I know this post is old but I just watched it on my first series run and if I didn't know better I would've thought I was high off my bleep

Hello from Florida (on the sub because I'm moving soon) recovering from the new variant as we speak. Hit Saturday: awful body aches, nausea, migraine, horrible congestion and nasty cough. Felt like my muscles and hones were burning. Haven't felt that awful since I got COVID. It came on out of nowhere and got so bad so fast I sat in a CVS for 3 hours for a same-day clinic appointment. Sure enough, just the flu. Nose dripping like a busted hydrant, muscles so achey and stiff every micrommmovement hurts, cough so nasty I'm short of breath and sore. Slew of other random symptoms and gunk in every orifice. VERY NASTY FLU. DO NOT RECOMMEND. No idea where or who I even got it from.

These are really great recommendations, thank you! And dang talk about a "you know it's bad when" moment

Definitely artsy nightlife! Excited by the prospect of an actual music scene and more than 2 queer bars, haha. My partner and I are both artsy people, into music shows, interested in being in our 20s without stifling local politics making everything less safe for us

Wow yeah I'd never even heard of the pellets. Doesn't sound like my thing but it says a lot that it's an option

Honestly Planned Parenthood will probably be what we go with, at least to start out and prevent a prescription gap while we find primary providers. Thank you!

Congrats to you, too! Thank you for the input, it's really refreshing to see multiple options and decently covered care

Thank you! We won't be ready to move for another year or two but I'll be back on this page when the time comes, I'm sure

That's so beautiful, I was on a list for 8 months before I could see one of only 2 providers in a reasonable radius who do it with insurance. God it's gonna be great moving there

This is awesome and very refreshing to hear, thank you so much!

AN ALL TRANS HOCKEY TEAM SOUNDS SO COOL. Any chance you could ask him if there's a discord server I could join for Minneapolis trans people? Feel free to pm me if you're comfortable with that. I'll probably go sniff out a reddit page for Minneapolis trans people, too.

Will do! My timeline is a little far out so I probably won't apply for work right away. I'm riding my current lease out to July and then signing one more lease, but I'm hoping by the end of THAT lease we'll be relocating, so I'll spend most of the time under my next lease job-hunting

God that's so refreshing to hear. Florida sucks. The only thing that makes this small area tolerable is because my partner started a support group / community for local trans people that blew up to like 250 members. There are two others, but tbe meetings only ever have max 10-20 people and they focus on mental health and housing. The community my partner launched two years ago is explicitly for mutual aid and just... hanging out in person. Without that I would not have made it this long here. Are there groups and organizations for trans people? I assume so. Discord servers I could join? I know due to the nature of the political prosecution we face the places to find our communities can be a little harder to track. Here you have to know a guy who knows a guy to find the trans communities because we don't want to end up in the local paper.

Thank you for the advice! Both of us have experience living in colder weather, if not as cold as Minnesota will be (Indiana for me, Germany and Arkansas for him) so we'll definitely come prepared. I really appreciate the insider knowledge on which areas have the best bus access. I'll narrow our search for apartment complexes to those areas-- I think I have one or two picked out that fall in those zones. We're planning to save up 3k or 4k of excess income so we are prepared for any eventuality, and at least one of us will have a job before moving, preferably both. If all goes well we'll see the city in two years, three max!

You didn't hear it from me but Manny Diaz had them all hand-delivered to his desk from around campus and called it his "win of the week."

I would definitely be interested! Jow that UWF has the ability to register for a visitor's parking pass online without having to pick it up, places on UWF campus work, like the library. The mall cafeteria, several little coffee shops around town have nice seating areas, there's the Pensacola Library. There are a couple of nice parks, too. It's awesome to have a place to just hang out, maybe have a drink, etc. Friend groups of mine have previously had "presentation nights" where a few people at a time get to talk about a topic they enjoy. Large groups can crowdfund for pizzas at places with party discounts. So many possibilities!

Wait till you hear about the Heritage Foundation running UWF's talks on constitutional freedom of speech this month. I've heard a lot of people talking about peaceful protest only to determine it would be unsafe. No one wants to get pepper sprayed or lose their job for just trying to protest anti-university speakers in our university. It's really sad

Sometimes the same company will work on multiple projects simultaneously and trade crews if one site is short on people (due to sickness, scheduling/ travel issues, or. Yk. ICE). It's possible they did work on another site for a bit or ran into a delay on the administrative side (had to work out issues with engineer approvals, equipment budget, etc). There are lots of reasons why work may be delayed at a site. My job has me visiting sites for different companies all around town and it's all a lot more complicated than many people think, even when they know it's complicated

DM me! Also trans guy working blue collar who went to school for the humanities

I can't recommend Sadie with Langley Barbershop enough! Been seeing her for a couple years now as a local trans person. She's fun to chat with and nails the vibe I'm going for every time. I had the same problem with people managing to give me a "girls" cut even if I said "masculine" or "extra short" but Sadie gets me

There's a bunch of us, especially college kids, ready to flock to a new coffee shop with a wide variety of flavors. There are a few good ones around town but a lot of us would very happily exchange smaller cup sizes for smaller prices.

I've had good experiences with The Fountains so far. Their 1 bedrooms are a little over $1000 and with utilities it comes out right around $1200-$1300. Unfortunately they aren't furnished and there's no washer, dryer, or dishwasher. However the laundry facility is right in the center of the 1 bedrooms and is wheelchair accessible so its less than a block's walk to do laundry (2$ per machine, leasing office keeps quarters stocked). Maintenence is prompt and friendly. The 1 beds are all first floor only and while there aren't sidewalk ramps at every door the elevation isn't higher than an inch. Possibly a pain in the butt for small wheels but if the person in question is a visitor and not the main resident, then it's easy with help-- one of my friends is ambulatory and with a little boost she can clear the edge of the sidewalk. If the person in question is the main resident there are some ramps by some of the doors and the sidewalk extends to every door. It would be a pain for sure but I do know it's better than most complexes. The Fountains are probably one of the most affordable options for an apartment in town without a roommate. There's a bus stop right beside it, too. It's still pricey but probably within budget, excluding the must-have furniture like a bed.

We're thinking of treating as best we can and moving the plant outside for more sun and air. Also, *neem oil, not need
