No one told me Zoloft would make me shit myself

I don’t understand why someone would argue with me that it’s not a genocide in Gaza and that that term is offensive to them and then admit they don’t know what the term genocide means???

Before we get started with this meeting I’d like to acknowledge I’m standing on land that will be used to imprison every member of ICE and DHS in about 5 years,

Mamdani has now gotten more votes than 1/4 of the members of the United States Senate did when they got elected. The political power being channeled here is immense.

FOXY JEWISH MAMDANIIII

join us on saturday, november 8th❣️

I’m asking my fellow American Jews to learn to disagree with politicians about Israel. I am deeply disappointed at how far some of my people have gone to the right through fear mongering about antisemitism.

Thread. It looks like the transit bill that passed wasn't just half-assed or bad, which I feared. I still want to know why the hell the Democratic-controlled legislature waited until the last minute. This is no way to run a state.

To me, this is a reminder that the state legislature is very important, but not given enough attention by voters, and so is full of mediocre politicians. We may have finally got rid of Madigan but his ghost haunts the place.

Transit is filthy rich. The Senate passed SB2111 36-12.

Good morning! Last night, Illinois’ legislature passed a law, SB2111, which will fund a major expansion of service for the Chicago region’s transit systems, thanks to new revenue sources. The law also takes a major step forward in coordination between agencies.

At 6:45, SB2111 is now being discussed, thread on the subject mater hearing to follow here.

SB 2111, the bill to fix and fund our transit system, is swiftly moving through the Illinois General Assembly tonight, and your support can make a huge difference. But you must act immediately. Tap below to fill out a witness slip: ilga.gov/House/hearin...

The fight in Springfield continues. We are not letting up! Let's keep applying pressure on lawmakers finish the job. We’re hopeful that a strong transit bill will pass before session ends. It’s time for leaders to get it done. activetrans.quorum.us/campaign/sup... @chi.streetsblog.org

Is anyone covering transit bill news today?

Rosehill Cemetery won’t let bikers ride around in there but they will allow ICE to stage for kidnappings!

My cousin who goes to a Chicago public high school told me last night that one of their homecoming spirit days was “Performative Male Day” LMFAO

As it gets cooler and I remember to put on more clothing for biking, may I recommend the best thing @foxyjewishmama.bsky.social has ever told me about, helmuffs. They fit right over your helmet straps to keep your ears warm and are so warm. Support the small business. www.helmufs.com

@jenawithonen.bsky.social is seriously incredible. Here’s my Halloween set inspired by “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”

Did we partner with @pintpeddler.bsky.social to support vendors for the Midnight Ride? Did the bike team buy out 5 vendors today? Did our Vendor Bike Tour next Saturday sell out so we had to add more tickets? ICE won’t stop, neither do we. ✊🏽 🫔 🔥 🧊

3 Halloween Parties. 0 costume ideas.

White women on TikTok like: “Go support these immigrant owned businesses during this time” *lists businesses without their consent who are scared for their lives and their future* You are actively endangering the people you claim to help! Quit your performance & share some bystander resources.

Does the Metra always make a loud screeching noise lol

Jimmy Kimmel’s back but the FBI is still planning to classify all trans people as domestic terrorists. K*rk’s death continues to impact the people he dedicated his life to spreading hate about. Don’t stop talking about it now that Kimmel’s back on.

I am looking for a CBT who specializes in insomnia and potentially a new psych if our call today doesn’t go well. Getting sleep is so crucial to our bodies being able to function. If anyone on here has gone through something similar, I’d love to hear about your experiences. I feel alone right now!

The past week has been really difficult for me. A few weeks ago I had my depression and anxiety meds increased, which led to one of the worst weeks of my life where I didn’t sleep at all for 8 days straight. Never felt tired.

Does anyone have a recommendation for CBT therapy focused on insomnia in Chicago?

✨Saturday, Sept 20✨ we are partnering with Curbside Bicycles to host a bike tune-up pop-up at Nettelhorst! Curbside Bicycles, a woman-owned bike repair business based right here in Lakeview East, will be on site offering convenient same-day tune-ups and repairs.

NEW — Charlie Kirk, a 31-year-old right-wing activist, is dead after shot in the neck. And in separate news, an emergency anti-ICE rally is taking place tonight at a Chicagoland hotel. thetriibe.com/2025/09/live...

I was recently doored on one of the unsafe westbound routes that this would replace so I would love it if you wrote your alder and told them you support this greenway. 44th Ward 773-525-6034 [email protected] 32nd Ward 773-248-1330 [email protected] Tell them where you live, it helps.

Haley literally embodies showing up for their community every day. Let’s show up for them right now while they need our support.💜

Calling on all Chicago bikers! A beloved member of the Chicago bike community (and a Femmes + Thems core organizer) took a spill at Critical Mass on Friday and was badly injured. Because both of their arms are broken, they are not able to do most self care tasks, let alone work.

It’s cheaper to fly to Seattle round trip than to see Lady Gaga at the United Center for Face Value

Why do I feel like planning a wedding is easier than calling the dentist

I keep having nightmares about breaking my nails lol

So I officially broke my pinky toe and my doctor told me not to bike but I’m like…it hurts way more to walk to the bus and stand on the bus??? Biking doesn’t hurt at all???

Pls help!! actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...

I am so lit

How should I go home today? Milwaukee to Elston to Division to Halsted or Chicago to Larabee to Oak to Dearborn through the park

Please vote no. wgnradio.com/john-william...

We need an 8 lane bike highway on the lakefront trail

What’s a good bar to go with old friends tonight that allows you to throw ass in a chill way for 30 year olds LOL

Femmes + Thems Bike Chicago offers a "safe space for women, femme, nb, and trans Chicagoans to ride bikes together." @atalliance.bsky.social @chicritmass.bsky.social @foxyjewishmama.bsky.social @bikegridnow.org @betterstreetschicago.org @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social

Please help my dear friend in this hard time 💜

Who else enjoyed their swim home from work?

Join Femme + Thems and Latino Outdoors for a farmers market ride on Saturday August 16! 🌞🍒 We’ll be meeting up at La Malinche Coffee and Tea in Pilsen and riding approx. 10 miles to Mercado de Colores in Little Village, where we’ll hang and grab some post-ride treats!

As of this morning, (unsure when exactly since Friday when I last rode Halsted here) bikes can no longer get to Chicago from Halsted easily. If you’re willing to carry your bike over a large concrete barrier, go for it (like I did this morning lol) but don’t recommend with larger or heavier bikes.

Help a girl out: Does anyone know an American manufacturer that produces concrete pavers in vibrant colors?
