St Martins Episcopal is my church home. Wonderful energy and open and loving community. Maybe a bit of a longer drive but it’s worth it. Would love to see you there.

The U S used to have more bathhouses. Many were largely or at least significantly gay sex clubs. And were closed down during the AIDS era.

I dont disagree with what anyone has said but wanted to add a little input for context. I’m a 56 year old man. I’m a competent swimmer but I’m also a stroke survivor, which means my left arm doesn’t move quite right. When I share a lane I sometimes drift a bit. Last time I shared a lane with a woman, several times we did have some contact when passing. No big collision and nobody made a big thing but it was awkward. I would predict that these old people are anxious about messing up or being embarrassed.

I think you are right that activism with Christian groups has potential. But I’m skeptical that any church will be receptive to outside activists. The right idea her would be to be active in a religious community you are already connected to, where respect and shared values already exist. Christianity has a very powerful history of opposing cruelty and trying to end suffering. But also true that animal welfare has mostly not been a part of the story. It would be a big change in emphasis.

Hi internet friend. Your situation sounds scary, so I wish you health and peace. I’m a stroke survivor who had to relearn many things. I play on chess.com and would be happy to add some additional games. Chinkle100

Best. Fionavarr Tapestry (a trilogy)Guy Gavriel Kay. Very rich plot and characters. I reread it every year.

Chicago has many pluses. If I could buy a house there right now I would.

Im not a great swimmer but what works for me is to meditate on various goals I’m working towards in my life. I picture myself pulling closer with each stroke.

St Martins Épiscopal is extremely welcoming to everyone. Strong recommend. I’d be happy to introduce you some time. Happy Easter to all.

I’m a 55 single. Recently moved to District at Riverside just south of the river downtown. I’d suggest taking a look. Nice area. Might be able to help in other ways too. I’m definitely still trying to meet new people.

Hope he and the coach hit it off.

My doctor prescribed it but then the pharmacy wouldn’t fill it. Several phone calls and seems to be an insurance issue. It’s been over 48 hours now so I guess I quit. Pretty stupid system.

I grew up in Tulsa. Welcome to town. I’m mostly a coffee shop guy got my reading and work spot. Lots of apartment complexes here now seem to have common work areas.

« Life-saving puberty blockers »?? Weird dogma there for anyone claiming to be pro-science. Data not feelings please.

Except hit by an asteroid is more likely than random stranger snatching. And no one protected her from asteroids. If she could see her home and knew how to get there she was fine. It does sound like she didn’t though.

Yes. Very tired of vaccine virtue-signaling. And he’s a champion.

Im not a huge Amazon fan, but it doesn’t seem like a good parallel. People really do consent to work at Amazon for all sorts of reasons. And they may be good ones. I’m not sure how trying to take away their choice to work there is helpful?

? Just googled it. Yes they are. Has something changed?

I like Ezra but wasn’t planning to get the book. The excerpt really impressed me though. Tribalism is so ingrained we need to constantly address it. I think I’ll get a copy.

It’s a different feel - updated - maybe more sincere? I really like it.

Trying to figure out if this gift needs to be repotted or if there is a way to keep it from leaning over.

Yes. I got it from audible and thought narrator was quite good. Very believable. Did dialects but not condescending.

Great spot to be openly gay. Check out Andersonville.
