Hey Chicago: Does anyone have a recommendation for a good repair person for our 20-year-old Bosch stove?

I didn’t realize how much of my morning revolved around Julius. It’s so weird to eat breakfast without a cat trying to rub his face against mine between bites.

We did dinner there in 2019 and the turtle soup and martinis were divine. But the experience was fun and very “so that how the other half lives”.

Having aging pets is heartbreak, expense, and yet the years that precede illness are so worth it.

Andrew and I ran into him at a restaurant/bar in NYC. I wanted to buy him 16 shots of tequila. But Andrew said it was too expensive.

I have 1 extra ticket to see Sunday’s 1pm Chicago Stars match in Evanston. Happy to give it away free so it doesn’t go to waste.

I love living in a neighborhood where a mariachi band occasionally plays backyard parties. But I wish the parties started and ended before 11pm.

I regularly took this bus home from Evanston and walked 15 minutes because it was so much more pleasant.

I hope your mom truly understood how loved she was. And I hope you understand how loved your are. Your heart is half of her, and I’m grateful for it.

And now I’m hiding in the Korean art exhibit until my face stops leaking. That kid is so lucky.

I wiped away a few tears. As the girl started using his phone to photograph the statue from all angles. He saw me. He smiled. “I became an accountant so my kids could have more freedom. I’m glad her joy touched you, too.”

A placard explained how he replicated one post in charcoal, pencil, ink, paint, and statue. She started jumping up and down. “My teacher said I had to choose one type of art and get good at it. But she’s wrong! I can do all three kinds of art!”

I finally saw the Matisse exhibit at AIC. There was a small girl with her father and she kept asking him to photograph an occasional drawing. Because she wanted to try to copy it at home.

I put it off for way too long, but I finally got the Shingrix vaccine. It was less painful than any of my Covid boosters. So if you’re worried about how painful it is, don’t be.

Your time was a gift to your friend who passed, the friends you told, and yourself. Just like every other major action you’ve taken. You’ve influenced so many.

It’s the guilt that holds us back from truly healing, truly moving on. 💕💕 It sounds like you have an amazing therapist.

I am helping put together a panel of queer speakers for a work event. Do you happen to know a queer speaker from Ireland or India you’d recommend? Born in the US, but able to speak about their experience in the country would be fine, too.

My therapist got an amazing dream job opportunity. I’m thrilled for them. But now I need a new therapist who does EMDR, has good ethics, speaks Internet, and is taking new patients. And ideally takes my insurance. Tall order. I know. But your girl just wants to fucking heal.

This is never good. I’d be vigilant if you live near the areas where they’re circling tomorrow.

@lefttheprairie.bsky.social Howdy! My nephew lives in Columbus, Ohio and is with a small group prepping for ICE. How can I get whistles to send him? I have the PDF to print the zine. Happy to pay. Thank you.
