Hello World! I migrated to the bigshoulders instance since mastodon.social was a bit too crowded and I was looking for a more local feel to my feed #Chicago

We are pleased to announce the birth of our son Viraj Jain-Bala! He and Mumma are healthy and we all are overjoyed. We have come so far from that day we met in August 2014. We have come together and built a good life of respect, love, and joy. Now we are embarking on something very new, scary, and exciting. All three of us will now build something new and wonderful together. Wish us luck!

Am pleased to announce that @dohappybelove and I are now parents! Our little one is named Viraj and he is a little cuddly ball of cuteness. We are overjoyed (and exhausted)! Looking forward to sharing more stories as this journey goes on. Feel free to follow our common account as well if you want more ramblings - @bunvoyage17

Here's a new #introduction for my #newinstance
I'm Pat, a 60-something guy in the suburbs of #Chicago, #USA. I'm #Catholic, love #boxing (and box for exercise myself). I'm a #foodie and love to #cook, #bake, and make #bbq for my friends and family. I'm also a bit of a nerd, and you can find me here on #Mastodon, instead of all the corporately-entangled social media.

Hey everyone! Time for an #introduction
I'm a middle-aged guy into #VideoGames, #Chicago, #cycling, #tech, #photography, making people laugh, and I'm working on #Twitch #streaming. I believe #BLM, #TransRights are #HumanRights, and #equity for all.
This is my 100% gaming alt, my main/personal is @chartier.
Speaking of mains: I play #Destiny2 and love to help people learn raids and other endgame content. I play lots of other stuff too, and I'm glad you're here.
🎮 🥃 ❤️
You and me both, corndog. You and me both. #StreetPhotography #chicago
Intro post: #chicago dad into #cycling, #cubs, #urbanism, #chicagopolitics. On track to bike about 1500 miles in 2022. Day job: head of product at Augintel, which uses #nlp to mine insights from patient notes, to help clinicians in social services and health care better understand and serve their clients. Spent 10 years in #nyc. Born/raised in #Iowa.
I took some time this week to collect a few albums of my favorite shots from 2024-ish. http://jimlindstrom.com/portfolio/index.html #photography #NightPhotography #chicago
If you are in #Chicago and especially if you are at University of Illinois Chicago, students are hosting a rally to defend gender affirming care at Noon on Thursday, February 6th.
The organizers have multiple reports that #UIC is complying in advance with Trump's agenda by halting gender-affirming care for #transgender students.
This rally is an early opportunity to voice resistance to the Musk/Trump/Vance administration and stand up to protect transgender rights.

Hi, if you're in #Chicago and you or anyone know you is at risk for #Deportation, the group Organized Communities Against Deportation has a hotline where you can report #ICE raids or other bullshit.
Re- #intro / #introduction I am a software engineer from #Chicago. I am an organizer of the Chicago Kotlin User Group. On fediverse since 2017. I'm interested in #linux #java #javaFX #kotlin #spring. I'm a critic of #agile: https://wakingrufus.neocities.org/fail-agile.html
I used to talk tech at @wakingrufus@mastodon.technology, but since that instance ended, I have consolidated my identity here. I also talk about #StarTrek, film, gaming, politics, music, and Chicago.
BTW, since other people are making this offer, I thought I'd also put it out there - I'm an ordained minister (via the ULC church,) I've officiated six weddings and one civil union and only fucked up the paperwork on the very first one (sorry @DevelopingSean)
If you're in the #Chicago area and are feeling the need to get hitched with a quickness in the next month or two for some reason or another, it would be my pleasure to say words and sign papers for you (edit: for free of course, this is not a solicitation for gig work)

Very long story short but I had to take a train to Arkansas to pick up my wife’s car. Happened to get to Chicago for a huge snow day. Pretty proud of this photo. It’s a color photo! #b&wphoto #photography #chicago
Two of my coworkers took #Amtrak's new (temporary) service for its inaugural run all the way from Chicago to Miami a few days ago.
All 48+ hours of it.
In coach, because public media isn't exactly flush with cash.
Here's what they saw and experienced along the way:

Flying to #Chicago to meet the other half of my team for the first time in 6 years. Anyway, where's a good (veggie) breakfast recommendation near Lincoln Park?
