Community Organizing. Building. Growing. Cooking. Eating. Imbibing. Celebrating. Not necessarily in that order. Often simultaneously.
And having an economic system based on the premise of infinite growth is also a choice...

Yes, we're awesome, now please go away. We don't want our rent to go up.

Boiling rage. I've lived 1/2 block from there for a decade. The day laborers who gather at that intersection are just looking to work and earn a living, and they don't bother anyone. (Plus, when I hired a couple to help with yard work, they did great jobs!)

In Chicago, we're still breathlessly awaiting a legal ruling that's supposed to be announced tomorrow about the legality of the deployment here. The judge declined to block it in the interim.

If she's worried about tear gas, she can bring a bottle of saline, swim goggles, and a respirator or mask or bandana. When scared, it's normal to want to crouch down, but tear gas is heavier than air and thus thicker close to the ground, so don't listen to that crouching instinct.

What's tasteless is the cowardly way politicians and media outlets lined up to call the person behind the Professor Watchlist a "Champion of Free Speech."

)Sudden intrusive thought: Anyone following this thread in hopes of thinspo is certainly thoroughly icked by this point. Sorry, folks!)

Have you explored what your blender can do to get rid of textures? It's been a god send for me with the soups. I get them nice and drinkably smooth.

Hey, I know someone who can't chew due to a neuromuscular issue who's survived on those for years now. She gets enough calories to do wheelchair marathons.

In terms of meds, they have me on ondansetron and cannabis gummies, and they just started me on olanzapine. Jury's still out on that one- I can eat, but I'm super tired and brain foggy. Right now, I just use it on the 2 worst days.

One thing I've had to let go of was my healthy "clean" eating habits. Friend, we're not gonna live to 80 no matter what. Any food you can actually get down is good for you at this point.

Everyone is different, but for me the trusty foods are instant mashed potatoes, pureed lentil soup, and oatmeal cooked until it's almost more like a pudding.

The noodle thing is problematic - it's your body responding to calorie deficit. My oncologist set the goal to get rid of noodle mode. She of course suggested the brat diet. And soup, lots of soup. And protein shakes. Supplements when I can handle them, but sometimes they're too hard to swallow.

My bad days are also consecutive and lead to being a "horizontal noodle" (love that description!) Tho mine also comes with diarrhea, and my cycle is 30 days. I was in fast mode for 1 week of 4 and a noodle for 4 days. Now, we got out down to 2 days of fasting with 1 day as a noodle.

Hi, fellow cancer patient here who's undergone 5 years of immunotherapy. I'd love to share advice from my oncologist but first must ask: Are the days when you can't eat consecutive? Is there diarrhea or vomiting involved, or just fasting? Also, do the non-eating days make you feel weak and wobbly?

I'm pretty sure it's Taste of Chicago. You can tell the trucks are parked along a park - probably Grant Park.

Please be more specific in the future. There are like 20 locations of that store.

Mock and ridicule them for masking

Ask how it feels to be hated by everyone in town

Ask if this is what they thought this assignment would be like

Ask if they really want to be here

Ask if they'd rather be home where they live with family and friends instead of being hated here
