#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.

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?

More heckin good doggos on the TL please, also please don't block me for saying "heckin good doggos"

An accordion bus (the 147) skidding in the snow trying to pull away from the bus stop, yiiiiiiiikes

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"

A candidate for alderman in my ward had a meet & greet at a vape shop.

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.

I have older family members coming for a visit this weekend and I'm looking for ideas of things to do that don't require too much walking/standing, specifically Saturday afternoon. We're going to MSI on Monday so the knees need to save their strength.

A fucking weird experience that seems pretty frequent in Chicago is passing through an area you frequent and a building is suddenly *gone*.

There is a Somali restaurant on Clark just north of Ridge called The Guy and the Goat, may they last for a thousand years

Hey folks, I'd love if you could attend HELLCAB at the Raven! It's the Gritty Chicago Theater™ Christmas show you've been looking for, and you'd be supporting me and my awesome, talented friends. Also tickets are PAY WHAT YOU CAN! http://www.wearetheagency.org/
