Literally not a Midwesterner unless your fam has stored Swedish meatballs in a Cool Whip container.
The family legend is my mom is pretty thrifty, so she doesn’t really buy Tupperware but reuses containers. Always a todo finding lids, you never know what’s really in the freezer. One year we got out the cool whip for Uncle Gordie to have with his pie and it was actually leftover Swedish meatballs.

Cis allies can pair up and call the authorities on each other for being trans in a public bathroom, exhaust due process until medical records are subpoenaed, and tire the cops with it until they complain so much about enforcing it that they stop bothering, like they did for non-crime hate incidents.
Anyone can be banned then. I've been mistaken for a man, a trans man and a trans woman before.
It's encumbent on all of us to make this as unworkable as possible.

Chicago is a truly great city. The perfect mix of homey and cosmopolitan. We’ve got good home cooking from around the globe, people who don’t just want to be in a city but want to be in their neighborhood in their city, and a vibe that’s both no-nonsense and neighborly. I’d die to defend it.
