Reply to comment by Option_Perfect in Anyone know of places around that sell black wedding dresses or would be able to order them? by xDocFearx
I went here and tried on the ones they have and they are all STUNNING! I felt like a gothic queen and it was amazing. Urban Set is just an amazing place to bridal shop.

All are welcome just not only gay people or people who have been harmed by gender ideology and deserve a space free from it

I’d make them fire me over a rainbow sticker. But I quit teaching in Hanover after 7 years two weeks before the beginning of school bc they put me in a bad spot so obviously I don’t have much regard for their administration.

Reply to comment by FlexRVA21984 in Update: Henrico boy, 16, pleads guilty to fatally shooting Lucia Bremer, 13, in inexplicable killing by Charlesinrichmond
Obviously we're not. This is a horrific capitalist country that doesn't care about anyone. But all people deserve fundamental human rights, period, and if you don't believe that, you're headed toward eugenics. And again, people aren't born criminals or prisoners. By the way, prisoners are citizens too. Also, "people who break laws" is nearly everyone. If you've ever sped, smoked weed, jaywalked. If you're a mother stealing diapers and formula from a gas station. If you're addicted to drugs and have no way to seek treatment and can't control your behavior. I guess we're all disposable people to you, then?
The same argument is often used for immigrants, asylum seekers, people of various races, people of various classes... in the place of the word "criminals" here. At the end of the day, we're only going to spend money on wars, weapons, for our politicians to receive the sort of funding/healthcare/salaries that everyone should have, and of course, ensuring that the wealthiest people live in comfort while the poverty gap increases and our planet starts to melt and burn.
I'm just saying, philosophically, you're wrong.
You're right, nothing's going to change. Just remember that at the next mass shooting, the next dead preteen girl, the next homeless dead body on Richmond streets, the next unarmed Black person shot dead by a cop.
But hey, I'm sure throwing more and more people into jail will work. We've been trying the same thing since the beginning of the country. "Tough on crime!" but crime never goes anywhere. Racial imbalances in who gets arrested and charged. Overcrowded for-profit prisons. The only developed country that steal has the death penalty. Is America safe yet?

I've seen so much sketchy shit happen at 17th and Broad. Including people driving the wrong way.

I did this!! Legit the most fun/terrifying thing I have done. To include skydiving and ‘black water rafting’ which is basically tubing through a cave

Go bouldering, there was a recent post here about where to go (buttermilk trail)
Outdoor climbing wall in Manchester
Kayak the class 5 rapids near downtown
Bike the buttermilk trail
And another vote to try improv, now that’s scary

Do you have pictures of the inside of the space? Is it in need of renovation?

Doesn’t that thing require you to get literally thousands of dollars in donations to participate?

The season pass and food plan is definitely a killer deal if you like coasters or plan to attend holiday events. It ends up being a couple hundred bucks per individual, but when you factor in you literally have zero expenses aside from gas for the rest of the year it can quickly become super cheap entertainment overall.

I prize my wry sense of humor and wittiness. Unable to locate people who adequately appreciate those things in real life, I came to Reddit.

I take that route occasionally and many riders do indeed risk it.

How very “Christian” of the ones who banned it. Sky-daddy isn’t going to like this! Don’t they know he created the rainbow originally?

If anyone heard Bobby Vincent (head of DPW) talking at the 3rd District meeting the other night, they would know with certainty that fuckwit doesn’t care about pedestrians one bit. Car first city for that guy.

It doesn’t look like that intersection is in the area of focus. But also you’re taking your life into your hands if you try to cross there. Even when the crossing guards are there at Holton arrival and dismissal, I still see some reckless as driving.
But if I remember the conversation on the dangers of the AP Hill intersection correctly, it was around crashes, not pedestrian injury/deaths.

>Willow Lawn Dr. & W Broad St.
There's not even a crosswalk on the East side across W Broad St at Willow Lawn Dr. and that's where the Pulse ends and passengers have to transfer for travel to destinations further west. I know theres one on the other side but seems like many people will risk it.

Northampton, MA has the scramble with diagonal crosswalks and it's so smart in a college town.
