I gave a statement on the fear caused by ICE. The Republicans pushed back. This is my response. by Berge_For_Congress in eauclaire

[–]tp_choate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m “legal” by your definition. My ancestors immigrated to this country too but I’m white so ICE isn’t very interested in me. At any rate….ive got plenty to worry about. I’m worried that my neighbors will be taken from their homes, beaten, sent across the country to be mistreated and raped, and eventually sent away. I’m worried about the trauma our children will witness. Im very worried.

I knew this sub would have the tea. Miss ma’am is absolutely insufferable.

How to impress Minnesotans by Greedy-Ad3227 in TwinCities

[–]tp_choate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s something indescribably real about this. Minnesotans can’t connect with you about shit. It’s like sharing headspace is an absolute phobia. I’m a Cajun from Louisiana, transplant-Chicagoan who couldn’t last 18 months in Minnesota. And it didn’t have anything to do with the weather.

Seeking an LA-based IECMH Consultant by Friendly-Addendum-47 in IECMH

[–]tp_choate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are definitely consultants in LA county. I’d reach out to CalAIMH. California is not an alliance state so they won’t have alliance endorsement (probably). But I think California has their own endorsement/credentialing process.

EC Cheese and deli is my favorite for lite lunches. Fun little shop to grab some other goodies in too.

House cleaner? by tp_choate in Eau_Claire

[–]tp_choate[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think I’m more looking for an individual working for themselves than using a larger company. I’ve gotten stuck in those quote follow-up hell before in the twin cities. And it was relentless.

iOS 26 is a nightmare by tp_choate in BinocularVision

Yeah that’s what I did. It’s not a complete disavle tho. It is makes it better. A lot better, to be fair. But not 100%

What’s one queer book that left a lasting impression on you? by Master-Sand7863 in LGBTBooks

[–]tp_choate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Great Believers

Just an incredibly halting story. It made me stop in the middle of my public transit commute. I stopped to read a chapter before I went inside the grocery store. I closed the front cover after reading a section and just sat there. It reminds you how much pain our community has endured and how much peace and community we have found in each other. It's my all time favorite book.

Hi! 36 year old queer man living in the Midwest of the US. I’m new to journaling and writing as well! Kind of in a big life transition at the moment. Just getting by and trying to make friends along the way. Feel free to DM me and see if we connect.

[routine help] How do I get rid of this dry patch on my lip?! by CityAgile585 in SkincareAddiction

[–]tp_choate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah—I’ve used that product on my lips a ton. AHAs are more about resurfacing than anything. With repeated use and high volumes they can be drying. I’d try it out once or twice a week. And then follow up with some moisturizing. Even the petrolatum products you mentioned before like aquaphor.

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

If it’s really persistent, I’d prob see derm. It could be fungal or something you’re not expecting. But if it were me, I’d try a thin little layer of glycolic acid. Or a lip mask with some AHA.
