#introductions Hi folks! My main is @tessaracked , I'm going to keep it local on this alt.

🗺️ I've lived in Edgewater since 2014, Chicago since 2012, previously in NJ. I grew up in NY.
💼 I work in social services. Proud union member!
🎭 I love theater (mostly acting but I've started writing and directing too over the past year) and film.
🏳️‍🌈 I'm nonbinary (they/them). My partner and I are bi. I'm also socialist and Pagan.

Smack Dab is so fucking good I'm angry

Everyone and their mom is going to be at Moody's tonight

We got a letter from the Post Office specifying how to correctly write our address. Did everyone get one, or are we the only fuck-ups?

God bless Polish co-workers who bring paczki to the office

I'm assuming we're all spending our afternoon on the check out line at Jewel?

Not to enthusiastic to trade in one billionaire for another, but it did feel good to get an email this morning with new letterhead and the order "cease using the letterhead with Bruce Rauner's name on it immediately"

HELLCAB at the Raven Theater, it's the misanthropic Yuletide love letter to #chicago that you need this weekend. Tickets are PAY WHAT YOU CAN and can be obtained via http://www.wearetheagency.org

I need a day of self care where people use my correct pronouns and give *me* directions

I'd bitch about being an unpaid tour guide but they are paying for my meals. And did give me Christmas presents. So.

Apparently boat tours still run in December? That sounds uncomfortable at best.
