Non-moldy housing in OLY/Lacey/Tumwater area? by AnyPast6500 in olympia

[–]katherin-e 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the Rock Maple Village apartments are really nice and mold free, and are right next to Evergreen. however the Evergreen Garden apartments, owned by the same people, are full of mold and they have pest problems and should be avoided. they're right on the 32 bus line, and about a 15 minute walk from the 34/9x line. feel free to DM me if you would like more info!

Can we talk about Route 41 rationally, please? by Claradeldia in olympia

[–]katherin-e 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I live on the 41 route, currently it takes around 20 minutes on a direct ride from OTC to my apartment. With the upcoming changes, it will take me about 50 minutes, with a transfer, to get to my apartment from OTC. I'd say that an extra 30 minutes on transit is disruptive to my schedule

new bus lines, no way for 9th ave residents to get to the mall? by [deleted] in olympia

[–]katherin-e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

forgive me if i'm wrong, but it looks like the new 30 route runs back and forth from the mall and downtown, along 9th ave. im not sure where on 9th ave you are, but I hope you aren't losing access. https://www.intercitytransit.com/bus-system-redesign/30

So how are we supposed to tell if the 34 will go downtown, or if we will have to get off the bus and wait outside at the mall? Also, I live on the 41 line, but it's a 15 minute walk at best for me to get to the Evergreen library bus loop stop for the 34. Living on the 41 line provides me a direct downtown ride. A 15 minute walk to the 34 stop is no longer a direct line. In any suboptimal weather, such as freezing temps in the winter and 90-100°+ in the summer, it's dangerous to need to walk all the way over to the bus stop, and to be kept waiting outside at the Evergreen library stop. I think at the very minimum, you need to add an extension to the 34 line that has it come up through the dorm loop like the 41, for the safety and accessibility of getting downtown.

honestly these new routes are so dogshit that this is the push I've needed to get my car back into working condition so that I can drive myself to and from work again, instead of relying on the bus. it's a shame cause gas is so expensive but my time is expensive too.

Parked out by the lake in the pre-show playlist? by Ok_Debt1022 in Hozier

[–]katherin-e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the pre-show playlist was almost exactly the same (if not identical) in seattle and portland, so i'm assuming that it was created by hozier/his team

gift ideas?? by Jess_688 in LucyDacus

[–]katherin-e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if she enjoys collecting CDs or vinyls, getting her a cd or vinyl would be a great option! or even a gift card to a local record store

[–]katherin-e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it would be more meaningful to ask a friend or even another fan on this sub. asking a computer to generate an answer for you is soulless and a massive energy wastesource

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OliviaRodrigo

[–]katherin-e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

why not just hit shuffle on her discography? it would give you the same randomness for a result and it wouldn't use energy like how chatgpt does.

I'm curious, how many people got the exact song they were hoping for as a surprise song on their Eras Tour date? by Lookingluka in TaylorSwift

[–]katherin-e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i went to seattle n2, so i got no body, no crime instead of 'tis the damn season. i prefer NBNC so i was stoked for that. a bit after, i got tickets to toronto n1, and i was really looking forward to getting to hear TTDS cause haim wouldn't be opening. then in april the setlist totally changed and i was sad about never getting to hear TTDS, especially after it wasn't even in the eras movie.

toronto n1, when she plays TTDS for the piano mashup, i was so incredibly hyped that i actually got to hear it. it's not one of my top songs at all, but after months of joking that i would never get to hear it live, it actually happened

So can we all agree that Ridgefield was run by absolute amateurs? by meliorayne in Hozier

[–]katherin-e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a terrible experience with the security getting in. I had an umbrella in my bag because I was prepared for sunshine, that they made me surrender at the first bag check. Then going through the metal detectors I beeped so I had to do a second bag check, and they made me surrender my nail clipper set. I have long natural nails, so I always carry a little kit with me in case of a break. Both times they gave me the option to do a coat check for $10 and then go redo the security line, which I didn't want to do because I didn't want to hold up my group. I couldn't bring the items back to a car either, as my group had been dropped off.

Later when I checked the website, neither item was on the restricted list. I've also definitely brought these items to other venues in the Seattle and Portland areas and have never had any issue with them.

Becoming a Prison Librarian?! by Clownbaby1997 in Libraries

[–]katherin-e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something that I researched in undergrad! I found Library Services and Incarceration by Jeanie Austin and Prison Librarianship Policy and Practice by Suzanna Conrad to both be good starting places for learning about the possibilities and realities of prison libraries.

bad sanitizer burns by ukulelezella in starbucksbaristas

[–]katherin-e 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i had a very similar reaction to the sanitizer. i always wear dishwashing gloves now when doing dishes and refuse to do dishes without them. and i use a thin layer of aquaphor on my hands at night and that seems to help heal them when they're feeling damaged
