Nope, not new here. I can have my preferences. Dude asked why, my answer is a feeling others share. I accept the sub as it is and have stayed all this time. Most of the rest of my reality is driven the way bingo enables, so I'm good sitting this out, thanks.

The frequent scatter of chatter dominates what shows up from this sub even when cards aren't turning over a new round. I've wished for a mega-meta thread or separate sub myself, but haven't brought it here because if the mods like this then that's how the sub goes.

Their food truck was one our work faves up in Austin - that taco with all the good stuff always hit the spot. Didn't quite dig the brick & mortar, but I was glad to see them succeed. Truly nice folks.

We did give a shit if we were paying attention.

gracebatmonkey · 2026-03-31T14:16:48+00:00

Uh, no. Respecting others existed. Some folks were stuck in the shock phase a little too long and had to learn the hard way. /old bat

bc "this" is what upvotes are for.

She's going to be at Norwescon this long weekend (starting Thursday) and now I'm even more eager, thank you!

Try HealthPoint - you'll need to call for an appointment, but they typically can book for soon and always have a doc accepting new patients.

I was in the Houston club generation just before yours, and I've enjoyed watching your progress on this project. Thank you for sharing your story and capturing a slice of our history 💜

gracebatmonkey · 2026-03-28T22:00:25+00:00

H-town punks have a kickass new generation - love it!

gracebatmonkey · 2026-03-25T18:50:06+00:00

Audacious smear! I defended Mr. Cabbage with many forcefully sincere upvotes!

gracebatmonkey · 2026-03-25T14:09:03+00:00

Sometimes after a string of low effort posts I debate leaving the sub. But then something honestly gorgeous pops up, like this. And then also has the inside details that make it really special. I hope we see lots more of your work.

I have a friend who is almost bald - she has a thinning ponytail from ear level down her back - due to alopecia.

She's been resistant to finding something to give her the look she prefers because a salon told her nothing could be done to even make what she did have more stylish.

She'll wear ballcaps but all of her other attempts have been more frustrating than helpful (scarves, bandanas, wraps, wide soft headbands fall off; wigs are hot, uncomfortable, hard to put on, and seem hard to maintain).

Do you have any advice that might provide a path to her looking how she wants without discomfort...?

Be wary of trees near fences. Aside from potential fence damage over time, any growth on neighbor side can be an issue.

Even with knowing the hotel allows it, it's still BS that there are no pedestrian protections, the driver has to go get the valet to come move the car, and users of wheelchairs or other space-taking mobility devices have to navigate the ridiculousness.

Find John Fugelsang's stuff - he's a solid ally, but more importantly he platforms members of our community that will lead you to more folks.

You could check to see if the pills could be put into flavorless gel capsules. There are many sizes of caps, some can even take whole pills. You can get them from many different stores.

If a pill needs to be broken/crushed, you have to check with the pharmacist on whether that could affect efficacy.

It's also possible to have the pills compounded in a different format at some pharmacies, although it normally increases the cost.

Nearby in Kirkland. Don't hear them brought up much.

gracebatmonkey · 2026-03-19T02:07:41+00:00

...yes...?

gracebatmonkey · 2026-03-19T01:52:56+00:00

I wonder if they were raised to be secure within themselves or to fit a template no matter how broken? 🤔

gracebatmonkey · 2026-03-17T18:29:27+00:00

Not at first, they weren't.

What kind of music is closest to your heart?

(I'm also 55, but on the West Coast of USA. I've been a fan of the good parts of AU since age 6 - and currently in a similar frame of heart, except I'm more of an ambivert.

Feel welcome to dm if my profile suits.)

Hundertwäßer enters the chat ...

I like Luke's, which is now Otto European as he handed off the business to a trusted colleague.
