One Does Not Simply Move Into Seattle - A Thread on Escaping Here
So Seattle seems great compared to whatever you're dealing with in your neck of the country. Queer friendly, protections for bodily autonomy. You've heard its expensive but you'll make do, right?
Unfortunately I've run into multiple situations in which folks coming to Seattle have ended up sleeping rough. That's not great. The cops will take your stuff and run your camp off its land if enough Karens get tired of not helping you. I've decided to write a general guide on preparing yourself before you come here.
==========
1. Consider your needs
Before beginning your apartment hunt, consider:
- How many bedrooms will you need to house everybody in your group
- How much can you afford monthly for rent and pay for all the other things you'll need like utilities, internet, groceries, etc.
- Where will you need to commute to do your work
- Do you need in-unit/on-site laundry or can you take your clothes to a laundromat
- If you have a car, parking in a garage or on-site will cost extra (like $100/mo minimum)
- When must you move in

This is Minor Tom to Ground Control
I snuck in through the vents
And I packed a Lunchable and Sunny D
And I'm pressing all the buttons that I see
This is Ground Control to Minor Tom
You're still in seventh grade
And you're showing off the Lego car you made

Not sure folk are aware that using Google fonts by URL in their CSS undermines the privacy of each and every site visitor, sending their IP to GG with every visit. How? Because with each visit they download the font from GG, not your server.
If you will use GG fonts, don't do this
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=FontName[...]
Download that font, and resource it locally instead
@font-face {
font-family: FontName';
font-style: normal;
src: url('../fonts/FontName.woff2');
[...]
}
CW: Bio, health, teeth, anxiety, Seattle area request for help, (redrafted)
I have anxiety about my teeth. when I'm really high, i can imagine my mouth is dying. it sucks. I have anxiety about dentist. They are all experts in guilt, no matter how gentle they try to be, and every visit is just excruciating.
I still need recs for one, though. I need a lot of work. Preferably one with the good machines and surgeons and the Good drugs. femme dentist preferred. Queer friendly preferred
Thanks,

@Austin_Dern That depends on how you feel about case sensitivity.
@Austin_Dern I still capitalize Internet.
@packbat A big part of why I can't stand using standalone web-browser-that-only-goes-to-one-site clients is that all the browser plugins and other tools I have to overcome that sort of UI thoughtlessness are unavailable. Sorry that has bit ya!
Tron, guide me so that i can fight for the Users with all my strength and knowledge
Yori, bring me the fusion of clarity of vision and peace of mind so i can carry out my missions with diligence
Flynn, help remind me that there are no problems, only solutions; and keep me sane, man
Clu(1), help me to be dogged and relentless [let me at 'em!]
Ram, keep my will flexible and help me to see that it's all just zeroes and ones in the end
@Owlor She probably enjoys both! In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if she has some specific genre associations to help keep her in the mindset of whatever she's doing. Classical for research, indie rock for puttin' pen to paper, EDM for booty-shakin'....
IIMTAMC (If I may talk about my character), Millimax is a gentle artist and healer whose fave band "Go Krodd Go" is something like ska mixed with death metal. There's no accounting for musical tastes. *grin*
