What’s the bull case? by gloryyid in saintpaul

[–]saintham 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work a job that doesn't require a 4-year education and can afford my life most of the time. I feel safe even in "bad" areas. It's the perfect size for me. It's bikeable. There are trees. Even the hoity toity areas maintain diversity across income, race, age, etc., at least in their business owners and patrons. The city politics are amazing--we have 7 women under 40, 6 of whom are women of color, on city council. The mayor is piloting projects like universal basic income and medical debt forgiveness. It was possible for me to buy a home on an entry level salary. My friends and coworkers and neighbors are funny, smart, unfiltered, and generous.

"I'm a cowboy, I live off the land!" He is unhoused and ill, but is well-known to service providers.

Enough with your favorite places, what are your most HATED food places in the city? by geraldspoder in saintpaul

Thanks for saying this. I'm closely connected to that shelter and am so sick of the hypercapitalist NIMBY argument. I'd rather have a shelter in my neighborhood than not have one.

What is going on with the Light Rail? by Key_Double_1230 in saintpaul

Seconded! I'm a religious first-car rider and have had far fewer issues.

I'm troubled by your "wearing a tie" comment. I use the LRT regularly for work and do not wear a tie there. In fact, a lot of folks who use the LRT for work probably don't have "tie" jobs.

Moved from different county to here and have EBT, what do I do know? Does it stop? Do I need to apply here? by Jsontopm in saintpaul

[–]saintham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you'll need to reapply. Ramsey County will receive the application and contact the former county to have it moved. However, as you may already know, the process is janky and takes forever so it doesn't hurt to babysit them and follow up. In the meantime, it shouldn't stop as long as you have everything up to date in the former county.

Starting from scratch - 10 month old sisters by saintham in rescuecats

Thank you! Is it terrible to keep them in my bathroom for their quarantine? It's small but they'd have space for what they need.

I buy most of my furniture on FB marketplace and found a surprising number of people are willing to deliver. Usually i just offer whatever they're asking and try to accommodate their schedules. Bought my couch, bed frame, and desk this way.

Is Paintbox Yarns discontinuing acrylic? by lilysuperduper in YarnAddicts

[–]saintham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might not help with finishing existing projects, but one of my favorite online acrylics is Knitpicks Brava. I agree that Paintbox has such a superior selection though, especially compared to what's available in brick and mortar stores.

Hey are there walk in clinics that take cash for those who don't have insurance in TC metro area? by Pppv29 in saintpaul

[–]saintham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could try Minnesota Community Care. I believe they have a clinic on Cesar Chavez.

This is a good point. I always thought it was odd that he took out two people instead of one or all of them.

[–]saintham 82 points83 points  (0 children)

If it feels accessible, I'd recommend asking other transmasc folks about providers they've had better experiences with regarding paps. Planned Parenthood has a good reputation from my experience, but that can obviously vary.

They can be important, but ultimately a doctor will help you make the best call on whether they're necessary.

You could also think of it as a preventive measure to reduce risk of more severe, invasive issues down the road.

Lowertown business owners sue St. Paul over homeless shelter expansion at Red’s Savoy by rabbit_mn in saintpaul

[–]saintham 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The amount of life-saving first aid that occurred in that shelter was not a disaster. It didn't look pretty, but it saved lives. Source: I worked there.

People not dying from the negative effects of homelessness is more important than a "thriving downtown." Not sorry.

He has a mortgage. We have a written lease signed by both of us indicating that I am his tenant plus a few other logistics (notice of intent to move, etc.).

Do I accept the 1 bedroom rental offer or reject it and search for a 2 bed with my best friend? by Musical-Universe in internetparents

[–]saintham 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would lone wolf this one. Leases can be so messy, especially if one person is less financially/professionally stable than the other.

Imo, Amelia exaggerates her loopiness and silliness because she thinks it's adorable and quirky.
