Hi all,

My original plans for someone to foster my cat for two weeks fell through over last weekend and I am homeless today so my cat and I had to sleep outside last night….

I have little money but I will pay someone to foster my cat. Pls??!

I don’t know how much longer this post gotta be and how something simple has to be so complicated.

Does anyone know of anyone who will foster my cat?

EDIT: I think I have something secured at the moment (it’s 12:30 PM) so it’ll be until after 7 tonight ill know for sure. Thank you all. Seriously. Thank you.

EDIT 2: amazing people in here. Got her situated well. Thank you and Thank you from Rene.

Avoid making the mistake of having to get a Chicago storage unit without checking what they mean

“1st Floor Unit = Unit located on ground level”

“10ft x 15ft (150 sq ft)
Amenities:
Self Storage, 1st Floor Unit, indoor access, Climate Controlled
Location:
Indoor Access, 1st Floor, Fully Enclosed”

Much earlier than the (this) weekend you have to move your stuff into a Chicago storage unit to find out that the “1st floor” means “the first full floor from the ground” because it used to be a Chicago warehouse that got converted in a storage unit, so first floor starts basically 3-6 feet from the ground

Tldr: check the storage unit and see how it’s laid out before buying into the internet deal without checking… now i gotta fight a flight of stairs or an elevator to get to the first floor…. God forgive my body, it’s already chipping away my “moving logic”…

05/28/26, 11:18 AM, two red line train back to back before north and clybourn (i got on at roosevelt), it literally took 20 mins to go from roosevelt to before north and clybourn. Train operator says nothing while we sit before we even get to north and clybourn.

How the fuck do CTA keep allowing trains and buses to be riding on each other’s asses like the Chicago jukebox dance instead of actually sending the front train/bus to run express when they used to do it right??

As a Deaf guy living in Chicago, I have to ask the Deaf community (our entire Deaf community), how many of you actually volunteer your time in participating in activities for the Deaf community?

I ask because I recently volunteered my time for Deaf youth activities (approximately 150 Deaf kids from elementary to middle school programs across the entire city of Chicago) and there was less than 2 handful of Deaf adults and the rest were hearing adults helping us make this activity happen for the ~150 Deaf kids who really didn’t know any ASL.

Instead of me being disappointed and frustrated by Deaf adults not being there for the Deaf kids, I just wanted to know if any of you at least volunteer your time once in your life for the Deaf community?

The look of the Deaf kids not being able to see Deaf adults being there because a hearing person is there for them instead, is what erodes the fabric of our community.

**Deaf adults: You should, could and hopefully would, be there for the Deaf kids (so our language, culture and community can persevere).**
