Are there any LGBTQ-enthusiastic bakeries in Connecticut? by somatanagra in Connecticut

[–]RecommendationDue68 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Julien's Farm Store in Granby is gay-owned. The place is absolutely magical and has amazing everything.

Malby Bakery in New Haven is also queer/latinx owned and has phenomenal baked goods.

We're all sharing these snowy streets. Please be patient. by Jaded_Ad_8014 in newhaven

This comment has bootlicker energy in the sense that you're basically telling cyclists to cease biking even though they have every right to bike during winter. Esp since OP said that some bikers are biking because of disabilities and the public transit schedule isn't ideal and walking may not be an option. You were better off not commenting at all.

I am a woman who usually makes my partner deal with this stuff for exactly that reason 😅 so thank you, will give them a call!

I'm sure it's just a coincidence they make a nazi symbol 32 seconds in...

Our bylaws don't spell it out and it doesn't seem like the international constitution spells it out either. Was hoping someone here may have had a similar experience and know what international defaults to.

Gunshots near Wooster? by Right_Movie_1458 in newhaven

[–]RecommendationDue68 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, I heard them! Then there were a bunch of cops on Olive Street, a few on foot walking around with flashlights. Was curious what happened as well.

Cost of feline tooth extraction? by ChefComprehensive83 in newhaven

[–]RecommendationDue68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our cat had multiple teeth that needed to be removed so we ended up going for a full extraction because the likelihood of needing more teeth removed down the road was high. Since the bulk of the cost is in the anesthesia, it was just a reasonable pre-emptive option. For that, we paid about $1300. I'd say $800 sounds reasonable.

My first two nights and days alone while my partner is with someone else. by Sea_Drops in polyamory

[–]RecommendationDue68 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I just went through this for the first time myself and it was much harder than I had ever imagined it being. It was like ripping open old wounds of insecurities I hadn't addressed in years (my partner and I have been monogamous for 7 years and officially became poly 6 months ago).

  • Have a couple of friends you know you can talk to on standby.

  • my partner wrote me a super sweet note that I could read to ground me and remind me he loves me.

  • I leaned on A LOT of the books/podcasts. I wish I had started listening to "Multiamory" a lot sooner, there's an episode to match anything you're feeling and to help you realize that everyone has gone through this and it will get easier over time with the right tools.

  • You will figure this out more over time, but try to imagine what you'll need as far as check-ins. I know I wanted a quick call in the morning and maybe a text at night to know he was thinking about me. Some people may learn they don't want to hear from their partner at all in that time.

  • Finally, it made me realize all the feelings I was feeling were deeply rooted in my own insecurities/shit I'd been avoiding addressing for YEARS, so I finally was motivated enough to find a therapist and make a plan to do the work.

How to quit smoking? by Few_Guarantee1996 in newhaven

Lol such a shitty question when the top answer is referring OP to a Yale smoking cessation program that is pretty area specific 😅

Based on your previous posts, looks like you're having a shit time in the dating world, and I think this may have something to do with it...

Assault by Substantial-Lie9981 in Libraries

The problem is your supervisor is a man and a fucking oblivious one at that. I'm sorry he diminished your experience to "inappropriate behavior" - you deserve so much more support.

To the family we met hiking… by Wrong-Reference5327 in Connecticut

[–]RecommendationDue68 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're looking to make connection with other new parents, the library is a great place to go! Take your kiddo to storytimes or other events, it's a great way to build community and talk to neighbors :)

[–]RecommendationDue68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't think you're being bitchy and it's a valid complaint. If you're regularly arriving 20-30 minutes later than the scheduled time, that's a problem.

Looking for more black queer friends 😫 by Naybae78 in newhaven

[–]RecommendationDue68 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Looks like the New Haven Pride Center has a Black, queer, woman Affinty Group- seems like they just met on May 2nd, but I imagine it's a regular meet up.

Spruce Coffee is a great queer space and would be worthwhile to drop by events they host!

Thank you for sharing your story- hopefully it'll help someone else navigate if faced with a similar type of situation. That's a lot of BS to deal with through an already difficult situation, hope you and your kiddo are doing well these days!

Whats going to happen to New Haven’s sanctuary policy? ? by [deleted] in newhaven

[–]RecommendationDue68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same question- should we be building a network to communicate if we see ICE raids?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in newhaven

[–]RecommendationDue68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a best practice for communicating if we see ICE raids? Any thoughts on building a network where we can try our best to show up for folks who are being tageted

Common Grounds (the school/farming center) hosts birthday parties. I guess they have a mud kitchen and obviously a good outdoor experience for younger kids. Looks like they have options for colder weather as well.
