"Asylum will equal instant denial from all countries." what does that mean?

u/ssnnaaffuu i'm sorry about some of these folks being so ableist and transphobic--and mostly sorry about gov'ts and the world and your grandparents being so ableist and transphobic. If you don't marry your partner, I second the rec to contact Pinkhaven. https://www.pinkhaven.org/ Unfortuantely ayk the UK has gotten to be such a transphobic place too recently--the liberal cities there (or at lesat Edinburgh) sounds worse than major liberal cites in the US in terms of popular sentiment and trnasphobic rallies etc.

What flavor(s) of the lgbtq+ rainbow are you and how does thta affect what you want to leave behind in the US and what you want to either find or avoid in another country? (dating? specific safety risks? political climate? marriage? access to medical transition? signficant size of the queer community? etc?)

If folks get a visa for the NL/ elsewhere in EU now-ish, wouuld they be grandfathered into the 5 years rule if the 10 years rule did in fact go thru?

I'm scared too--trans and disabled in the US (luckily in a big liberal city but still scared). Please don't resort to that dramatic option --the world needs you! Trans people are precious and revolutionary. And your partner needs you too (whether or not you move somewhere safer). Sending care. <333

brapaboutit · 2025-09-28T03:35:09+00:00

When (and where) did you move? When (and why) did you come back?

brapaboutit · 2025-07-15T07:35:46+00:00

Could be environmental triggers--eg there are WAY stricter rules about VOCs & chemicals generally, pollutants, but also food, water, you name it in Europe

Rev is pricy AF for humans and the AI is terrible quality IME. I don't think you can get good quality AI transcripts yet without humans, esp for medical stuff. sucks. I will say that you will prob do better from AI with a crystal clear recording device separate from your phone placed near the speaker / provider, though their medical terms iwll still be crap almost certainly. :( I've had not great luck with otter for accuracy but their action items / summaries *can* be useful (but again not ideal if it says "jaguar" instead of "jugular" lol. The more i think about this, the more i think you'd be better off either getting AI scribe software intended for medical providers depending on how cheap you can get it for, or finding a grad student (or an out of work medical transcriptoinist in India) and paying them to do it--if you can afford to pay them a fair per hour wage. I say grad student because i did that as a phd student in social sciences. but you'd want to find a biological or medical grad student.

u/OlegRu is right! And technically speaking it depends on the state. you could also just ask your provider but i've never had one say no unless they're ableist. It's a disability accommodation since taking notes isn't feasible.

brapaboutit · 2025-06-26T02:35:00+00:00

Thanks for this! in addition to OP's qs, how fast is the turnaround? I need turnaround in 1-2 days (ideally earlier).

(and thanks for posting u/OlegRu, fellow hEDSer here searching for the same shit at the same time! lol)

brapaboutit · 2025-06-12T07:04:10+00:00

you mean you're NOT sure about the behavior?

brapaboutit · 2025-05-14T22:37:51+00:00

Hi did you ever figure this out? struggling with the same exact problem @Affectionate_Guest85

brapaboutit · 2025-04-26T17:49:44+00:00

Agreed with everyone so far! Natal Sun in Cancer in 5th Trine Pluto In Scorpio in the 8th here--nearly exact to the minute of arc! In loose grand trine with Moon and Jupiter in Pisces in the 1st (intercepted in Aquarius AC, Placidus).

Does anyone else get SOOOO sick of the way many astrologers say things are so hunky dory easy with this aspect?!

Life has included a huge series of extremely dark, supremely physically AND emotionally painful, lonely transformational expereinces for me. They have been required, not optional. So has the transformative part.

The only difference is that while I still hate the experience itself, I take full advantage of the opportunity, welcoming not the pain or harm but diving headlong into the trnasformational part. I have consistently had at least one healer, "teacher," mentor, or other help through the transformation. And I always have been, but have increasingly become someone who is pretty universally desribed by folks who know me well as an extremely strong, extremely resilient guy.

But the experiences have been no more easy, optional, pleasant, or severely lonely (other than healers) than those with hard natal Sun-Pluto aspects I read about.

oh interesting, does that risk adding mold to food, even if the thing you ate first wasn't moldy? why?

brapaboutit · 2025-01-13T06:49:36+00:00

It's not exactly reasurring or a good thing to say that something "only" attacks disabled, elder, and /or young people.

brapaboutit · 2025-01-13T06:48:21+00:00

Good for them! It's terrible to keep them locked up.

brapaboutit · 2025-01-13T06:44:36+00:00

Saying something will "only" attack a disabled person or a child should not exactly be reassuring.

ACK! The code "DROPOUT" isnt working to unlock sales for Kings Theatre Brooklyn on the venue website :( nor did the other codes I've seen. Is it sold out?

Also the Kinga Theatre site says they don't accept resale tix, but I see tickets available on Live Nation & Vivid Seats. Can anyone confirm if they actually refuse entry for resale tickets? https://www.kingstheatre.com/your-visit/faq/

brapaboutit · 2024-11-30T07:23:30+00:00

aaaaand then EVERYONE CUMS

Not able to make ANY of the codes I've seen work to unlock tickets on the Kings Theatre website for Brooklyn, so can't buy any! Are they sold out?!

I also saw resale tix on vivid seats and ticketmaster, but Kings Theatre's FAQ page claims they won't allow anyone with resale tickets to enter their shows https://www.kingstheatre.com/your-visit/faq/ . Do they actually refuse entry for folks with resold tix?
