Erineum galls are different looking than a typical gall on a leaf, which is more of a raised bump. The feeding of the mites causes the plant to produce abnormal growth, which in turn shelters the mites while feeding. Known as galls, the abnormal growth in this case are the pinkish-red patches you are seeing on the leaves of your birch tree.

When we’re taking photos, they’ll say things like, “Take your hair down!” or “Take your sweatshirt off. Come on, look cute.” This has been getting on my nerves, and I can’t help but take these comments as insults, like they think my appearance needs changing.

At 3:15 a.m. Nov. 1, 2019, officers responded to a call of a person shot at the white-stoned home in the 6200 block of South Morgan Street on the South Side, according to a Chicago police report included in a city complaint filing against the building’s owner. Officers found a 26-year-old man lying on the kitchen floor in his own blood with gunshot wounds throughout his body, telling the officers, “Get me some help.”

As the body was removed from the building around 3:30 p.m. Thursday, wails of grief rose from the people gathered behind police tape. The body was placed in a van and as it drove off one man shouted, “We love you, boy!” Another man ran behind the van, his hands in the air as if to wave goodbye or, possibly, to try to hold onto the victim a little longer.
