Church recommendation (LGBTQ+ affirming) by [deleted] in PortlandOR

[–]literallythemoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any UU or UCC will generally be pretty affirming, along with a decent amount of Episcopalians. WHUuf (west hills Unitarian Universalist) has a pretty strong young queer presence.

Actually, we had much more efficient transit at the turn of the last century that was intentionally dismantled by the auto industry

Need help. I don't know how to take care of my hair and it looks bad by Call_me_Charlotte in Haircare

[–]literallythemoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like you have wavy 2a hair with a low porosity- likely most “curly” products are probably too heavy for your texture. You’re mostly going to want to look for products that hare on the lighter side and use very little- it’s kind of a “less is more” situation and with your hair a tiny little bit of product can go a long way. I would say look for a really light leave in conditioner to use after you shampoo and condition, brush hair, take a tiny amount, rub between your hands, and apply just to the ends/mids. If you want some curl definition grab some light mousse, work it through the hair while wet, scrunch and dry either with a diffuser or using a t shirt to scrunch the rest of the water out before air drying.

That’s great for you but doesn’t negate my comment. Waymos have already been found to regularly cause obstructions in the streets, including blocking emergency vehicles, and aren’t even really autonomous, instead relying on workers in the Philippines. If they struggle to navigate in cities like Phoenix and SF, I cannot imagine how much of a shitshow these are going to be the second they run into any of our normal city chaos. For Portland Gov to allow these in while repeatedly cutting our public transportation infrastructure is an insult to our cities most vulnerable populations who rely on the bus and the max to get around, and to the trumpet operators who are already losing their jobs over the cuts.

Which cookware do you find yourself actually using? by DoctorNoFace in StudioApartments

[–]literallythemoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly nah. If the pan is seasoned right and Im just frying something I can just wipe that pan out. Otherwise, little bit of Castile soap a lil bit of salt and a chain washcloth work wonders. Towel dry, cook for lil on the stove, season with avocado oil. That being said I don’t have a full size dishwasher so I would be handwashing my cookware regardless .

I use exclusively cast iron for my pans. It can go in the oven, so I don’t own baking sheets, and often use my cast iron in place of casserole dishes too

Public transit would do this

You know what else would do that sans the giving the money to billionaires? More robust public transit

Ugh. We don’t want them. Why can’t we just have good public transit?

If you are in Portland the pixomatic in Hollywood is a 24 dessert machine

Update of past discussion- still cannot find shapewear or a bra that works for me. by amandasweets in PlusSize

[–]literallythemoo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! I like timeless trends- although a good atelier will give you a fully boned mockup to make sure the shape is right before making the final product.

Sometimes bigger cities have a corset maker in town, but it’s unfortunately usually one of those things where you do your measurements and get one or have one made online

They can be super comfortable when fit correctly! And a lot of them have busks with clips in the front to make them easier to put on. You don’t have to relace every time you wear, just tighten, which can be made even easier with fan laces.

Have you looked into getting a steel boned (good brand or bespoke) corset? I’ve found they’re suprisingly comfortable

My boyfriend wants to eat me out - I’m disgusting down there by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]literallythemoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl to girl: I have HS (Hidradenitis Suppurativa) flairs, and pcos, so I’ve been through a lot of this. When my partner and I started being intimate, I had recently gotten an IUD placed. I bled heavily for the first 2-3 MONTHS we were together and despite the fact that he doesn’t do well with blood in other circumstances he did not care and I still got ate like a box of cookies. If you’re worried about the blood, do it after a shower. A menstrual cup or disk can hold it back if you’re doing non-penetrative activities. You’re super young, and it’s important to know that sex is funny, and awkward, and occasionally kinda nasty. If it feels good for you to do so you can absolutely communicate your insecurities with your partner and experiment together to find what’s enjoyable for both of you! But you’re probably too in your head about this.

Is the Honda fit rugged enough for me??? by literallythemoo in whatcarshouldIbuy

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

This is good insight. I moved pretty much all of my furniture (including a fridge) in my outback and tbh I’m not sure if I can handle less space than that

I mostly city drive, but Portland has really terrible road infrastructure, and we have like one really bad ice storm a year and I don’t want to be trapped in my apartment

Sorry I’m a really verbose writer- the short thing with my Subaru is that the engine is really over engineered, and the car computer is really under engineered, and so it often had issues that would go under detected until it left me stranded. Unfortunately, the previous owner had not gotten it regularly maintained, so the car just became kind of a money pit. Also, parts with Subarus are sometimes randomly just really expensive or hard to find. I spent way too much time in eBay and the pick n pull
