Hey Chicago renters, as we're about to enter another polar vortex, the Chicago Heat Ordinance requires that, if you do not have an individual thermostat in your unit, your landlord must keep your unit above 68 during the day and 65 at night. If your unit is too cold call 311.
Student loan hack: not only are standard Fed loans eligible, but so are parent PLUS loans.
That means a family could 2x or 3x their loan cancellation 💸

By today’s standards, most US families would have be deemed undocumented or trafficked at some point in their family history.
For the most part, people didn’t need lawyers and years of processing to come to this US until immigration became a racialized issue. Remember that
Today, the Supreme Court issued a ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, undermining 50+ years of individual liberty, bodily autonomy, and gender equality rights.
We’ll be blunt – people will die because of this decision.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court just overturned Roe v. Wade, ending our constitutional right to abortion. We know you may be feeling a lot of things right now — hurt, anger, confusion. Whatever you feel is OK. We’re here with you — and we’ll never stop fighting for you.
Today is the last day Illinois’ harmful Parental Notice of Abortion law will be enforced. During the past nearly 9 years more than 625 young people have had a judge decide if they can access abortion. Starting tomorrow this will no longer be the case.
More people were shot and killed in America over Memorial Day weekend than are killed by guns in Japan and the UK combined during an average year. It’s not video games, lack of prayer, or too many doors that caused that. It’s guns. It’s always guns.
The thing about having "guns" as your hobby, is that if my hobby had turned into the number one reason of death for children, I would just find another hobby.
I had an abortion when i was 19 and I’ve never felt comfortable talking about it online. People have terrifying opinions on the topic and even now I’m scared to speak about it. We talk about destigmatizing a lot of things but we desperately need to destigmatize abortion.
I just realized my non-US friends probably don't know how US insurance works.
So lets say your employer offers insurance. They pay a portion and then you pay a portion. For a family, the employee pays on average about $400 per pay cycle, or $10,400 per year.
do not let “this is the best i’ve ever had” keep you in a place, a job, or a relationship that is no longer for you. it may be the best you’ve ever had but that does not mean it’s as good as it gets. there is more. believe in more.
