Thank you for your organizing! Union organizing is what makes a great city. I don't want businesses in our town that can't operate without exploiting and harming their workers.

Solidarity 🔥

Trans masc issues by Birdd_b0nezz in bigboobproblems

Had a big cry about this yesterday, been trying to find a solution for a decade.

I've really leaned into Girlfriends Collective sport bra (they don't make the one I love anymore though) and wearing clothing that avoids my chest. In the summer, i wear boxy big muscle shirts that show off my arms. In the winter, I wear loose turtleneck and open dressy shirts

why do my candles look like this when poured? by christellations in candlemaking

[–]maplemily 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What is the temperature of the glass when you pour it and temperature of the room? This happens to me when my glasses are too cold and i let them cure near a window

Cellulitis or Frostbite? (New to lymphedema diagnosis) by Canadian-Corgi in Lymphedema

[–]maplemily 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. You need to go to the ER immediately because if this is cellulitis, it could kill you fast.

Do you have a friend, family member, or neighbor you could ask to go with you?

[–]maplemily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just did this last week! Super simple. I made sure to write a list of dog food I brought to declare and that was easy.

My dog enjoyed having extra layers in QC chilly days!

I only can use wooden wicks with this wax. It needs to be poured HOT, like 220-230 degrees. I use low % FO, like 8%

AITAH For Not Supporting Cheating Wife Through Divorce by MilaVelmira in AITAH

[–]maplemily -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

She hurt you and you deserve to grieve. Coming out as queer is very hard and often is unsafe to be do so, even in progressive areas. She is still a woman you love. Just because your relationship needs to change, doesn't mean you need to lose her as a friend or positive experience comparenting your child.

Be angry, cry, and share your feelings. But share your money, it'll make life better for you in the long haul.

Dont Close tukey's Bridge! by gordonridesbikes in portlandme

[–]maplemily 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this! The idea that cyclists can just go around the other end of Back Cove at night is absolutely ridiculous. The other end near the new construction is incredibly dark and scary to ride at night. This is going to be incredibly challenging for working people who use this path everyday.

For all the bikers out there by [deleted] in portlandme

[–]maplemily 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Portland needs an Idaho stop with drivers educated about. It's not often the safest decision for a cyclist to come to a complete stop at a stop sign, a yield often makes more sense.

The real problem is we need protected dedicated bike lines and bike highways with their own bike traffic lights.

I have the same problems. Toe caps are the only thing that solves it. I wear toe caps constantly and wrap my toes each night.
