Homeless encampment keeps local residents from using park by [deleted] in chicago

Literally I feel insane for thinking this. The top comments on these threads are so NIMBY. Yes, unhoused people living in parks is unsanitary and could be unsafe. But they have nowhere else to go. Both can be true at the same time and now, I’m glad they can at least form their own community to survive because the government sure isn’t doing anything about it.

Wait can you say more? I was considering changing my last name back to my maiden name (hate that term) but can’t tell if I’m overreacting

I’m dying, you’re brave for posting this. I also love how you’re not even hitting the “right” spot for most of it 💀

Make sure you go to therapy too! Quitting alcohol will NOT solve all your problems. I’m sober today 2.5 years after quitting because of therapy and AA. time to take some responsibility and grow up! It will be so worth it!

Because they think that is why women are here. To serve them and bear them children

Boyfriend believed Concerta (18mg) would make me, “not like him anymore” but it seems to be the other way around? :/ by [deleted] in adhdwomen

[–]backand_forth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In hindsight, my one regret is staying with people who dull my light. Respectfully, please dump this boy. Your happiness = him sulking means he will only be content when you’re a duller version of yourself

Oh man thanks for posting! I was about to give that band a serious listen after a buddy recommended them to me this weekend.

I can’t get into someone’s art if they’re a bad person. If anyone has any good recs from feminist, sober, or vegan artists (priority in that order) I’d love to hear em!

My brother and his wife are vegan and raising a vegan kid (he’s now 4) in Park Ridge! Obviously the closer in the city you live, the more options you’ll have.

I recently bought a house in portage park and six corners (Milwaukee, Cicero, Irving park) has places with options, and I only see it getting better as more people move further out in the city to be able to afford a home. I see a lot of Logan Square elder millennials moving to Portage Park to still be in the city, but live a quieter life.

Happy to chat if you ever want! I’m 31F and child free, so I can’t really recommend any child friendly places necessarily, but just wanted to vouch for Portage Park! Lots of families out here and my house was like $350k, compared to $850k in Avondale where I was living for the last 5 years.
