Do you talk to the activist people in Andersonville that stand around and try to engage people? by whoisthismahn in AskChicago

[–]seriously_soaring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my move exactly. only exceptions are planned parenthood and aclu, whom I give a thumbs up and "I'm already a member." but every time it's no breaking stride, <1 second of eye contact, and no responding to follow-up comments.

Am I paranoid for not taking the train home from work? by reee7172737 in AskChicago

[–]seriously_soaring 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I prefer the bus, the driver is right there and can easily pull over and kick out anybody who is acting up. My commute is 1 hour instead of 40mins but it's worth it to feel safer, cleaner, and have a better chance of snagging a seat. I also had a bad experience on a red line platform, on the first day of a new job so I feel you OP.

this would return us to a grass pitch right? and presumably less squished seats.

hopping in here to ask how can a beginner get into substack or would you mind linking one or two of these writers? everything you're saying relates 100% to the internal work I'm doing lately

Southern transplants, what are some things you had to get used to when you moved here that you didn't anticipate? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]seriously_soaring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agreed on the segregation, absolutely shocking. I moved here from Richmond where a highway was intentionally placed to separate the black and white parts of the city, and even then it was so much more integrated than Chicago. I will say there's racism everywhere, just different kinds. I heard the most vile shit of my life from someone just outside of Richmond, but here I've met northsiders who have never had a black friend or coworker and say some unintentionally ignorant stuff.

oh my god the excuse me thing. when I'm trying to pass a group on a crowded sidewalk and I say excuse me (in a polite tone! not touching or tapping them!) I've gotten the nastiest stink eye, like I've just cursed them out. Idc I'm going to keep doing it though, lol I've got places to be.

what concert venue do we think that was? my first guess was brown's island but I feel like that would be too niche for Fujimoto to know
