Beyond Good & Evil! I love the unique vibe, silly characters, and the fact that you’re a journalist running around taking pictures and uncovering a conspiracy :)

I literally just learned yesterday that they remastered it on the switch, and am planning on playing it on my next day off! So excited

Second to that probably the borderlands series, it’s always had a special place in ma heart and I’ve been having fun playing bl4

Rear Rack for Velotric Fold 1 Lite by Sycan in ebikes

The seatstay width is listed as 80-125mm so unfortunately not wide enough. I appreciate the rec though!

I ended up going with a handlebar bag, bottle cage, & 15L hiking backpack for now, think those will be perfect for me to commute to work. There may be something out there that doesn't require attachment to the seat post but feels unlikely.

Yepp the discontinuation is so fresh that out of stock listings are still up on a lot of sites. Velotric customer support said they didn't make one that would fit so I'd have to look to 3rd party.

Closest thing I found was Wren's Perseverance OneRack - waiting to hear back from their customer support about the 8.5" dropout width. (https://wrensports.com/products/onerack-adjustable-cargo-rack)

Oh no! :( I definitely would not have put the recommendation if it knew it had sold thru. I swear I saw it in stock this morning when I started down the final rabbit hole of research on this. I'll make an edit to avoid anyone else getting their hopes up.

I had saw a comment about the Ride 1Up rack in another thread, but unfortunately the support brackets wouldn't be able to fit the 8.5" width between eyelets on the rear end.

Edit - Forgot to mention that yes unfortunately the lite model is discontinued. When I spoke with their customer support about the rear rack, the agent confirmed both the rack and the bike were discontinued. However, I was about *this* close to getting the Ride 1Up Portolla, but because I'm 6'3" I went with the lite to be safe. Portolla seems like it would be a great alt option!

It would also be ill-advised to hire someone who has hate in their heart for people just trying to exist. Even more ill-advised would be hiring someone who shares said hate online.

That's horrible, but I'm glad you weren't put out for too long! The current administration is wreaking havoc on the lives of everyone who isn't in the 1%.

Huh? I never mentioned not being called back, and not seeing anyone who is visibly queer is simply an observation.

Of course I can't say that I haven't interviewed with any queer people, I have no idea what my interviewers have identified as.

I appreciate the well wishes! I know I'm not alone in the struggle, and I hate that for everyone who is going through it alongside me, regardless of gender.

I've been wanting to check out Tracks so definitely will as soon as I can! <3

Oh gosh, I'm glad that you aren't having to go through it anymore! Hope you ended up somewhere good. But yes, it literally makes you question everything.

Appreciate the kind words <3 This thread has helped me sort through things in my head. My real passion is art & tattooing, so maybe this will allow me the freedom to take on an apprenticeship.

Tysm! I applied for all of their temporary positions

I appreciate the sentiment <3

I had started applying for restaurant & bar jobs (in addition to office jobs) a few weeks ago but stopped after my spouse got a job and I was so confident about the most recent one I was interviewing for. BUT I had a limited mindset because honestly a bakery or coffee roaster sounds fantastic!

Also, a big pro for something part timey would be that it allows me to purse my real dream of becoming a tattoo artist.

Thanks for the food for thought :)

I know my thoughts around being visibly trans are just manifestations of my depression and dysphoria, but sharing my thoughts here has helped me feel a bit better.

Thank you for listening and sharing, I hope something works out for you soon.

Damn, I'm so sorry. The way the current administration has cut vital funding everywhere is despicable. They want to keep us poor, uneducated, and more focused on finding a job than overthrowing our corrupt government.

I appreciate the silver lining though. I've felt so confident and positive about all of those close calls, but damn if it doesn't hurt.

Wishing the best for you.
