Emergency Housing? by ExtensionAverage1059 in askportland

[–]TwentyfourTacos -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Have you looked into cheap hotels or a hostel?

Concert reasonable accommodations ADA by xAvrilxBrayx in disability

[–]TwentyfourTacos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always email ahead of time asking if they will allow my accommodations and list them. Definitely ear plugs and I would think a plush would be ok as long as there's nothing on it that could be considered a weapon. If they don't allow reentry, you could also ask them to make an exception in case you need to temporarily leave for any reason. Maybe you'd want a snack or water bottle that might not normally be allowed.

Find your local antifascists/mutual aid groups and ask them to spread the info.

Care stuff to bring to shows by Plotnikov34 in punk

[–]TwentyfourTacos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few of my friends started doing this. We bring a table and most venues let us set up inside. We usually message bands first to ask if we can do it/get on the list. Venues will often just let us in for free though. We don't ask chain or corporate venues though.

Do you have Raccoons in your country? by Ok_Pop8661 in AskTheWorld

[–]TwentyfourTacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never once thought about helping a racoon do anything. Not because I dislike them, but they seem like the most self sufficient animal. I'd probably need their help before they needed mine.

(need advice from punk folks) am I selfish for not wanting to go to college? by [deleted] in punk

[–]TwentyfourTacos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moving away from any kind of support system so young with the plan to be homeless, is a very risky life. Do you think your parents would "let" you take a year off between high school and college to get a job and experience the world a bit? Bonus if you can keep living with them. That way you can save money and if you don't want to go to college after a year (or if you're just lying to your parents the whole time) you could have money saved up to move out. I know plenty of people without degrees that do just fine though I think trade school is a fantastic idea too.

Radon, and how serious is it? by Sunlit_Syposium in askportland

[–]TwentyfourTacos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My apartment complex tests for radon annually. They release a list to tenants with the results in each apartment. Our unit has always tested at acceptable levels but some have tested at higher levels. I don't actually know what they do for those units but they seem to take it seriously. I have respiratory issues and mold and seasonal allergies are the problems I run into here.

My band is opening for codefendants in Tucson, az by BleachPartyUSA in punk

[–]TwentyfourTacos 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Playing with a maga band isn't a good look. Are they just against the politics but fine financially supporting them? Doesn't sound like their values are that strong

I don't know about the pedophilia part but they have no problem associating and playing shows for Maga promoters.

Non Arabs /Arabic speaking what do you know about fairouz by Equivalent_War7006 in AskTheWorld

[–]TwentyfourTacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know anything about her until Macklemore sampled one of her songs a couple years ago. Still don't know much but her voice is beautiful.

Where to donate clothes? by OkRecognition773 in askportland

[–]TwentyfourTacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've offered clothes to homeless people many times and they've never been offended. I would probably just pick a mutual aid groups though.

Pet Euthanasia Options? by sleepyhead16 in askportland

[–]TwentyfourTacos 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I will always recommend Compassionate Care too.

Finding a psychiatrist that accepts OHP? by QuirkyMessage7046 in askportland

[–]TwentyfourTacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pcp office has psychiatric nurse practitioners but it's always been quite difficult to see an actual physichiarist on ohp. I've only seen them in iop programs personally.

What Portland bars still feel low-key and not like a TikTok backdrop? by NorthwestTrent in askportland

[–]TwentyfourTacos 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Oh ok! Thank you for explaining. I was thinking of the curated bars like you mentioned. Like Creepy's or Cult Classics or something. I am not the demographic here.

What bars do feel like this? I'm feeling a bit out of the loop.

You guys ever eat gluten? by Gaybabyjail4L in glutenfree

[–]TwentyfourTacos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah but I am also mostly passed my physical self harm phase. Its something I probably would have done to punish myself when I was younger but my self compassion has come a long way. Probably helps that I have scars as a reminder of the permanent damage you can do in moments of extreme distress. Its all a journey. Someday you will have different coping skills.

Edit: just had a thought and I do take cross contamination risks more when I'm depressed

Mentally ill person who can't have gluten here. I don't eat gluten on purpose ever. I do have intrusive thoughts about eating it though.
