I'm starting to establish a presence at this coffee shop and that's pretty neat.

A couple of the other regulars have introduced themselves to me in passing. As the most overtly queer person I've seen at this establishment, being welcomed like that goes a long way to making me feel comfortable here. ♥️

There is this coffee/vape shop that my pharmacist buddy really likes. It's got that same sort of feel.
I like that independent coffee shops still kinda act like community hubs.

@Irick Same!! My first introduction to a "safe space" was an LGBTQ+ friendly coffee shop in my home town in quasi-rural Minnesota, so I've always had an appreciation for coffee shops as community spaces ♥️

@Irick @mawr I miss the coffee/food place I'd often ditch class and hide out at a looot
