I spent three hours on the phone with Verizon tech support mere weeks ago about this same and other issues so you don't have to. The long short of it is that if you have Verizon service or use a service that has Verizon backbone, call and complain about the service to as many tiers of support you can stand. They will tell you it's your phone case, they will tell you it is your outdated phone that you bought last week, they will tell you you are at a low elevation, they will tell you that the layers of paint that hold your house on grace street together are too much for the signal density required to provide reliable cell service. They will then try and convince you that you must change your router into a base station and always have your phone service be supplemented by WiFi. These are various levels of accurate mixed with fuck right off. Call and complain. Call and complain. Call and complain. The metrics that are generated are the only way to expedite the studies that lead to coverage upgrades. Fuck Verizon. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk. Holy buckets I hate Verizon.

Does anyone know of somewhere to drop off compost? I goofed up and missed my normal pick up day because of Thanksgiving, so now I just have a lot of compost.

An acquaintance of mine had an anti-gay billboard go up in her town in NY state. She found out who owned the billboard and wrote them a letter informing them what was posted on the billboard. I guess they don’t review it before approving it?! Seems crazy.. but anyway, she wrote a letter (and maybe had friends/family write letters of support too, I’m not sure) and they actually took the billboard down and allowed her to post something supporting lgbtq+ for free.

It’s much more accessible than Maymont. Ramps in almost all the places that have stairs. The path lighting isn’t great but it does exist. Much more accessible than other parts and events in town.
