Just me but Bloemfontein is getting depressing as a adult.

I swear it feels like there is never anything to do and making friends as a adult is close to impossible.

Good tattooshops in Bloem?

I'm at the end of my exchange (Im a student from the Netherlands, came here in september) and I want to get a tattoo to remember my time here. I'm thinking of getting "shap shap, sisi!" since both of those sayings have been said to me, and I like that it's like something positive. I've looked around for a shop, and so far most shops here just aren't as clean as I want them to be? Maybe I'm too critical, but if anyone has any good recommendations I'd really appreciate it. Especially a shop that specializes in text? And that isn't... yknow dodgy? I really fell in love with the people here, and Id love to get the tattoo done here instead of at home <3

Runners of Bloemfontein - can I run alone?

I'm a female runner in my 20s moving to Bloemfontein from Johannesburg.

I'm posting this on Reddit so obviously I either know very little people in Bloem, I'm shy, or both.

The people I do know, are short distance walkers (emphasis on the short), don't know what "pace" means, shoots me a weird look when I tell them I enjoy running, or only run when their lives are in danger.

My significant other is not a runner.. or a morning person. I usually run with my parents and their running buddies and clubs (they are super fast for 50 year olds by the way), but obviously they won't be moving with me.

My s/o forced me to ask: Is it easy to find a running club (that's not running in the fiery heat from hell that possesses the town in the summer time)?

But if all else fails - is it safe to run alone as a female?

Edit: thank you for all the comments, I appreciate all the advice - definitely taking them to heart :)

South Africans’ perceptions of the different social groups in our country

Hi everyone. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop and view this post. As I have mentioned I am conducting research for the completion of my PhD in Psychology at Stellenbosch University. I am exploring South Africans’ perceptions of the different social groups in our country. This study has been approved by the Research Ethics Committee: Social, Behavioural and Education Research at Stellenbosch University (Project ID#: 27737). If you are a South African who is over 18 years old, please consider completing this survey by following the link: 

https://redcap.sun.ac.za/surveys/?s=XMP47W9YD3N9L9EN

I would also greatly appreciate it if you would share this post, that way it can reach as many people as possible. 

Thanks again!

Looking for queer hairdressers

I'm looking for a seasoned hairdresser that knows how to achieve queer looks and can also cut curly/waivy hair. I know many other people in the community around Bloem that are hesitant to cut their hair because we don't know where to go! Thanks!

Saturday at the Supertubes

Hi - hoping to reach the couple I met at the park. I had finished packing up, but somehow we ended up picking up a black bag, that had refreshments for the couple that took our spot. I am so sorry. I hope it didn't put too much of a dampener on your afternoon. Once again, my apologies. Regards, The Cape Town Lady.

Remote work, it really works

Hey

Outlier is hiring in MASS in South Africa similar to Amazon and the likes. Yes the pay is legit and the work is remote. Give it a try if you have wifi and a laptop or if you know anyone who has been unemployed even those who couldn’t get a summer job. I am on it so pop me a message if you are struggling with anything. The link below takes you straight to the South African Campaign.

Looking for a Small Business Owner to Build a Free Website! You Only Cover Hosting

Hey everyone! I’m launching a new web design business and want to help a few small businesses get online with a professional website. Here’s the offer:

I’ll design and build your site completely for free — all you’d need to pay for is hosting (which is generally affordable). In exchange, if you’re happy with the site, I’d appreciate a video testimonial and referrals to others who might be interested.

It’s a win-win if you’ve been wanting to get a website but haven’t taken the leap yet, or if you’d like to improve your current site. I’m excited to work with small businesses and show the quality of my work.

If this sounds like something you’re interested in, send me a message! Let’s make it happen 🚀

PrDP proccess

Does anyone know the process to applying for a PrDP? I took fingerprints and eye test 2 weeks ago. They told me to come back 2 weeks later(which is like last tuesday). But they now tell me I have to take eye test. I mean, do I have to do an eye test again? Could they be mistaken? The lady said she is going to have a look in their system and came back to ask me where the forms are. What forms do I need to bring back?

If anyone can explain, please do. Thank you.

Looking for connections around here

I (23 F) recently moved to Bloem (first time here lol) and it’s been quite lonely. Just in general I seem to be struggling to make friends (especially ones in close proximity to me) I’m really interested in connecting with some people (preferably from 21-30y) Even if over the phone first before we actually meet up, for safety purposes too! disclaimer, very much part of the lgbt community so :)
