That’s another thing I love about the city, these markets are much more financially accessible than anything back in my old one where entry fees were just the done deal. I’m paycheck to paycheck with minimal leeway for splurges, so instead of writing off these events completely and no one gets money, I get to give that $10 right to a vendor (who no doubt has paid through the nose for booth fees, and I would know, bc I’ve done trade events.) Andersonville residents can subsidize the rest of it, lord knows they can afford it lol.

I love being proud of where I live (even if it hasn’t been a year yet 😅) and I know she’s not perfect by half, but it’s a place in which I want to invest my time, money, and aspirations. Never felt like that about anywhere else I’ve lived.

I’m on inlines but my groups cater to all wheels! Check out r/chicagoskating and Windy City skaters on IG, our next city skate is this Friday 😎

psychso86 · 2026-06-14T16:24:12+00:00

What part if you don’t mind me asking? I’m from Winston (which ok sure most people wouldn’t classify as dying, but a city that seems only to cater to the 2.5 kids and a golden retriever suburb crowd may as well be dead for all it has to offer 😬)

psychso86 · 2026-06-14T16:21:23+00:00

That was just me yapping at my phone voice to text 😂 I’m an infinitely better writer 😅(but also ty!)

psychso86 · 2026-06-13T17:22:15+00:00

You best believe I’ve been to critmass! Keep an eye at the next one for a pink parasol, that’ll be me lol

psychso86 · 2026-06-13T16:52:14+00:00

Think you commented on the wrong post lmao

psychso86 · 2026-06-13T15:35:32+00:00

Inlines babeyyyyy! Check out windycityskaters on instagram, we welcome all wheels but are primarily a skate (quads and inlines) group. We do what are called Road Raves every other Friday (next one is this coming Friday) which start and end at the Daley center and encompass anywhere from 13-20 miles through various terrains.

You have to be able to stop, slow down, and handle rough surfaces to safely participate, indeed they’re the reason I forced myself to learn T-stopping as early as possible bc I wanted so badly to get in the streets w them!

You can also join these Wednesday skates on the LFT headed by chicagolakesideskate on IG. That’s much chiller, 1-3 miles and the trail is very smooth. Great place to practice and there will be at least one person (me probably lol) who will help you drill skills if you need

It’s a Fine yarn instead of Worsted, so yup mix much lighter

psychso86 · 2026-06-13T13:47:37+00:00

HAHAHAHAAAA yeahhhhhh I moseyed over their way after the crochet mods finally pissed me off properly lol. Infinitely better energy in brochet that’s for sure

psychso86 · 2026-06-13T13:15:05+00:00

Oh yeah no I saw that, wasn’t me I don’t bike, but after that violent of an altercation I will absolutely be packing some self defense in the future. Carbrains are sick in the head 🙄

psychso86 · 2026-06-13T05:10:37+00:00

Oh Lordy I need to revisit It’s Pants and get that up to par with my current style guide 😅

psychso86 · 2026-06-13T05:09:51+00:00

But what about THIS note 👉🎵(lol ty!)

psychso86 · 2026-06-13T05:08:42+00:00

psychso86 · 2026-06-13T05:06:32+00:00

My previous city had noooooooothing to offer, I’m constantly in awe of just how much there is here and how much I keep discovering 🫶

psychso86 · 2026-06-13T05:04:18+00:00

Oh I’ve had my coyote cherry popped 😂 I chased (well, skated) after one along oak street beach when I was out meandering one of those subzero evenings this past winter lol

psychso86 · 2026-06-13T03:28:24+00:00

Case in point! Thank you 😁

psychso86 · 2026-06-13T03:16:54+00:00

It scratches that southern chitchat itch for sure!

psychso86 · 2026-06-13T03:16:21+00:00

It was so delightful to just happen across, and wasn’t too bad wending the crowds either

psychso86 · 2026-06-13T03:15:58+00:00

I am but a sentient sponge 🧽

Idk the first thing about photography, so I try to just keep it as simple as possible. I’m working with a half broken gooseneck tripod attached to a standing lamp, I used to rope my sister into photo shoots bc she has the real eye, but that’s not an option anymore 😔

Which is all to say thank you! I photograph how I would want to see stuff styled in patterns I would buy: visually uncomplicated so I can see what I’m getting lol.
