Hey! Looking for queer spaces in Santa Maria to hang out and meet new people 💜

I used to sell dice from about 2021-2023, and got massively burned out with the capitalism of it all. I moved my whole setup to CA when I left TX, and decided to try making dice again - not to sell, but just as gifts for people. One thing leads to another, and I'm staring down a list of people I've promised dice to, and I feel terrible, but I've fully lost the burst of motivation that I had. Past me wrote a lot of checks that present me doesn't have the brain space to cash.

I don't want to let people down. How do you motivate yourself to cast on days where it's the last thing you want to do? I have executive function issues anyway, and now a good dose of guilt on top of it. Any advice is helpful, TIA!

Hello all! I've been a veterinary assistant for 10 years, and moved from TX to CA last year. I've been in small animal GP for nearly my entire career, and at an ultrasound referral clinic under a DACVR DVM for the past 6 months. It's interesting work, and I've learned a lot, but I'm starting to get the itch to go back to GP.

I have an interview lined up for next week at the nearby clinic I take my cats to, and if they can offer me more money/hour + discounted pet care, I'm inclined to take it. I got out of GP to begin with due to some burnout, hospital toxicity, and a very long (1 hour one way) commute. I'm trying to introspect and feel out whether I'd just be right back where I was re: burnout in GP, or whether I should stay where I am in referral land. The clinic I work for currently is a very small staff (3 people total including the DVM), so it's an interesting dynamic. The clinic I have an interview with is brand new, privately owned, and just opened last August.

Any insights would be helpful! TIA!

Does anyone have any experience working for Roo, but on the actual company/corporate side? If so, I would love to hear your insight! TIA!

Hello! 33F getting back into riding after my last ride when I was in my early 20s. My horse at the time was really hot and loved to rush/bolt off with me (in hindsight, wayyyy too much horse for me). The lesson horse I'm riding now in a group setting seems fairly forward/responsive without being too much, and his brakes are *okay enough.* 😂 I know my instructor won't let me come to grief, but any tips for getting over anxiety around being able to sit a lope confidently? Western riding 💜
