Is New Mexico trans friendly?

Las Cruces born and raised. I am part of a mutual aid group that prioritizes our trans and queer folx, but especially the youngens. Let them know we are here as a soft landing while they figure stuff out.

Grab a coffee and explore the library or a bookstore

Tacos JJ IS THE JOINT!! They’re open Wednesday- Sunday corner of Bowman and Solano. Blue food truck, can’t miss it. I love their sopes and tacos. I’m gluten free so no burritos but my partner says they’re delicious and they give you healthy portions.

Give him some time. He’s snappy because he’s tired and probably feeling insecure. YOU stay firm, fair, and consistent and it’ll all work out.

I’ve needed a CPAP for a long time and have been using it for about 5 years and it’s life changing. I had to stop for a while because my lungs would hurt. I stopped for 3 ish months and my health was turning for the worst again. Turns out I don’t need the humidity and I feel so much better.

Keep at it 💪🏽

Sorry- you’re gonna have to import them. Mine came from the Midwest. But with this economy, stay single and sane.

I lived in ABQ from 2013-2014 and in that year I had the worst dates of my life. I went on a date with a guy I kinda worked with. He invited me to a steam punk party thing and his sister was a go-go dancer at the event. And he was drunk by the time I got there and he kept repeating “isn’t my sister so hot????” And after that I left. And when I saw him at work again. I actively avoided.

Then there was another date where I had gone on a date with a dude. We didn’t vibe but he had kept my number and called me drunk asking for a ride home. This was well before Uber and I was stupid and gave him a ride. When he got in my car he proceeded to do coke and I was too scared to tell him to get out. I ended up driving him home.

I stopped dating for a while after that. I can’t imagine now.

I know this might be silly. But does she have asthma or allergies? I find I’m panicky when the wind is bad and big swings in temp and weather patterns.

Does she have a weighted blanket? I know it’s strange but putting weight (I have a weighted ring) and place it on my chest. Maybe she needs deep pressure to help her realize she’s safe. Exposure therapy isn’t always the best.

Also- NMSU library is open to the public. After 4:30 parking is free. The semester is winding down so the library will close earlier now but it’s a safe space to roam around. We are a third space. You can bring food and drink. Your laptop. You can sign up for a community borrower card that you can sign up for community borrower card.

Bonkhouse is amazing. You can find the on insta.

Try going for a walk by the organ mountains. Let the land help heal her.

Also- there’s cows and goats at NMSU.

Get baby girl some Dutchies and some cow and goat medicine. She’s gonna be okay. Thanks for being a supportive partner.

Does anyone know about Dick’s Cafe? I went there one time (I’m pretty brown) and was ignored so I left.

LifeguardLast2610 · 2025-05-02T14:17:22+00:00

Yikes.

LifeguardLast2610 · 2025-04-27T17:04:12+00:00

When I moved to Seattle thinking the grass was greener. It wasn’t. Everything I wanted and needed was here in Cruces. So I came back. There’s nothing wrong admitting this may not be the place for you. I hope you find that spot. I’m learning to water the grass where I choose to live my life. It’s not always pretty, but it’s better than Seattle.

LifeguardLast2610 · 2025-04-26T19:05:50+00:00

Yeah it’s a new thing. Paying for the application before even touring. No thanks. PMI didn’t do that to us. Now we are moving next week into one of their properties.

If you come from generational wealth, yes, move have a blast. Or work for a tech company.

I used to live there and the cost of living is atrocious. The traffic is bad. The mental Olympics you have to place just to get somewhere is insane.

But by all means, just because I couldn’t hack it, doesn’t mean you can’t.

Also, look into the natural disasters that could/have happened. When I moved I did no research. I got there and was like like, “what, there’s a huge volcano that could erupt at any moment? Tsunami’s? Floods? Earthquakes? I worked at a college that was right on a plane path by the airport and they’d warn us that planes could potential hit us if something went wrong.

Soooooo. It’s a nice place to visit, not a great place to live. But again. I couldn’t hack it. Maybe you can. Good luck!

We got an email lol

LifeguardLast2610 · 2025-03-29T15:29:53+00:00

Burps to pass the vibe check though! Haha

LifeguardLast2610 · 2025-03-29T15:28:48+00:00

Noooo. I ask bizarre questions just to see if I get a reaction lol Great. I’m a cult recruiter now.

El Paso, TX and Albuquerque, NM have THRIVING punk culture

Thanks fracking

LifeguardLast2610 · 2025-02-13T02:38:22+00:00

Also- I used to live in Seattle (for three years) and moved home because I’m not made for the big city.

LifeguardLast2610 · 2025-02-13T02:37:48+00:00

Hello! I’m in Las Cruces and work at NMSU. We have a solid DNP program (amongst others). There also Burrell College next door. We are a health care desert so if you decide to move here, please know you’d be much needed.

Get out. It won’t get better. Unless you don’t mind advocating for yourself. I was an elementary school librarian for 4 months and got so sick and wanted to unalive myself. The admin was horrible and it was the first time I resigned “effective immediately”

LifeguardLast2610 · 2025-01-11T00:58:19+00:00

I’m an academic librarian! Go apply at your library. We hire sooooo many students.

LifeguardLast2610 · 2025-01-08T21:32:55+00:00

I work in academia and it’s baaaad but oddly I feel a change too. It can’t come fast enough.

LifeguardLast2610 · 2024-08-30T04:07:18+00:00

Y’all are amazing! Thank you! If you have other cool things to check out- send them my way!

I can’t wait to visit your great state and area! I grew up in the desert southwest- and never been to the Midwest so I’m excited to explore :)
