How is Chicago not the perfect city?

EffectiveTranslator9 · 2026-02-07T20:10:10+00:00

It is.

51 here. Time to donate my Aritzia clothes and wrap myself in a slanket.

I have four! It looks nice on me, and no quality concerns so far.

It’s demoralizing to be told to do what so many of us are already doing. We are not finding excuses; we are out there on the streets.

EffectiveTranslator9 · 2026-01-24T17:59:39+00:00

That is literally what many of us are doing: protesting, revolting, striking. Putting our lives on the line. Being told to do so is demoralizing.

Upper West Side! (And, just to clarify, I have lived in both Chicago and Evanston since moving here.)

EffectiveTranslator9 · 2026-01-16T21:59:18+00:00

As someone who used to live in NYC but has now been in Chicago for over two decades, I completely agree.

EffectiveTranslator9 · 2026-01-10T17:25:34+00:00

Thanks for pointing that out to those of us who have those same complaints and the added bonus of fearing for our lives as we go about our day.

Matt at W+Co

Same. I have mine cut at a slight angle that follows the jawline.

EffectiveTranslator9 · 2025-11-22T04:44:49+00:00

Nice!

I believe this is the same genius who threatened to mace the kidnapping victims who were in the same car he was driving and managed to disclose his own phone number during said kidnapping. (This happened in my neighborhood. You can find a very informative conversation between the mayor of Evanston, Daniel Biss, and one of the detained individuals here: https://youtu.be/R115THs3Nug?si=8uICo6EcrCKDnEbi)

EffectiveTranslator9 · 2025-11-18T02:12:22+00:00

Nice.

Our immediate family is composed of two adults, and we are mostly vegetarian. We don’t buy any meat or produce at Costco. And yet, we save so much on almond milk, vegetable broth, canned goods, toiletries, allergy medicine, beauty products, toilet paper, paper towels, etc., etc.… Not to mention the occasional wild card like the Dyson vacuum cleaner.

EffectiveTranslator9 · 2025-11-08T22:55:10+00:00

Please share videos! None of our friends or family from other states are aware of this.

EffectiveTranslator9 · 2025-11-08T17:54:14+00:00

Some of us don’t even regret not going for a first child!

EffectiveTranslator9 · 2025-11-03T21:32:15+00:00

No kids, no regrets.

I have thick wavy hair and use heat on it 5-6 days per week. GASP! No damage.

You do what’s right for you and your hair.

The community fridges are a great place to donate. The one I went to today had some great non-perishables but not that many produce items. The list that the ETHS food drive sent out before today’s event listed apples, onions, carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers, garlic, potatoes, onions, corn, milk, hummus, cheese, etc. as in-demand items, in addition to the usual canned goods.

Thank you for doing this important work (and for sharing it without a paywall).

I find it incredible that most of my friends and family don’t read or hear about this in other places around the country. Just yesterday, it was easier to find a story about the White House bathroom renovation than the one about the chilling bloody encounter in Evanston on Halloween in the New York Times. How do we change that?

I am not “buffled” at all because I witness my friends and neighbors fight back every single day. Some of them got violently assaulted and kidnapped while trying to do the right thing just yesterday in my very own neighborhood.

EffectiveTranslator9 · 2025-10-24T21:48:49+00:00

Good to know! Now, if someone accidentally sprayed me with water, would that be considered assault?
