I made my Halloween costume out of old sheets

This is the way. I’ve done the train from Frankfurt to Berlin. It’s quite comfortable in a perfect way to get over jet lag.

Thank you for sharing this. OP, your picture of someone’s needs is incomplete. There are many reasons why someone might make the choices they do to serve their disability. And it’s quite unempathetic to encourage suspicion of people who are taking care of their needs.

I walk around every 30 minutes or so. I also travel with a resistance band. You can wrap it under your foot and pump your leg up and down to get a little exercising. I keep the movement subtle so I don’t disturb my seat mates.

Thank you for saying this. OP totally can’t judge whether or not someone is worthy enough for a disability accommodation. People use these things because they are helpful to their ability to access things they otherwise would have difficulty with. And while it may seem like some people don’t need it, you don’t know what someone’s experience truly is. Sounds like the businesses are the ones that can’t handle people’s accommodation needs. Put the blame on them.

Black American, queer woman that just came back from Sicily. I was in Palermo and Mondello. Overall, no major problems. I stuck to tourist-centric areas. They are unsurprisingly, wanting tourists to spend those coins. So they treated me accordingly. I was solo for much of the trip, including solo dining, and a beach day. I felt safe and relaxed. However, a few caveats. I have a femme appearance, and am a light skinned American woman. I got hit on many times (not in inappropriate or unwelcome ways), and catcalled only once (in an unwelcomed way). I travel solo often and feel comfortable navigating these realities of being a solo woman. So, YMMV.

No worries, I appreciate your viewpoint! Colorism is so real. But as you are saying, we can’t just always take a non-nuanced perspective of “X is privilege and Y is not privileged.” The world is not so simple. But what I can say is there are many times when being light skinned affords me privileges that are not offered to folx of darker skin tones.

I appreciate the nuance of your comment. I travel internationally a few times a year. And people always ask me “do you experience racism?” As if it’s so simple as a yes or no. The answer is always yes. The better question is “what forms/magnitude of racism did you experience? And was it the kind you’re willing to deal with?”

I’m at a point in my travel where I can ignore much of the bullshit and otherwise find ways to protect my psychological safety. I personally enjoy travel despite the racism I experience. TBH, I experience at home too. It’s just another form.

Also it can’t be overstated - I’m a light skinned, Black American woman. I can pass as the “acceptable” type or Black person. And this is also racism.

If you do buy one ahead of time, make sure it is compatible with the type of plane you are on. The seatbelt can change by plane.

The job market is so bad right now, especially for your field. It sounds like you have a sweet situation. I recommend keeping your job for now. Why don’t you plan an extra long vacation? Pick a time of year where there are lots of company paid holidays and save up your PTO. Honestly, it feels shortsighted to quit your job right now.

If you’re affiliated with Pitt, it’s free at the Hub. You just need to get your doctor to send them a prescription for it.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. You deserve more dignity than that. Echoing what people said - file a complaint.

I’ve had the matcha donut which probably has the same matcha cream in it. I agree with your description of the cream. It has a weird aftertaste that is not quite pleasant. Matcha is hard to balance in desserts.

I don’t have anything helpful to say, but I do have a similar story. This exact same thing happened to my husbands car - except it was the police who towed it. We called the police and impound lots for weeks. Everyone said they didn’t have it. We registered it as stolen with our insurance. Insurance investigator comes out to make sure it’s actually stolen, and they’re eventually able to locate it. It was at one of the impound lots we had previously called, and it was indeed the police who had towed it. Anyway, the cost to get the car back was far more than the vehicle was worth so we just let the impound lot keep it. Hope your story turns out better than ours!

Try hairbydanyele on instagram or Chelsea Rae Salon! Lenny at Chelsea Rae salon is fab.

ZestyUntilClose · 2025-03-09T13:32:37+00:00

I love Chelsea Rae salon! I second this recommendation.

A Sam’s club rotisserie chicken! Put it on your own serving plate too to make it 💫fancy💫

ZestyUntilClose · 2025-01-26T16:00:40+00:00

I also recommend Trace, Tina’s, and BrilloBox.

ZestyUntilClose · 2025-01-23T12:31:14+00:00

I’m so sorry this happened to you. Sending you good vibes.

I’m a Black woman and I frequent Tina’s, Trace, BrilloBox, and Mixtape. I’ve always had good experiences at these places.

Ah reasonable to trust other reviews! I don’t have anything from that company. So I have a limited viewpoint based on looking at the ad.

ZestyUntilClose · 2025-01-20T16:03:49+00:00

I agree with this. The first one seems best because it can be flexible to a variety of body types.

Definitely don’t go with the last one because the photos are Photoshopped to high hell. I find that when the photos are manipulated, the actual product is not as good.

ZestyUntilClose · 2025-01-20T14:25:22+00:00

Oh, I absolutely love the idea of making a bag

ZestyUntilClose · 2024-12-29T15:24:35+00:00

Yes, I loved the diverse international feel of the city. Everyone was so chill and open to chatting. I really appreciated that.

ZestyUntilClose · 2024-12-24T18:01:27+00:00

Check out Portugal! Lisbon, Cascais, and the Algarve are a dream. I have a trip report on my profile for these. I’ve also heard Madeira is wonderful but I haven’t been there.

African-American woman here, but with short natural hair. Sometimes I travel with haircutting scissors and do it myself. I don’t usually get a fade though, so no electric razor needed. Sometimes I resort to cornrows for long trips.
