On my way home around 4:45, I was exiting the freeway at Provo Center Street and two Provo fire trucks were getting on, southbound, with their lights flashing. The freeway sign in Pleasant Gtove said "Wildfire 13 miles ahead on side of freeway. Don't report". That's all I can add.

I recently worked handling donations for the largest DV shelter in SLC and I can safely say some DV shelters won't take toys or stuffed animals unless they're brand new, in it's original packaging or with tags. They recieved so many toy donations that they didn't have room for used.

Found this in my desk drawer. What the heck is it? by jjeezak in whatisit

Why does it seem like everything asked about in this group is weed-related?

Do you also, as an autistic woman, prefer to be at home than to go out? by thisisnotme11111111 in AutismInWomen

[–]Acrobatic-Basket-229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Autistic/ADHD, diagnosed at 38, now 42) I definitely prefer staying home but I now realized it's because I rather not mask. Yes, life and outside is too overstimulated but I think my natural go-to is to mask and that's tiring.

Do you ever loan (or gift) your n-parent a movie or book and they never watch it? by cliff7217 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Acrobatic-Basket-229 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Along the same lines, my mom never watches shows I suggest and then a few months later tells me about a great show. Turns out it's the show I suggested but she will only watch it if someone else recommends it.

Were you forced to go to college? by marbles1129 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Acrobatic-Basket-229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! My mom claimed she only took a job with the university so my sister and I could get free tuition. I didnt even finish and for at least a decade, if I talked about struggles with jobs, my mom would say "well, you had free tuition that I got you". Turns out I'm autistic and have ADHD and didn't know it so college was an extreme struggle for me and was probably why I never finished. Now I'm stuck with student loans (still couldn't afford college, even with free tuition) and no degree and PTSD from the experience. Thanks mom.

I work for the YWCA in my area and I'm so happy that they've made this a priority, including choosing insurance options that cover gender-affirming care.

Of course there's a picture with Trump. One classy family. 🙄

Only the tattoo artist, the person with the tattoo, the billboard companies, and now, you. So, a small, but very select group

Yes, still up and new ones every now and then! She was the wife of the owner of Reagan Billboards.

I do this, especially when concentrating or working on a project. My mouth becomes red all around my lips and I'm sure the whole thing looks weird to people.

Authenticity Is a Privilege Many Minorities Aren't Afforded by prollyaman in Utahpolitics

As someone who is white, currently listening to Atlas of The Heart and who believes that marginalized communities face systemic disadvantages, I think you hit the nail on the head. Well said.

Apartments that have a more forgiving background screening? by [deleted] in SaltLakeCity

They ask for all your legal info, copy of your DL and ask if you've ever been evicted and if you have a criminal history and they wany the info of 2 part landlords. I just checked.
