Everything I needed to know about Susana Mendoza I learned when I found out that Ed "racketeering is my passion" Burke played a piano solo at her wedding.

Susana Mendoza filmed her mayoral campaign announcement video inside the Mexican grocery store in Albany Park that this happened outside of yesterday. In March she called for the man accused of killing Loyola student Sheridan Gorman to be deported to El Salvador, where deportees have been tortured.

Mayoral sans-Hopeful Susana Mendoza, Dangerous Driver? This Chicagoan Says Yes.

Like the video of that kidnapping is outside that very same store.

live a life so that the New York Post is mad at you

If the New York Post wrote this about me, a copy of the front page would hang in my office forever.

Chicago Bluesky is a hivemind

I can't wait to visit the library that isn't free

yeah cool that you're blue no matter who--but other people aren't and that needs to be part of the Dems' calculus. But it never is! They just keep ratcheting right, losing votes, and blaming the public instead of aligning with their electorate.

Why on earth would this ever be true. Businesses do not have a right to exist more than people have a right to free, safe, and easy movement.

it's good to be gay

This is an actual nightmare and the true end of the free internet.

Buses in traffic is a policy failure

I'm really glad someone is finally saying this because Patagonia has been MORE than reasonable here. They have literally no choice other than to protect their brand and Pattie could have chosen to have a great relationship with them and instead chose this!

ran into my therapist just outside his office and it was truly like seeing a teacher at the grocery store.

Cannot believe my great×25th grandma never had a baked potato. A life not well lived tbqh.

Was going to write to complain to an Alder about cars persistently lining up in the bike lane outside a car wash but it's Waguespack's ward and he's useless so 🥳

Officially the greatest citizen app alert of all time

Friends what should I do with this incredible windfall

Bend It Like Beckham is actually the gayest movie ever created and somehow u forget every time. Also "Jess. I'm Irish" deserves an award.

I love having community. I asked a group chat this morning to borrow a wedding guest dress with certain size/color/style specifications; by sundown, I had 5 offers and 2 dresses in hand and I ran to pick up one and biked to pick up the other.

I find it odd that they sell just the sour patch heads now and also they aren't as satisfying. But I did throw back this hand full anyway.

This is a choice every day. chicagoans don't have to live like this!!!!

IT'S BETTER LIVING IN A CITY.

New Goose Island, I don't make the rules (they do).

Stay classy, "ROWCHGO."

I always sit on the bendy part of the bendy boi for this reason

First of all, Covenant is confirming my bestie's opinion that the only shows worth seeing at Goodman are on the small stage. What a force. You should absolutely go see it. Really tight ensamble, beautiful staging.

CDOT needs to move the line for the protected left turn lane back like 20ft on eastbound Diversey crossing California to accommodate the southbound 93 bus' wide turning radius. Every time I've been through here, waiting cars have needed to back up or the bus won't fit.

Millennials women will never stop loving pairing sneakers with dresses istg. Someone stop us.

me, buying a book written by someone who I've never met but we sometimes like each other's posts on Bluesky: my friend wrote this

A24 in a landmark, nepos-only film.

I love a Cubs game for this. Addison becomes my personal bike highway.

Teenager on the bus: "buses are so nice. Like they're so convenient. It's so nice." From the mouths of babes.

In a shocking turn of events, Cubs fans on this bus are complaining about speed cameras in the city.

I recommended The Pillars of the Earth to my grandma recently and the last time we chatted on the phone she raved about how much she loved it. Most gratifying book recommendation of my life.

Finally got one of the Divvys with a new phone holder! I love it but I do wonder at how long they'll last--they seem like they're going to rip pretty easily.

The headline makes it sound like the bike or scooter just blew up on its own--when Block Club deigns to mention it was a driver in a Jeep who struck her, they say the Jeep "[was] being driven." Truly pathetic to tacitly blame a teen for her own death vis-a-vis the passive voice.

Any time a cyclist or pedestrian is struck here, the Archer Guardians should be named in the lawsuit.

This week I've had someone call me Cat on a call and another person respond to an email addressing me as Kate. I'm...over it. My name is not complicated!!!!!!!!! I was born in the 90s there are 12M Caitlins in this world!!!!!

I'm taking my spouse (who doesn't use bsky so don't tell him) on one of Quam's Albany Park tours for a secret date and I'm so excited!

Walking into the movie theater with my bike helmet and this man lights up and is like "wow you ride?? I used to ride!" I am baffled by this. Did he think it was a motorcycle helmet?? I have the most basic looking Giro imaginable.

biking is good.

If you like plants but are kind of a casual about it, I highly recommend an experiment pot. This one is on my coffee table and whatever cuttings/leaves that drop from my other plants go into it. It's like my little lab. If they do well, I repot for myself or friends.

A car crashed at 3AM on Irving Park Road, flipped--I definitely assume it was drunk driving because I was was up to hear very loud conversation as people headed to their cars. I'll never understand why people drive under the influence in the age of rideshares.

This is WILD. This could be so easily changed to bike or train usage if we didn't make DLSD hyperconvenient for drivers at the sacrifice of everyone else. The redline and LFT are right there!!!!
