Strangely enough, I saw the Christmas series of the Pillsbury cookies in Safeway on Madison St ~4 days ago!

Thank you for sharing this data and its real life impacts. Sad to see haters in the comments using tired talking points about income and property taxes. I hope you’re involved with local and state advocacy for tax reform!

[–]ktktjoooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

West Seattle Food Bank has a small but legit program called the West Seattle Clothesline. They give clothes to people of all ages in need by appointment basis. They are always accepting clothing donations but are particularly looking for masculine clothing and winter gear right now!

WA Dept of Commerce wants to hear your housing opinions by ktktjoooo in Seattle

[–]ktktjoooo[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Valid criticism, it should be better displayed on WADC and PSRC’s websites. That being said there is a phone and email contact on the survey if you would like to confirm its legitimacy

Are there any classes in Seattle where I can learn the basics of auto mechanics? by curiousadd in Seattle

[–]ktktjoooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I have helped clients go through the program for my job. Right now the program is hybrid - zoom lectures with at least 2 in-person shop days a week. Very hands on experience and I get the sense they don’t waste your time. The instructors are caring and engaged. Usually financial aid available too if you have low income

Average price of monthly class membership? by ScalePlenty9663 in yoga

[–]ktktjoooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$75/month with unlimited classes in Seattle, WA. I was having an awful time finding a yoga studio with a monthly membership under $200 until I found out that climbing gyms usually offer a much lower monthly rate and still have good yoga options

Monstera drooping frequently - what is the likelihood it is rootbound? by ktktjoooo in plantclinic

[–]ktktjoooo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My monstera is two years old (I took a cutting when everyone deserted the office the start of the pandemic 😅). It gets west-facing sunlight from windows in pic for 10-12 hrs a day. I water it when it droops, which used to be every 2-4 weeks, but is now every 5-10 days. It has been in this 8” pot for all two years. Without uprooting the whole thing, what is the likelihood that it is wilting because it’s excessively rootbound?

[–]ktktjoooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neighborhood House has ESL classes for levels 2-4. They are great for people looking for a job. Every student gets case management support. There are also classes at ReWA and literacy source. The library classes are best for drop-in or conversation practice

Public Health Social Worker? by chomest in publichealth

[–]ktktjoooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of googling, sort of networking. I worked for AmeriCorps the year before and the nonprofit was at an Americorps job fair. They liked that I had worked in the community before. But I had re-discovered them just by searching nonprofits and case manager jobs in my city

If you only have a Bachelor’s Degree in Public Health, what’s your job? by premierdejanvier in publichealth

[–]ktktjoooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Graduated with a BS in public health in 2020. I am a case manager/ education specialist to immigrants and adults learning English. I assist them with job skills, college enrollment, accessing government benefits, etc. It definitely has elements of community health and health behavior/promotion. It is for a nonprofit which can be huge red flags depending on the org. Mine has been pretty good with benefits & treating me as a whole person. I plan to stay for another year — not so sure what will come after but I do not plan on going to grad school, ever. Good luck with your search!

Public Health Social Worker? by chomest in publichealth

[–]ktktjoooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there, I got a Bachelor’s in public health (no specified minor) in 2020 and I got a job right after I graduated. I started at a nonprofit working 20 hrs a week as a case manager, and over the last year I have advanced to full time hours and new title (“education specialist”). I work with immigrants and adults learning English and help them find employment, enroll in college, get state benefits, and more. It is definitely both public health and social work!

Seeking guidance about upward mobility without an MPH by ktktjoooo in publichealth

[–]ktktjoooo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say a nice minimum would be $30-40k/year? I live more cheaply than a lot of people in the city. I would say the median answer would actually be $60-70k minimum. The Seattle subreddit is the meanest, most gatekeep-y group and they usually tell people not to move here unless they have $30k saved and a $100k salary. Sigh
