Does anyone know of any alt Black hairstylists? Or honesty just good hairstylists in general, that also work with natural hair (not just braids)? I'm desperate pls😭🙏🏾

Just moved here and I'm struggling to find anything:/
Edit: DMV=DC, Maryland, Virginia lol

How do I create an account? It won't let me do anything and just keeps freezing:/

I'm looking for adult ballet classes and good tide pooling spots. I'm very new to ballet and have only taken a few classes before I moved, but I'm struggling to find new classes here:/

I just moved to the DMV and was wondering about local ballroom culture? Especially in Maryland🫡

Hello! I purchased an item from a seller back in December, however they weren't able to ship at that time because of the tariff bs that was happening (I live in the US). But I've been asking for updates for the past 6 months, and they've kept telling me that they're going to ship. And they haven't shipped anything. Ofc it's way past the Depop protection time period, but I was wondering if there's any other route to report this fraudulent seller? I was thinking of reporting it as fraud to the federal government cause I've seen recent reviews on their account from people who had the same experience as me.

I don't think I've ever truly understood the emotional significance behind hugging? Growing up my family didn't really hug, and that didn't bother me cause it wasn't something that I even noticed until somewhere along the way hugs became important. And I've heard sentiments like a cup of tea feels like a "warm hug", but for me a cup of tea feels like a good book or song. I just want to understand cause I feel like I'm missing something and that there's something wrong about not wanting to hug? And it's not all physical contact I don't like, but I'd much rather bite/annoy the people I love than hug them😭 And I don't understand why people take it personal when you say you don't like hugs? Like yes ofc you can be upset/disappointed but I feel bad cause some people act like I took their hopes and dreams from them by declining their hug🫩. And if hugs sometimes didn't physically repulse me I honestly wouldn't mind, but they do. And since being diagnosed I've been working on honoring myself more cause I've been so focused on other people for as long as I can remember. Idk how autistics in cultures where kissing is the norm do it man I'd lose my shit😭

Hi! I've been thinking about it, and I'd like to start raising butterflies as a hobby. I remember in the first grade everyone in my class had their own caterpillars. And then we got to release them at the end of the school year. And I miss the joy from watching my caterpillar change and become something new and then go out into the world. Anywayyy does anyone have any recommendations in how to start? And where can I find information about native species, food, best seasons to raise caterpillars, etc?

I know that I want to be a physician scientist, I love research and medicine. I want to help create better health outcomes for patients and people who are ill. But I'm having a hard time formulating my "why" in a clear way, and I'll be applying next cycle so I want to start working on that sooner than later. What tips do you have for formulating your "why"? And if anyone used reflection questions pls share them:)

Hi! I plan on applying next cycle (2027), and I'd really love any advice people have to offer. Whether it's relating to personal statements, interviews, etc.
