Pay for lunch? No kid in Richmond has paid for lunch in YEARS.

I told my partner that I’d like to dress up as a radish, roll in dir and have sex but she’s wasn’t down?

May her memory be a blessing. 💜

Parking for the buses?

Sounds like a r/RVA worthy post

If you download the Native Land app (available on iOS and Android; run by Native Land Digital, a Canadian non-profit led by an Indigenous Board of Directors), it can show you which indigenous groups lived where you live now. For my home (southside/Chesterfield), the land belonged to the Powhatan people and for my work (Innsbrook area), the land belonged to the Monacan people.

I'll be making the mashed potatoes for dinner with my mom's family tomorrow if my hands will cooperate. If they don't, my spouse will do the potato cutting, but I'll do the rest. I'm taking a turkey-substitute log to my in-laws' tomorrow (I've already told them they don't need to eat it if they don't want to, I'm mostly bringing it because I want to try it and there are already plenty of other dishes being prepared).

Also, here is a follow up when Kamras talks about his excitement to rename the schools.

"I'm excited to go ahead and take the step," Kamras said in an interview Tuesday. "That will mean the end of schools named after Confederate soldiers in the City of Richmond, and that's a very exciting thing."

I keep seeing it suggested, but anyone who genuinely expects an underground rail system to come to Richmond is either naive or out of their minds.

I also come from NOVA and love to use the Metro up there, but it's made for a much bigger population (and much higher commuting population, at that) and famously comes plagued with its own delays. Much as I think trains are cool, a bus route is a much cheaper and suitable solution for Richmond. Love the Pulse for commuting.

16 years - moved to Boston for college and got stuck, permanent remote work means I could move back closer to family

Yup. It's why I never use the Pulse outside of commuting hours, but moreso about frequency.

I thought about taking it to a spot about two miles from Scott's and the arrival time went from 15 minutes to 30 to none at all. Last time I try that.

We’re chilling and prepping tomorrow for a Friendsgiving because we’ve made friends with a few international college kids @ VCU who shockingly have never celebrated Thanksgiving. We’ll have beer, soju, food, drinks, and lots of games to be played. Including drinking games 😂😂

One year. Moved to Charleston sc this year. Wayyyy overpriced and overhyped. Everyone here is from New York or Ohio. Can’t wait to be back in RVA.

My S.O. worked at Binford, she has so many sad stories about these kids.

It still boggles my mind that kids are forced to pay for lunch at a public school. Hell increase my taxes to offset lunch costs for all children in Richmond.

Was supposed to work a half-day today, but the Big Big Bosses surprised us all yesterday and said "nah, we're just going to close the whole day. Enjoy yourselves!"

Tomorrow I'll go out and spend the day with my dad, who starts cancer treatments on Monday. It's not going to be a big holiday feast, just everyone bringing a little something and more about family time than stuffing our faces. It's going to be a different holiday season, that's for sure. I just hope it's not the last one.

So today I went out and bought a small Christmas tree and some trimmings and put it up in the bedroom. Christmas lights just make me feel better.

Plants can be named after people too. So careful with that slippery slope.

We should just start numbering schools. I agree that the famous confederate don’t need to have schools named after them — especially when they had nothing to do with education — but these were just Virginians basically. I guess I learned something about Virginia history today.

Someone left one at my place, I think it's a sugar glider or something similar? It's very wide, but might not work if you're like six feet tall.

Want to borrow a hammock: does anyone around Richmond have a hammock that is good for sleeping that I could borrow to test out? At least a few days would be cool, a couple weeks even better.
I got a hammock stand, a Kammock Swiftlet and thought afterwards that I might could sleep in it to help my increasingly painful lower back. A lot of reviewers commented that it's low spread distance compared to other stands makes it hard to sleep in, especially if you're taller. I'm not tall, but I kind of feel like my Eno SingleNest makes it hard to get a good diagonal. I could be wrong, I've only ever taken a few naps in hammocks before. Just wanted to try another hammock before I buy one. I'm guessing a two person might be better or one longer than the Eno I have, since it'd be wider in the middle?

If local restaurants offered free meals they would be a surprise success as well.

Free - Broken 55” Visio tv. Powers on but screen just displays blurred white. Maybe you can fix it or scrap it for parts. https://i.imgur.com/ga0uNTb.jpg

Don’t give the mayor any ideas. We’ll be calling it VCU in exchange for a few dollars to his super pac.

I remember going to Binford as a young lad thinking, there’s no way that school will be open in 25 years as asbestos tiles fell on our head in 100 degree classrooms on the 3rd floor. Guess I was wrong.
