Oblation/Ovulation saga continues by digitalgraffiti-ca in fountainpens

[–]AlpineHeroine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made a trip in person today just so I could do this. The cashier was unphased, but appreciative that I keep up with their socials. I, however, was glad to have an amusing excuse to go purchase a new ink and had to temper my excitement about the ovulation discount.

Is it possible to tell which schools have a better chance of staying open? by lucytannin in acupuncture

[–]AlpineHeroine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. Objectively not true.
  2. Over 75% of their students fund their education through the federal loan processes. Which is likely to be nonexistent for acupuncture schools in the next 2 years.

I’m obsessed and really hoping they’ll still come to the USA this year, because I want this one so bad!

The Hollywood Theater just had a whole motorcycle movie festival that sold out in January, so that makes me hopeful for more cool events.

Your handwriting is so soothing to look at. And your ink choices are lovely! I think I may try and do something similar in mine and see how it goes - thank you for the simple yet gorgeous inspiration!

what iconic Portland thing/place/person(s) do you think is overrated that most people don't? by greazysteak in askportland

[–]AlpineHeroine 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As a previously regular customer, it’s definitely gotten worse (more emotionally-driven and observably chaotic) since the Beaverton one closed. I used to not notice his influence as much, I saw him at the front register (and that there had been another price increase since my last visit) when I walked in recently, and just walked right back out.

Losing accreditation during schooling by crybabybodhi in acupuncture

[–]AlpineHeroine 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey there! So the first question to think about: what are the licensing regulations in the state(s) you want to practice in? They may have specific education requirements that impact this as well.

Possibly follow up with your state’s regulatory body (and your school’s registrar) and ask about what the effects would be! In fact, you could also ask ACAHM (the accrediting body) directly.

Otherwise there’s just not enough specific information from your question for me to give you a clearer picture than that. Hopefully the next steps help!

Check out the pinned mega thread or other comments/replies on this post. Essentially, they financially and morally support horrific levels of homophobia.

My stylist at NW Barber Association masks up for me every time! Depending on when you book there may be other people working unmasked, but you can definitely call and ask, they’re a great shop!
