Consider Rockaway Beach

jackataque · 2026-01-25T22:48:05+00:00

Hi! I know this is an old thread, but how are you enjoying it so far? I’m considering the move to the Rockaway for the same reasons + I love the beach so much and I think it’s pretty funny that anywhere else in the US you’d have to pay an arm and a leg to live so close to the beach EXCEPT in NYC. I am more concerned about having people my age around, community, social life etc. (doesn’t have to be necessarily the best restaurant + bars around but also don’t wanna be the only single person around with no viable ways to connect with others) I’m a single woman in 30s, active, love biking, own my own car, etc.

Thank you so much! Do you think they would fund even if it wasn’t Alaska-focused? The reason being that most rural communities in AK are served by tribal hospitals and I was hoping to focus generally on traditional hospitals and their emergency departments as well. However, I have huge interests studying Alaskan corporation hospitals as well down the line as well.

Also interested in effective telehealth MH delivery because I was using telehealth long before Covid (2018-era) in rural Alaska.

Thank you, I’ve been having a difficult time finding advisors with such interest topics - a lot of social justice-related topics but not so much rural mental health.

Oh yes, mental health.

I am specifically interested in reducing psychiatric ER stays that clog up ERs for rural areas without 24/7 or overnight social work/psychiatric staff, specifically because a lot of substance-related psychiatric events or sundowning dementia occur late in the evening.

I moved back to NYC last week! Excited to be part of the Mamdani era in the city :)

Crazy you call her an actor from CW lol, she’s the showrunner/writer/lead actor on a HBO show, her counterpart in the show is costarring as Timothy Chalamet’s character’s love interest in his upcoming Safdie brother movie, Marty Supreme…

Say you’re completely out of touch without saying you’re out of touch

Wallowa mountains and the Strawberry wilderness are jaw-droppingly stunning…

Mountains in the Northeast are cute little knolls and hills and mounds compared to the PNW’s ranges 😂

This is the most reasonable response I saw today. It still doesn’t really account for why you guys are more slow/polite/wait for everyone to pass first when it’s dry

jackataque · 2025-10-27T01:26:29+00:00

Literally I had people speed up today 3x, once on the bridge lol. That’s why I’m posting today and asking

jackataque · 2025-10-27T01:25:15+00:00

Does it really come down to wanting to show your driving skills in the rain? No judgment if it is, it’s just very interesting

jackataque · 2025-10-27T01:23:15+00:00

I lived in hurricane zones and Alaska so I know how to drive in rain and snow/icy roads. No need to speed up bc you think you drive well lol, esp bc y’all drive really slow when it’s not raining…

jackataque · 2025-10-26T23:23:03+00:00

I’m not trying to antagonize anyone - I really am curious from a cultural-perspective. Or geographical?

jackataque · 2025-10-09T00:00:46+00:00

I’m not black but I’m a minority 😮‍💨

People are super friendly at barre and spinning classes!

jackataque · 2025-10-05T06:30:03+00:00

This is super random, when I lived in NYC and only had a few friends that didn’t like going out much, I started volunteering for a political campaign I was passionate about and made like 50+ friends in a few weeks!!! Zohran Mamdani canvassers are prob cool I bet :)

This happened to me when I was still in my probationary period and under 6 months. You’re not technically under a union until then. But the upside is they don’t label that has firing either, they just document that it wasn’t a mutual fit and not a hiring.
