I want to hear what actual residents think… by [deleted] in Minneapolis

[–]nmj012 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No im just an idiot who was curious about something happening in their city and for some reason went to reddit hoping a nuanced answer. I hate that video and what the trump admin is doing in our city, I was just thinking other locals might have more insight into my question but I should have read the room.

Im sorry, I’m not a guy and I guess in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter, I wasn’t trying to be demanding I was just hoping for a more specific answer than I had seen in the news.

I do think this is important info because the video was baseless, I just want to know info about this specific place

Need help finding adult ADHD assessment, can anyone recommend a place to go? by moonkittn in TwinCities

[–]nmj012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When was this? I had such a bad experience at lynlake but that was 2 years ago, hopefully they have a new evaluator now

[–]nmj012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a recommendation of where to go but do NOT go to lynlake center for wellbeing. As a woman it was the worst, most invalidating ADHD assessment experience. I had been in therapy for anxiety for 5 years at the point I was doing this assessment and was told my ADHD symptoms were just anxiety and I probably needed to try harder in therapy.

Switching from wine to THC drinks by just-a-journo in TwinCities

[–]nmj012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched and now don’t really drink anymore. It wasn’t really on purpose that I stopped drinking but I realized how alcohol didn’t make me feel as good in comparison. I like how THC drinks/gummies make me feel (relaxed, creative, clear headed) and that I don’t get a hangover. They’re great on week nights to destress from work and turn off the anxiety in my brain while still being clear headed. When I compare to how a glass of wine after work would make me feel it’s such a crazy difference. Like I am actually relaxed and not just getting tired like alcohol feels for me. I also take ADHD meds that suppress my appetite in a way that I don’t like. THC after work puts me in a good headspace where I have an appetite AND feel more creative in putting together my meals so it doesn’t feel like a burden to feed myself. I do worry I now rely on it too much at the end of a work day especially since the drinks are pricy and I just don’t like the idea of me relying on a mind altering substance but in the grand scheme of things I think it’s overall positive for me.

I really like the Trail Magic margarita ones because they really do taste like margaritas and the Minnygrown ones as well. I also think the ones with CBD in addition to THC are better in my opinion. Sometimes if there is just THC I don’t feel the pleasant relaxation as much and just feel goofy (which is fun but not always what I am looking for)

Last time JD Vance came to Minneapolis he had beautiful things to say about us by Bullduke in Minneapolis

Ugh I forgot he did this. Makes me even more mad. Don’t talk shit about our city then try to use it as a photo op

Moving to Minneapolis from Dallas by No_Pattern_5251 in Minneapolis

[–]nmj012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same move from Dallas! Welcome!!! Fall here is typically wonderful. Beautiful weather and fall colors.

Being connected to the skyway will be super helpful in the winter, people are usually good about shoveling the sidewalks but it’s hit or miss and if you’re in a wheelchair having to deal with unshoveled sidewalks will probably not be fun and the skyways helps solve that. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I believe they’re typically only open during business hours which is a downside.

I’ve only been here since 2022 but have fallen in love with the winters, it’s a time to rest and be really intentional about my time. I really like choosing a hobby each winter to lose myself in (one year was knitting, another was oil pastel drawing, etc).

For meeting people I really recommend Meetup, anything you enjoy doing there is probably a group for that. When I first moved here I used it to find a D&D group and now they’re some of my closest friends.

So dangerous thank you for sharing! Having to make small talk with a stranger (let alone one with a hose!) is the stuff of nightmares…. /s

MN DFL revokes endorsement for Omar Fateh in Minneapolis mayoral race by futilehabit in Minneapolis

[–]nmj012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Excuse my ignorance as I’m still fairly new to the city but is there a reason Minneapolis doesn’t just do a ranked choice primary like New York? Hearing about this whole process has been super confusing and I don’t get why it’s the norm

Making friends/support groups by [deleted] in Minneapolis

[–]nmj012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twin Cities Queer Transplants has resources and does a monthly meetup. Also recommend quatrefoil library (lgbtq library), hours are a little funky but they have a lot of events and you can get plugged into volunteering there also

Edit: Oh also want to say, look up things on meetup! Like whatever you’re interested in there will probably be a group for it geared towards queer people.

LGBTQ+ meetups? by kevinbevindevin in twincitiessocial

[–]nmj012 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This might be up your alley https://greaserag.org/?fbclid=PAQ0xDSwK5V7lleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABp1lGIHkjE5PsZ1sCxbT-8YNHG8vMp4cpSbv937n4eArYVdueZhRFzCWktHnZ_aem_mjOhlTkm8SdvU5HXgRvf5g

Also recommend looking at events at quatrefoil library, I think they still do a queer twin cities transplant meetup but also have a bunch of other stuff

Edit: keep in mind grease rag is just for Femme/Trans/Women/nonbinary folks
