    Heck yeah I'll share when it's done :D It's been a really fun experience making it too. The measuring and cutting and sewing was really zen. I'm already planning my next project lol

    I'm hoping to finish the quilt I've been working on! It's the first quilting/sewing project I've attempted and I'm really excited about it :)

    To be fair, it's a lot easier to "not be bitter" when your social identity categories aren't condemned and vilified by a large portion of society...

    I've never lived in a newer house (or at least not one with a water softener) nor had a fridge with a built in water dispenser. We've always used a Brita filter for drinking water. Having to fill it up so often and wait for it to filter before being able to drink is annoying. I was definitely used to it when having to deal with shitty tap was all I knew, but after living somewhere with good tasting water straight from the tap I really wouldn't want to go back ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    This is quite a good question and something I've been thinking of for awhile actually. For me, my 5 would be:

    1. Diverse grocers. Like you I love to cook and love experimenting with different cuisines that require specific ingredients. I absolutely want to live someplace with lots of import markets and access to uncommon ingredients.

    2. As someone who loves the ocean, I really want to live somewhere within day-trip distance to a beach. Doesn't have to be a tropical white sand beach, but it's a must for me personally to live close to the ocean.

    3. Similar to the diverse markets, a diverse restaurant scene. I want to live somewhere I could eat German food one day and Ethiopian food the next. Coming from a small town with few options, I very much relish the ability to eat diverse cuisines and would only want to live somewhere where that's a possibility.

    4. Very specific to me, but I'd ideally appreciate a place that has a large population of pet rat owners or people who are interested and know about pet rats. I've kept rats as pets for a long time and have had trouble finding veterinarians who are knowledgeable in rodent care, as well as just finding other stuff who love keeping rats as pets. So living somewhere where vets for rats are readily available is quite important to me.

    5. How many museums and art galleries there are. I love going to museums and so definitely would want to live in a place with a lot of local ones :)

    For sure about bisexuality. I've known I was bisexual and been out about it from a young age and I STILL have trouble feeling valid and question my bisexuality since I'm a women in a relationship with a man. I've been rejected by gay women and fetishized by straight men for being bi. I've been involved in the LGBT community since childhood and even as an out and proud bi woman, I still feel relagated to being just an ally and an outsider.

    I try not to be self pitying and "woe is me", but bi erasure really does get to me. I identify with and feel much closer to the bi community than to the LGBT community as a whole.

    I'm not a huge fan of metal, but one of my close friends is. Got any recs for some underrated deathcore/death metal bands?
