Chicagosky! Do you or somebody you know need an AC unit coming up, but can’t really afford it right now? RESOURCE

Chicaaaaaaaagoski 🌭

pls tell me this is pronounced chickuhGOEski & comes with a polish w mustard

I came here to say I read that with a Polish accent.

"Mike Chicagosky? Great guy. We used to go to Cubs games in the summer. His mom made the best pierogies."

I knoo 'is sister Linda she useta work at da jools

I don’t even know if y’all are from Chicago but I’m enjoying this immensely lol

My mom also says the Jewels

Half of my family are all "Michiana" people. I remember taking the South Shore into the city as a kid on summer days.

I’m having a good laugh in Scotland. 😉

no for me, just a medium-smallish New England city -- I always joke my hometown was half polish half Italian and half black, and since I'm none of the 3, I learned a lot of codeswitchy shit without realizing it til I hit the wider world

my one regret is I didn't go for the š or scz sound over the flat ess

It would be ‘sz’ (shhh), if I understand what you mean correctly.

yeah, plus a solid chance that middle C is an ess sound. the kids from my high school soccer team who taught me polish cuss words are disappointed in me rn.

If you need a refresher course we are here to help!

I want some kielbasa to spread that mustard on!

This is amazing! I have elderly neighbors who could use this sort of assistance.

Do you need gently used AC units? I might have 2.

Same here––@kellybdevoe.bsky.social do you know about donations?

Generally places likes this don’t take in-kind donations but you can def check! I’m sure cash is what they are looking for

So true!

Their Instagram says to text the number to schedule a pickup for donations and that they are in need of ACs to keep up with demand!

💖 thanks

Thank you!

Oh it’s not me! I would check with them, it’s just a resource I’m sharing

I didn’t really realize this post would go as mini-viral as it has. So I’m sure they can always accept donations haha!!

hey good on you for sharing! seems to be a lot of chicago residents(or former in my case) on here, and the summers are only getting warmer, makes sense people are sharing lol

Yeah it’s really Chicago-heavy here! It’s so awesome and bizarre

their link in the bio isn't working for me but I messaged them an hour ago to ask what's up

As a researcher who works on heat-related mortality, I wish I could like this more than once.

Wow

This will literally save lives if vulnerable people get the message and act on it--that's the tricky part. Many at-risk people don't see themselves as vulnerable to extreme heat for a variety of reasons.

@hugbox.bsky.social @ccwithcoffee.bsky.social you're my Chicago peeps!

What an awesome bunch of people. Elderly people in particular will be very vulnerable on extremely hot days.

This is a cool thing to do, but... 443? That's a Maryland area code! What gives?!

The contact number is probably just someone in the organization's mobile phone. I haven't live in the area code of my phone for over a decade now. (Super handy, because scammers all spoof "local" numbers, so I know to ignore them.)

what a great organization!

This is going to save lives. That this exists (and for WA as well) gives me some *hope* for us.

This is seriously badass and awesome.

Is there a way to donate used, but functional units to the group. I have a extra window air i could donate.

wow. this is so cool. oh, look, made a pun, and totally didn't even see it til I typed it out.
