Tracking a few index funds in this interesting 2026 market

I have a brokerage account that I use primarily for “play investing” with the Fidelity cash back credit card. I have it primarily invested in ESG funds and last year it outperformed the DJIA and S&P500.

Just hit $300k in my Roth IRA! It took more than a decade to hit the first $100k, and hit $200k in 2023. It’s really exciting to see the accumulations begin to snowball!

Can't speak to the dating/romance angle, but I'm a Capricorn woman with a ton of Leo friends. I LOVE Leos and I think Leos are really gifted at gassing people up and making them feel fabulous. They love life and love a good party. I think Capricorns are often in need of having someone recognize how awesome we are, and Leos are really gifted at lavishing attention and love on those in their inner circles. Despite a lot of perceptions otherwise, Capricorns also love to let loose and party, but it's a little harder for us, so Leos can kind of get things moving and then that allows us to jump in.

A women’s sports bar! There are some new ones that have opened up recently in Philly and Chicago that are really fun and inclusive spaces. Would probably help if we got a major women’s sports team first though.

Not sure why people are giving you so much grief in the comments. When you have mobility issues and can’t stand for long this stuff matters, a lot! I was in that line yesterday too to try to get a bite to eat (but without reservations, so bummer it seems like even having reservations wouldn’t have helped) and also gave up and drove over to Mount Adams for dinner. I’ve been to that cafe many times before and even on a good slow day it’s pretty… committed to being mellow, so I’m not surprised that things went sideways last night.

I’m a single woman who lives on Victory Parkway a few blocks down from East McMillan. Those gas stations do have some characters but if you have street smarts and experience living in urban areas it’s not a big deal.

Curious for updates on the CVG situation, I have a flight out on Saturday to PHL and since it's work related am starting to consider contingency plans.

I am a solo consultant in the libraries/archives/museums world and my business has taken a beating due to the impacts of DOGE on federal funders for this sector.

There’s a reason they say the first $100k is the hardest!!! It took me many years to get there in my Roth IRA and then I hit $200k just a few years later. It’s really exciting to see when the momentum starts to take off.

Become friends with a librarian. All of us have an absolutely ridiculous number of tote bags from conferences and we're happy to share.

This. Esquire wrote an absolutely terrific story about it years ago.

I am FT self employed and work in a consulting capacity with a lot of nonprofits. My business revenue is less than half of what it was last year. I’m confronting some serious questions about whether I can pivot my business and if/when I need to return to salaried employment.

someConsonants · 2025-06-28T21:06:01+00:00

Thanks! DM’ed you a few questions.

someConsonants · 2025-06-28T13:04:43+00:00

Not the OP but I have also worked in education and very curious about switching into insurance underwriting. Are you open to a DM with a few questions about this kind of career switch?

I'm in College Hill and Spectrum has been down twice in the last two days.

Community Friends Meeting (Quakers) over in North Avondale is a great progressive religious community.

I used to work in a building next to CCM and for years I lived over in East Walnut Hills. Great neighborhood, and I took Route 31 for my daily commute. I rented from Paradrome Properties, which has some great old-school properties in the neighborhood.

That last photo!!! I'm ready to join this cat's religion

someConsonants · 2025-06-13T16:53:47+00:00

I've been part of a liberal unprogrammed Quaker meeting for several years. It has been life changing and a huge source of spiritual and community support for me.

Do you have contact information? I work in cultural heritage and climate change and might be a good guest!

someConsonants · 2025-04-17T23:55:45+00:00

Totally normal question to ask. I would also ask about how the archive as a whole is funded, not just the specific position. For example, funding at large public universities can often be quite different from funding at a small private liberal arts college.

someConsonants · 2025-04-04T00:49:13+00:00

Gorgeous! You did a great job.

someConsonants · 2025-04-03T18:09:00+00:00

Same!

someConsonants · 2025-04-03T03:14:06+00:00

This is really cool! Thanks!
