regular people with real lives live here. It’s not a war zone unless the administration turns it into a war zone.
As a Chicagoan, I don’t dig the president and secretary of war saying they’re going to invade my city. It’s really pretty scary.
I walked through a neighborhood and took the train to work today. It’s a regular place! #chicago

Izzy likes to walk in front of my face when I open my phone in bed late at night. She thinks I deserve better.
