For example, nurses face many of the same stressors we do: disrespect, long hours, decision fatigue, difficult patients and caregivers, constantly increasing workload (patient caps, in their case). But nursing is more lucrative than teaching, and I think, as a result, more nurses are willing to write those negatives off (at least somewhat).

These stressors seem disproportionate to us given how poorly paid we are. So I ask, is there a salary that would make disrespectful students, difficult parents, incompetent administrators, and lack of consequences for student behavior feel “worth it”? Or at the very least, you could rationalize it as “just part of the job”? Or is there no salary that makes these issues tolerable?

At the skyscrapers lining Michigan avenue and beyond?

The fact we have some of the best public transit in the country

We get to live on the coast man -idgaf chicago coastal city

And the free zoo

So many amazing neighborhoods that get so much attention here

But also ones that don’t - like Little village. Beautiful gem of a neighborhood. La Cocina de Irma? Fantastico. El faro? Amazing.

As I walked through Piotrowski park a few days ago - I couldn’t help but marvel at what a cultural landmark that neighborhood is

But also areas that even local consider scary like Back of the Yards - try grano panaderia and cafe fr or dream catcher cafe that shit is GAS

Bronzeville’s legit too

South Shore hella beautiful

Logan Wicker bucktown dope too I will give them their flowers

Andersonville AMAZING

Lincoln Park bursting from the seams with restaurants

Like damn this really is one of the most economically and logistically important cities in the world and we get to live in it

And it’s like kind of affordable too?

Sorry y’all I’m zooted and it’s making me really emotional about Chicago. I’m never leaving this place man

Just finished re-reading the series for the first time in several years and I just want to make sure I have the logic of why Harry survived at the end of Deathly Hallows correct:

1. Lily’s sacrifice gave Harry protection from being harmed by Voldemort. At this point, Avada Kedavra against Harry would have just rebounded and hit Voldemort, just like it did in Godric’s Hollow (i.e at any point before Voldemort is resurrected in the Graveyard in GoF).

2. To circumvent this protection, Voldemort takes Harry’s blood in GoF, allowing him to touch Harry and cast Avada Kedavra at him

3. But, because Lily’s sacrifice lives on in Voldemort’s body, Harry cannot die while Voldemort lives.

So taking Harry’s blood allows for Avada Kedavra to hit Harry and temporarily “kill” him, eliminating this particular mode of protection that saved Harry in Godric’s Hollow as a baby, where the curse just rebounded.

But because Harry’s blood runs through Voldemort, it also tether’s Harry to life while Voldemort is alive, because Lily’s sacrifice lives on through Voldy’s body. This is why only the horcrux in Harry is eliminated and Harry’s given the choice to come back to life.

Logically I suppose this makes sense, but idk, it feels…clunky. Like taking Harry’s blood eliminates the protection that prevents him from being touched/cursed but also saves him from being killed because it’s running through Voldy’s veins?
