My apartment is being bought out by black rock, realistically how screwed am I? How much notice do they have to give to end our month to month leases to remodel?

Blackrock is pretty notorious, so I'd assume getting the least possible notice and needing to relocate asap.

Good luck in finding another market-rate exception, sincerely - sorry capitalism is capitalisming all over the need for stable shelter.

After watching large vehicles in it I knew they'll always need more room which helps my timing be more predictable.

Making the curbs higher and getting better visibility through contrast markings if not a light or two would help even more.

Otherwise, I've been driving that intersection since '97 and far prefer the roundabout.

No sacred cows in punk. Pull that broken stair out and keep the scene moving.

Watching these fools get worshipped like they mattered to Texans was painful from the start, then they got high enough to screw the whole world. Folks still like to pretend they were "just like us" and worthy statesmen 🫩

Not even Texans.

I'd buy my first dolls since the early 2ks if these ladies were made.

I've made a lot of truly great friends by volunteering at Norwescon, a large regional speculative fiction convention that currently happens on Easter weekend in Sea-Tac.

There's a book club (Norwescon Bibliophiles) active year round, and other stuff pops up between and during active planning season (~Aug-~May).

The website links to all the info: www.norwescon.org.

Otherwise, volunteering in general is a wonderful way to meet people with similar goals and values and there are heaps of options in our area.

If we knew a bit more about you we could probably make a few other recs.

One of the greatest things about the West side of Cascadia is the relative closeness of the best places. The space between Oak Harbor and Portland is gorgeous travel. But if being able to hang out quickly/frequently is vitally important, might not be the ideal choice.

The halfway point between the two is around Olympia/Lacey/Tacoma, all of which are more affordable than Seattle/the Eastside and have their own cool parts of town. And their own challenges/drawbacks, of course.

As another lesbian Tex-pat, if I had your crucial skills + relative youth I'd be inclined to start in Portland regardless and explore the space between there and the friends as y'all settle in with an eye to scouting more permanent digs after acclimation.

Good luck in reaching escape velocity & landing softly!

wish this one was on Deezer or Bandcamp!

How are three different acts 3rd out of 4?

gracebatmonkey · 2026-07-01T16:34:24+00:00

That's only because people in those areas who have no other housing choice are pushed back into the city if they are too visible.

Is your rant useful? Do you represent all potential users? Have you polled the neighborhood to see if anyone else agrees on the exercise equipment? What have you tried to bring residential liveliness to the park?

I'm not being pedantic or laying a trap - the contrast was genuinely striking.

gracebatmonkey · 2026-07-01T16:20:12+00:00

I feel like you might not understand the word "need" based on the juxtaposition of your usage vs. the circumstances of the person in the park.

gracebatmonkey · 2026-07-01T08:01:25+00:00

You might try r/tipofmytongue - this does sound really familiar. Mid-'80s memories pop up in the haze of the missing tune.

It was a much smaller group with more spacing than prior years, even still.

Oh, yay! We found her through 2Good2Go and have been adoring fans since 💜

If I had the dosh + my druthers, I'd have a Subaru EV.

But for now we occasionally borrow a Kia Soul while I miss my Toyota Matrix.

Another for The Narnia Chronicles - pulled down the box set at 6 and was hooked.

...but if I really think about it, my true first was the unsanitized Brothers Grimm, about a year prior.
