do you know some cultural differences between the east & west coast in the usa? it sound quite interesting since it's such a large country

i wish i lived in your beautiful world anon. to explain, the west coast is full of annoying passive aggressive hikers who sincerely care more about the beauty of nature than being around friends, or finding true happiness. it is a total dearth of excitement and culture, a sort of black hole of meaning stretched across the continent. However this state of being is vastly preferable to that of the east coast, which is full of italians.

How to have a succesful indie porn career!!!

1) Get a studio apartment in a city with affordable rent and then never move.

2) Live in a city with good public transit so that you won't have to own a car or take ubers.

3) Be in a place with free healthcare.

Oh to own an apartment with big windows and enough room to fit a long table and a kitchen with a oven that can fit a baking tray or a casserole dish so i can cook for my friends and we can eat under candle light and maybe there could even be a big soft couch with soft blankets and soft pillows where the ones who have stayed until the moon hangs heavy in the sky can sleep over and maybe theres a bath with i can sit and think and exist and maybe there can even a cat whom i share my home with and cuddle up to me in the dead of winter

i’m moving to new york in like 5 months because i got a job offer and just kinda impulsively said yes… any advice for new ppl moving to new york :’) im kinda worried

first off congrats on the job!! That’s so exciting and will probably make things easier in a lot of ways, that was the hardest part of getting an apartment for me and the job market here (like most things) is pretty competitive.

That being said I highly recommend looking into what apartment hunting is like here well in advance. Not just researching neighborhoods (it’s good to check which trains go to where you work, if you’ll be going in) but also dealing with brokers fees and knowing what amenities you need, figuring out if you’ll want roommates, etc, since my experience was basically that you need to be ready to apply on the spot when you tour, especially in the summer. There’s a lot of resources and a whole Reddit page dedicated to renting here that I found pretty helpful. I had a sublet for 2 months so I could have time to find an apartment. Things on there go quickly but listings project can give you a good idea of what’s out there, I think I found my apartment on streeteasy but toured like 15 places altogether.

In terms of other things, you’ll figure out the trains and navigation with time. What I wish I had done differently is doing as much as possible with the initial inertia of when you first get here: reaching out to any connections, dating, buying crazy shit on Facebook marketplace, exploring neighborhoods. It’s totally overwhelming but also highly motivating because you aren’t grounded by anything yet. Once I got settled and more secure I definitely lost most of that energy and I wish I had done a bit more when I had it, I feel like I’m just now trying to explore on my own more months later. Oh and download the got2gonyc bathrooms google map, it will probably save ur life at some point.

Honestly everything else (friends, activities, go to spots) I’m still very much figuring out for myself! It’s a unique city from everywhere else I’ve lived and it’s normal to take a long time to adjust (again I still am). Say yes to any opportunity you can to meet new people and try new things. Read up on the history of where you live and the places you go and be mindful of others around you. I find that New Yorkers are not always “friendly” but tend to be mindful/look out for others and are quite willing to strike up a conversation, at least compared to the PNW where I’m from. In general, people are pretty open to meeting up but it can be hard to really get to know one person. Wishing you all the best with the move and again congrats 💓💓
