Embracing saying “I don’t know” as a way to welcome more collective action and also to continue to embody constant learning/unlearning. I do wish others would just admit when they don’t know how to do something. But also be willing to be stretched.

Someone cool and decent and community-minded in Chicago, please buy Build Coffee! Hannah and Bea literally nourished the @city_bureau fellows and staff when they shared a building. It’s a true third space on the South Side that’s welcoming of everyone blockclubchicago.org/2024/09/27/woo…

Way to go, Ahmad and Bill!

Two of our @CHIdocumenters have covered 100 local public meetings! @ahmad_sayles & @BillGDocumenter are the first to achieve this milestone, listening to countless officials discuss a plethora of issues such as police, schools, and development in Chicago. citybureau.org/notebook/chica…



I remember that story!

In 2008, I was a young features reporter at the Chicago Tribune and spent an entire day with Richard Simmons. It ended with the 2 of us sitting on the floor of a Walgreens bathroom, Simmons crying. Then I had to race back and write on deadline. medium.com/@pang/the-many…
