So when yall put “ short term fun” on your dating profiles, what does that mean? Are yall looking to hookup or just have fun dates, adventure etc in addition to sex ? I’m always confused because I get a lot of men liking my Leslie with that listed as their “ what I’m looking for”. Not sure how to interpret it.

Hey everyone. I am barely paying my bills right now. I would very much appreciate if someone could lend me $60 so I can buy laundry detergent, and wash my clothes/bedding ( I use community wash at my complex ). If I’m being honest, I’ve been wearing dirty clothes for like two weeks and I just want to feel like a human being again. I’d prefer Venmo but I have cashapp and Zelle <3

Thank you 💜

So almost two years ago I was in a relationship with a man that I absolutely adored and wanted to do everything with. We were engaged, gearing up to buy a house etc etc. Then one week before our wedding he changed. Became obsessive and violent. That weekend two days before our wedding he shot me 5x. My amazing hero dog jumped on top of him taking a bullet to the head and shoulder.. ultimately saving my life. I never really got closure. Seattles justice system honestly did nothing. He spent 14 months in jail and is out on probation. No restitution.. just a restraining order. I’m 26, partially paralyzed on the right side and obviously disabled.

Ive spent the last two years just trying to feel present in my body again. Those around me have pushed me to move on and not dwell on what happened. I’m not sure how though. It’s changed me completely. I view everything differently.

For the first time in a very long time I actually started to accept my new normal and have begun branching out again. Making new friends, even dating! Which has been awesome. It’s just, I carry this constant ache in my heart. I’m not sure it will ever go away, though I’m coming to realize that that her and joy can coexist.

I’m not sure if this is allowed but I have a GFM. As I’m disabled and cannot work as much as I’d like to and things have been a little tough lately. I’m trying to save up to get a surgery that may give me about 50-75% of the function on my right side back. If anyone would like to read my story. Let me know ! Also if you’re a woman in a toxic relationship, I’d love for you to reach out to me. I have been trying to get into mentoring women in abusing relationships. Mainly because when it was me, I didn’t notice the signs and it almost cost me my life. I don’t want other women to end up like me or worse 💜

I’m looking for a black hair stylist in Seattle, not surrounding cities that’s experienced with colors and cuts. Any recommendations ?😅 I know there aren’t many of us here. So if you’re a non black stylist with black clientele.. also open to that.

Long story short. I’m dealing with a discrimination issue at my private owned apartment building. Both HOA and landlord. I have a fairly strong case. Wanting to see if you guys could recommend someone who is open to contingency/low cost/fee shifting attorney to help me with this.

Thank you 💜

So I moved into a private owned apartment at the beginning June. I’m disabled, partially paralyzed from gun violence. I have two tasking service dogs. One is psychiatric, and the other for mobility. Legally I am not required to disclose my disability or my service animals. I have never had an issue with this as I’ve been a renter for years. However about a week ago, a mass email was sent out by the HOA detailing how residents should handle their animals in common areas. I didn’t feel it was directed toward me being that I’ve not had any incidents involving my service animals. Rather on several occasions other residents dogs have lunged and barked at us. Being transparent. I have large black dogs. I understand that at first glance they could appear scary. Though they are quite calm and very controlled. In short, my landlord reached out to me about them because other residents have been in talks about their presence in the building. I provided a doctors letter confirming my need. Haven’t heard back from landlord at all. Then today, I’m in the laundry room when a long time resident asks me if I’m the girl with the two dogs. I said yes. He then explained that certain residents have expressed their discomfort around my dogs. They look scary and are “ afraid to leave their units”. He noted that it’s nothing personal, it’s just a matter of liability if anything were to happen. I avoid main areas/hallways by taking the stairs for quick and easy exit. I have to enter through the main entrance as it’s the only way in from the outside. But I always wait if I notice someone is in the lobby.

I’m not sure how I should handle this. I feel heavily discriminated against. I’m one do the youngest in the building ( community has a lot of 40+ residents) and I’m a black woman. So I can’t help but to feel like I’m being perceived in a negative way based on stereotypes. I don’t know if I should reach out to a lawyer or not.

What would yall do ?

Been slammed with medical issues between both my dogs this month and truly I feel so guilty I can’t do more. As a dog owner I do my best to plan for the unexpected but even then.. stuff still happens. One dog needed emergency surgery. The other has bullet fragments in his head that have shifted between the eyes and is clearly uncomfortable. The surgery drained me. So it will take time before I’m able to help my boy, the dog that saved my life. I feel so much guilt about it. I love him so much and he’s getting older.

So we had another date last night. Such good vibes all around. I fully planned on making the first move and getting that first kiss… BUT I CHICKENED OOOUUUUTTTTTTTTT 😭😭😭 FAWK! Maybe next week one of us will have the confidence 🤣🥴

Side note: I have a thing for nerds and he disclosed to me that he enjoys watching mathematical videos on YouTube for fun😆 really as a way to decompress after long work days. So weird but so adorable.

Hi everyone, I’ve been looking for a new position for quite some time now and can’t seem to find anyone looking for more than 10-15hrs a week.

Maybe this is a long shot, but if there are any families in Seattle who are on the hunt for a high quality and full time nanny, please respond or dm me!

Thank you 🫶🏼🫶🏼

I’m a long time nanny. I recently ended a year long contract and can’t seem to find anyone looking for more than 10hrs a week right now. I was wondering if there may be anyone in this group who’s looking for a nanny? I’ve been in this career 8 years and don’t foresee myself transitioning out unless I’m forced to.

Thanks 🫶🏼🫶🏼

I’ll try to keep this short. I matched with a man on tinder about 3 weeks ago. He’s from rural china. I’m black American ( Louisiana Creole). Our cultures are wildly different and it’s very apparent in how we both choose to approach one another. However dating him has been so refreshing. He’s very respectful, nerdy, all the things. He’s contentedly taken me out every week since we met and we are going out again this Sunday night. Usually when I’ve dated a man a couple weeks we’ve at least shared a kiss. In this case, we have not. However I can quite literally feel the tension because when I’m talking his eyes constantly flutter down to my lips then back to my eyes. I’m wondering if it would be weird for me to make the first move? Or if I should allow him to build up the courage to do it himself ? He’s fairly timid and clearly a little shy. I don’t want to kill the vibes because like I said.. dating him has been a breath of fresh air for me.

Lastly, any advice on men from china in general would be great! I don’t know much about the culture and how they ago about things.

Thanks 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
