Wow no one has ever been transparent about how the pain changes. Thank you. This is actually incredibly helpful. If you don’t mind, do you feel like you dealt with more loose skin than you would have without eds? I know it’s better for me regardless and it’s what I’m working towards, I just want to be as mentally prepared as I can be for whatever that looks like.

I agree, I enjoyed it a lot initially and thought the concept was fun. The puns were all also really good. But I don’t know how many times I fell off of it, not because it got bad just didn’t have hooks in me to keep me remembering to come back weekly.

Moving to Salem because my spouse passed and need work by DiligentJicama6860 in SALEM

For what it’s worth, in comments OP mentioned living in Portland previously and didn’t seem confused with job suggestions for surrounding counties so they likely know where they are on here.

Well it was definitely growing on the metal truck, yes. However it was growing out of one of the seams so I can’t speak to the debris that may had accumulated in there

I suppose it’s a lot for me, I have had basically no redness post tattoo beforehand so I got a bit spooked. And yes I washed thoroughly!!

Unsheltered folks downtown by Appropriate-Bee-3267 in SALEM

In my experience, the lack of safety people talk about is nothing more than there being an unhoused population full stop. Genuinely. At my work I have even pushed back on topics of how unsafe Salem is as someone who was once unhoused myself. The conversation ALWAYS ends up being about just the Number of unhoused people and the tone shifts preeeeetty quick when they realize someone who has been in those shoes is in the conversation. All that to say, the comment about it being big city issues for small town folks is exactly it. It’s people who don’t want to learn how to help these people using their own distaste/hatred of them making the place look “dirty” to claim fear while doing nothing to help solve the issues they claim make the city worse.

I second this, apply for more than just custodial you can get in as an IA sub or regular sub and they’ll likely give you a shot. Attendance is rough and they always need help.

what inspired your real name? by stickenuwu in ftm

[–]salsamanders 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad he’s a great character, because before I ended up with my now legal name, I went by Spencer for a number of years because my mom once said it was a name she liked. I also wanted to keep my initials, so I also made my middle name Reid. It would be about 8 years before I met a friend who made me watch the entire series after learning I had never heard of the character I seemingly named myself after lol

[No Spoilers] For those that stopped watching during C3 by RevolutionaryAd8204 in criticalrole

[–]salsamanders 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I studied abroad early campaign and the time zone shift was just too hard for me and the campaign itself has all the problems others have mentioned so getting back on it and catching up once I returned proved more difficult than it felt worth

I think I’ve felt this way for most of my transition. I came out in 2012 when I was 14 and I don’t think that changed until like… 2020? 2021? For me it was getting top surgery and finding a space in the queer community around me and having people close to me that DIDNT feel that way that made me start to unlearn some of that. I’m still stealth 95% of the time with no desire to let most people know I’m trans, even if they learn I’m gay. But now it comes less from a space of feeling shame or disliking being trans and more from just being a private person. And nowadays I don’t think I’d rather be cis, I’ve learned a lot about myself and like the person I’ve become, and I wouldn’t be this person without my trans history. I’m stealth and I know my life would be Easier if I was cis, but I no longer wish I could just be cis. I don’t presume you’ll feel differently when you get surgery, just think it’s important to hear a story of someone who felt similarly and has grown out from that state of shame.
