Every time my wife (a respected and accomplished non-skating roller derby official) tells me how...

*thinks*

much the Chicago officiating community, and standards within it, is/are struggling I get a surge of energy fueled by anger to come back and start things over again, start training people, encouraging new people to join the sport, and eventually raise standards again.

It’s not a good reason to rejoin anything but... goddamnit. yaaargh.

So I’m heading to Omaha for Krazy Winter Nights, a lifestyle hotel takeover, and my wife isn’t able to join me. It’s be lovely to invite someone to join me but it’s in TWO WEEKS.

Looks like I may be the only single guy at the takeover. I’m trying to generate some hype but I also don’t attend LS events as a single guy so those “muscles” aren’t developed.

I am unquestionably a cool cucumber and I love almost all play/gender configurations but... yes. I’ve got nerves. I’d love a partner in crime.

My only point is I’m shocked at how much Pritzker has actually done, especially since I had so much hope for Lightfoot.

Could be much worse ‘round here

Mayor Lightfoot, accomplished lawyer and federal assistant district attorney and chicago police board president, black, lesbian, has as Chicago’s mayor:

- caused a teachers strike by attempting to roll back preciously negotiated salary and benefit increases to teachers
- aligned completely with the CPD on all police accountability topics and has publicly defended them

...but has also is pursuing and has accomplished some badly needed city governance reform.

So...

Gov. Pritzker, millionaire generic white businessman and on paper a hell of an asshole... has as IL’s governor has signed into law a (for Illinois) a shocking number of legitimately progressive and compassionate policies including ...

- protection for trans people in the workplace and healthcare
- expunged records of most people in jail for cannabis convictions
- ended school/district policies on student isolation.

Niiiiiice...
