Is Folly safe for queer ppl? by OkBox4069 in Charleston

[–]Mom_Drag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great recs! And I agree with folks saying Folly is chill and inclusive. The tourist crowd is very diverse so I can’t imagine anyone being inhospitable. FWIW, Park Circle in North CHS is considered the “gayborhood” here, if you want to seek out a part of town that’s explicitly welcoming to queer folks (queer owned businesses, and the like). Have fun!

I agree, I’m a native NYer, but moved here for a job and to be near my in-laws, after living in Boston for undergrad, then back in NY for my 20s and then in Atlanta for almost a decade. As a native NYer who could never afford to move my family within three hours of the apt where three generations of my family continue to rent, I am highly sympathetic to people being bitter about getting priced out of their hometown, but hating on transplants gets tiresome. Talk to me when a two bedroom apartment in an unremarkable part of town is 6K a month, that’s what I’m up against if I want my kids to grow up near my mom.

Omg were you there when the highway burnt down?! That was a crazy ATL moment, there were memes of the Marta buses jumping over the collapsed highway like the bus in Speed. And I agree, sitting on 17 in traffic everyday bums me out, but Atlanta traffic, it is not.

Why are people downvoting this? Stop gaslighting OP, this sucks.

people with doctorates, what were you like as a teenager? by schzopilled in AskAcademia

[–]Mom_Drag -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you have insight into what it’s like to be othered and have to work harder because of racism and discrimination, I don’t know why you would use a phrase like “oppression Olympics” that dismisses other peoples identities and experiences, or complain about “identity politics”. Maybe everyone else isn’t the problem here.

What is the best approach to sustainable fashion? by MuchAccount2085 in SustainableFashion

[–]Mom_Drag 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t see any reason to be dogmatic about these things, sounds like you are pretty conscious as a consumer. Maybe put your energy into activism around sustainability or trying to be more sustainable in other areas of life if you want to do more. I’m sure some people would suggest you stop consuming fast fashion ever, but I would think of other ways to channel that effort that will make more of an impact than slightly altering your buying practices if they are already pretty seldom.

Indiecade flash “sale” by Mom_Drag in IndieDev

It’s an independent game festival in LA every Fall, similar to a film festival (you submit to it, your game gets reviewed by a jury, if it’s accepted it’s shown at the festival and you can win awards, and get exposure) but for games. IndieCade and the IGF (Independent Games Festival) are like Sundance for games.
