#oakparkil — Public Fediverse posts

“The crowd of protestors gathered in Scoville Park for speeches and protest songs and then marched in a loop from Oak Park Avenue to Harlem Avenue along Lake Street chanting slogans and carrying signs referencing Trump’s mass deportation campaign, the war with Iran, Trump’s relationship with the late pedophile Jeffery Epstein, federal budget cuts and other grievances.” #oakparkil #nokings

Lancelot in India

Krishna rides the rolling white clouds,
White as rain in direct light.
Krishna astride a bison on a day ride.

It remains a mystery
How Launcelot abides.
They fight like tides.

It's inspiring to work in a community where my fellow artists & local institutions (s/o @JAMdrops) are open to a fresh take. Like words made into film or sculpture.

Like movie shorts you'd see before a feature. At an IMAX.

Six miles ESE is the south end of Lake Michigan. We call the clouds The Mountains of Michigan.

For this Bandcamp Friday, my new Digital Album "Vanderwater Variations: Poems Set to Music."

Especially excited to share here b/c you all are much more responsive to work like this than at the Other Place.

Best day to give support for independent artists (we get to keep more of your donations!).

Halloween at Heurtley House, Frank Lloyd Wright, 1902.

My town Oak Park likes to rock a Halloween yard display.

A bike, a phone & good lighting come in handy during my favorite month of autumn here.

I went for a bike ride to remedy my Existential nausea and found this.

How's your air quality today?

Just below Elmwood Park here is a cluster of the worst local air, now known as the Village of Claritin. I'm the mayor.

it's a dry town.

For my allergies it's Perpetual Brigadoon.

I remain partial to spoken word set to hot rhythms. This one is a little off color, and in German. "Gunter der Zwerg" from "Zen Mountain Circus."

"Oppenheimer" runs a bit long but it was cool, the sound, huge. #cillianmurphy as young Oppy looked like Chaplin.

The visual palette was like "Giant" (George Stevens?). Worthy of 70mm (which I did not see).

My neighborhood giraffe, which I call, with great affection, "Steely Jan."

Shakespeare in the Park (and the perfect choice for outdoors--as long as the heat wave has passed).

Uptown in #oakparkIL it's the #FrankLloydWright Plus walk all morning. This one is Plus (Not Wright). In one subdivision, the finest residential units in the world.

I live south of the tracks, literally in the Servants Quarters, one of the odd, OLD (for here!) multi-unit buildings in the 'hood. No room for staff in these old Victorians surrounding.
