Em, midly

Oh don’t worry. There’s a show in late April I’m already designating my birthday show

Could just do a multi venue Chicago birthday blowout. Idk I’m turning 42 so how do I become the answer to life, the universe, and everything

We’re less than a month out from my birthday so I need to figure out what I’m doing for it. It’s the first Thursday in April so I could do a weekend Milwaukee thing or just a dinner and drinks in Chicago. Trying to decide what flavor of celebrating I feel.

okay I have to ask. Is this a bit? It’s a really good one if it is

👏 bring👏back👏quaa👏ludes

I looked up Jennifer Custer and the bulk of her experience seems a little smaller town, but she’s got a kid in CPS, she’s on the school board now, and she graduated from @youterus.bsky.social’s alma mater

The good point of the anti-public education crowd getting behind Paul Vallas... Paul Vallas reliably loses elections.

Paul Vallas at 2am going back for more electoral defeat

Vallas is like the only guy Chicago hates worse than Rahm

Emily I'm trying to do the finger L on my forehead and enter that into the comments box but the system won't let me

lmfao

This is still true for us. It hasn't ended.

i said "the only thing he hates more than balancing a budget is educating children"

He's a law & order goon who brought zero tolerance to CPS which demonstrates he knows absolutely nothing about creating safety or creating an environment that helps students. He's a charter school/privatization vulture bird of prey which means he doesn't think education is a public good

If you’re looking for a good dunk, may I recommend “it’s like making a fox president of the henhouse board”

Same but someone else’s dunk reminded me, so I had to pay it forward

I’d love to hear about the 3 you knew. They were all new to me except the one jagoff

I called him an opportunist who ruins public education.

Zero charisma or political acumen. Coasting on cash.

"The worst of all possible candidates. A man who has dedicated his life to the destruction of public education. The lap-dog to monied interests. A singularly loathsome and pathetic individual who should be in therapy rather than running for public office again."

I had thoughts.

Thank you for that fun today. I think I used 10 Es when I typed eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew.

He’s probably too cheap to pay anyone else to do it

I pray for his therapist

Some sort of vampire feeding off proximity to power

That mythical public school with 87 students, 92 teachers, and an annual budget of $900,000 or whatever the fuck they’re always on about

He’s truly a less talented, more off-putting Rahm

The fact this was his answer to “What do you like about Chicago”

Vallas’s giggle as he called Chicago the Saudi Arabia of fresh water lives rent free in my head

& thank god for that!
