[Moving support] Portland, Oregon
7 months ago
Howdy, y'all. I'm following up on my previous post. I live in Portland, Oregon (I wasn't born here to be raised weird, I moved here because I am weird) as I alluded in my last post. It has problems (housing is getting expensive, a lot of homeless people, a proud boy presence(in the police!)) but, on balance, I think it's pretty great. It has a fairly bikable downtown (for the United States. Not for, like, Europe. Europe would probably shut the whole road system down), lots of great food, random neat things to see (the Japanese Garden, the Pinball Museum, the Bridge Pedal), and a generally weird and queer vibe.
If you need help moving here, I can help. Ways I could help:
*Help find an apartment to apply to (such as knowing which neighborhoods or complexes to avoid).
*Tour an apartment complex to see if it's clean/shady/maintained/safe, and help with any paperwork questions.
*Help look for jobs in the area, or help with paperwork (I respect the power ofthe written word beurocracy).
*Find local moving companies to help you unpack.
*Basically, be a "Boots on the ground" person that can do something that needs to be done here.
*Also, Trip planning: This may sound dumb but I like planning logistics. I enjoy planning trips, setting (realistic) schedules, booking stuff. Moving is a pain in the ass, and if you would like to offload the cross-country drive part of the move, I can help with that.
I can't promise I'll always be free (I work full time) but I'll do my best to work you into my schedule, as time and spoons allow. Just send me a note, no need post anything public. You can also talk to me on discord (Username: lorenipsun). We can work through this together. This is an open invitation to approach.
Sorry for all the segue humor. I know it's total tonal whiplash. That's how I'm dealing with the anxiety of posting this. I'm only human, too.For now, until I find the lamp.
