as a sidenote, it's very sad that I can't find a gifset showing just how incredibly handsome bashir salahuddin is in South Side, because he is.

Can you tell me about your alien encounter? Very interested

I wish it was a more exciting story (it was of course very exciting for me to witness it tho) but yes I can tell u. I'm sure I've told it before on here many times but not lately. anyways at about 1 am a couple yrs ago I saw what initially appeared to be two yellow lights hovering around in the alley behind my house while I was out on the deck about to light up a joint (crucially, this would have been my first joint in days-I was not remotely intoxicated at the time). the first thing my mind jumped to in order to explain it was fireflies, but the lights didn't flicker more importantly it was like 10 degrees fahrenheit outside, the middle of a midwestern winter, so that was quickly ruled out. after a few seconds of me watching them they merged into one larger yellow light then disappeared entirely.

then after about 15 seconds of me staring out at the ally in shock, a single red light came zooming towards me, maneuvering over the fence smoothly then shooting right through the yard in my general direction very quickly. once it was about 10ft away from me it disappeared into thin air just as the yellow lights had had. there was no noise the way you would expect from a drone, & though it was nighttime it was bright enough w/the streetlights & porch light for me to see that there was nothing there, so whatever it was hadn't just turned the lights off but had zoomed off so quickly that to my eyes it looked like it disappeared into thin air.

my theory is that they were the small satellites of a mothership that was probably hovering somewhere above bc they were too small to have actually contained aliens. but I know they were not of this world. most ppl I tell just default to the "oh it was drones" despite drones not being silent, able to merge with each other, or able to accelerate to an incredibly quick speed instantaneously. anyways, not the most exciting story in the world but it was rly cool & has been profoundly impactful in my life. I have always been a UFO freak, since I was a kid, so seeing alien tech w/my own eyes is one of the coolest things I've ever experienced

BRIDGEPORT — A “remarkably rotund” and likely pregnant beaver is living, eating and knocking down trees around the Southwest Side— and environmental nonprofit Urban Rivers is looking to name it.

Lori Heavyfoot, Southside Large Marge, Dam Ryan, Sufjan Beavens and Sigourney Beaver are some top contenders suggested by

While the beaver is likely extra “spherical” because of its likely pregnancy, it’s been larger than average for longer than a beaver pregnancy lasts — which is typically two to three months, Meyer said. Urban Rivers volunteers aren’t able to weigh the beaver, but this particularly robust rodent can be heard on camera waddling across the dock and cracking ice beneath its paws, he said.

Its shape, it’s just so spherical, so round,” Meyer said. “Normally they’re a little more streamlined, able to move through the water. They look a little more agile. And this one, it’s just a beach ball and waddling around real slow.

“It feels like a deep-dish Bridgeport resident.”

Wesley’s plan is to take about 20 or so of his favorite potential names and run them by Urban Rivers’ volunteers and beaver researcher Sammie Clark for a vote, he said. You can contact Urban Rivers here to submit names.

The winning name will likely be announced whenever the mother beaver gives birth, in celebration of its new litter, Wesley said. Runners-up will likely get passed onto the children, assuming this is a pregnancy, he said.

The group has observed this particular family, with an abnormally globular beaver as its matriarch, on the South and West Sides for at least a year now, Wesley said. The beaver family been caught on tape by Urban Rivers’ various “camera traps,” a monitoring system the organization has been expanding in recent months — though they’ve likely been here longer, he said.

Beavers are “very territorial by family,” so they’ll stay together until one of them dies or until the kids peel off and find their own home base, Wesley said.
