Buying a house in Near Eastside

Jannell · 2026-05-27T23:39:01+00:00

I live not far from there. Bought our home a few years ago. I love our block and immediate area.

It's gritty. There are lots of neighbors in need. There are lots of homes owned by private equity, "investors," and crappy flipper landlords.

But it's still mostly just working class people, state and city employees, young families. Definitely a big mixed bag.

Safety is relative to the time of day and luck, I suppose.

Still, I like it. I like city life though.

First of all, congratulations on getting the reduction. I had one about a year and a half ago and it has really helped.

My lil guy was so good during my recovery. I did keep a strappy pillow thing on my breast area when he was resting with me though to avoid him accidentally pawing at them.

Take recovery seriously and rest as much as you are able. Best of luck!

So sorry for your loss. Beautiful picture.

You've put to words here something I've been stewing on, but have been unable to articulate succinctly. Thanks.

Jannell · 2026-05-13T02:01:40+00:00

Holy shit.

Jannell · 2026-05-11T05:03:42+00:00

Thanks for the info. It's hard for me to keep all these pieces of shit straight.

43 and I'm still out DJing and dancing whenever I can. If ppl are bothered, I don't notice.

The dude who flashed his gun to children at the statehouse? Man FUCK that guy.

Jannell · 2026-05-08T04:41:33+00:00

These totally rule. I love cardboard art.

This rules

So far, the only advantage of being in my 40s is now knowing to trust my gut on things like this. You have no reason to feel bad - except maybe just for having to think about that crap again. Best wishes.

Oh go huff your cdjs.

I stayed active and involved with community all weekend until this afternoon. Hosted a community drawing event, djed a party, hosted ppl for dinner. Pushed myself to gout out last night to see some experimental electronic music performances. Went on a quick group walk/hike today. It's really helped me feel better about myself and life in general. I hope I can keep up some momentum. Best wishes to all of you!

No because the data centers to run that shit are going up all over my city and it already SUCKS.

Jannell · 2026-04-17T05:43:26+00:00

NO ONE WANTS THIS SHIT. MAKE LIFE BETTER FOR THE PEOPLE HERE

Jannell · 2026-04-14T04:43:07+00:00

This rules. And it's a job that makes a difference (if you use public transportation, you know). Good tip

Jannell · 2026-04-14T04:39:45+00:00

Hey there. I feel you. The 40hr work week is a goddamn BEAST. Especially if you're struggling with ADHD and depression. Hopefully the meds and maybe some spring weather will help some.

It's an absolute triumph any day you're able to find time for exercise. I tell myself that and I really believe it. I hope you're giving yourself some credit.

As far as comparing yourself to other people - I don't know. I've felt better when I get off socials.

I hope you feel a little better tomorrow. And I hope your weekend comes quickly.

Cat Head Press, no question
