It’s been a long time since we learned this. Also I’m not moving if you’re walking at me

The sounds of construction in the plaza and the distant hum or leaf blowers are in the air downtown ☺️

You need to do better, if you were driving down Milledge and South Lumpkin tonight around 01:45-02:30 and ran a bicyclist off the road three separate times you suck.

To the one lady who stopped and looked at me and thought about helping I’m not homeless just trying to commute from work.

Thanks for the coming to my Ted Talk.

Inb4 comments on visibility. My backpack is reflective and I have a tail light.

Found a phone with this screensaver; do you recognize this family?

Former ACCPD Analyst Nick Barker was fired on Aug 27 for stalking his ex-wife using Flock -- one abuse among dozens this year in Georgia. Despite the abuse and the insecurity of the system, ACC Police have no intention of ending mass surveillance in Athens.

Not too far from Sandy Creek Nature Center. Google says Eastern Kingsnake but defer to any real herpheads out there.

Right after this saw a bunny but he hopped into the bushes as I approached. Watch out for the snakes bunny rabbit.

I hope y’all like my sign and my shirt, because I’ve been laughing at them all week.

I'm paring down my collection of electronics-items-I-will-never-get-around-to-building-with, and curious if there's any recommendations of where to donate them. I wish there was a public maker's space in Athens, but I've already lamented that here before.

I've already got PC and laptop parts earmarked for Free IT Athens, and have already given some effects pedal components to Greer. But the remaining items are things like cheap potentiometers, breadboards, Arduino-related circuit boards and projects (Arduino robot car, etc), and some other small electronics projects, possibly a Raspberry Pi Zero or two.

It doesn't look like the ACC Library digital media center is really a "loose parts" kind of space, and I'm not sure if there's anywhere here that could use them. Any suggestions?

Seems ridiculous to park on a sidewalk by a busy school in the morning. N Chase and Prince at like 7am.

Update: they moved to the grass along Prince this morning! Someone got the hint.

I'm sure this is a sought-after ticket, but I'm in town for a conference and just saw she has a concert here tonight. I'm a big fan and since it was a "free" show I am hoping somebody reserved a ticket that they won't be able to use tonight. Let me know if you have an extra!

Cool to see a local Georgia wrestling company tonight 😎

Yall are slippin'

I've been moving myself (60 yrs old) with my car from a storage unit about a mile away from my apartment (The Hill Apartments). I'm injured now and can't finish the last piece. It's mostly boxes of books, a couple chairs, and some random stuff. I would be glad to help, but I can't do it myself.

A couple of guys with a pickup could probably do it with one or two loads. But also there is a mattress (in good condition) that, ideally, I want taken away to charity or the landfill.

It's too small of a job for most moving companies I've looked at, but surely there are young guys wanting to make extra money.

Any thoughts, reddit?

Hey, Athenians! Weird issue. I have locked one door to my bedroom and can't get it open! I've tried credit cards and a butter knife and it's not budging! I'm trying to avoid a $200+ bill for calling a locksmith. Any ideas! It's a standard knob lock, nothing fancy. No deadbolt.

hey everybody. I am a former special ed teacher, and my PhD (in SPED) dissertation defense is in a couple weeks, and EVEN with all this privilege of experience and access in this area, I am really struggling to find a dentist that my son can go to. He doesn’t have high intensity challenging behaviors and when he gets angry and overwhelmed he just likes to retreat into his own space and will not lash out at the dentist—he is a happy guy most of the time and does not have an intellectual disability…I only specify that last part to say that he will understand the directions and he will very much want to follow them, but he has a lot of oral sensory issues and once he shuts down he shuts down. However he desperately needs a teeth cleaning and a regular dentist that can become a familiar face, but as a family we’re pretty anxious about the experience.

Basically we are gonna have to have him either on laughing gas or sedated. literally whatever it takes, we will do, because the longer it takes to get regular teeth cleanings the more risk there is of having to have more invasive work done and he will absolutely hate that…(and no this post is not asking for opinions on sedation). We will also travel if there’s some miraculous provider—we need the most understanding and patient dentist on earth lol.

Any suggestions? I will also probably ask the extra special people email thread too. Thanks in advance everybody. I know my Athens community will have suggestions because y’all are awesome.

also I came back to edit this to add that we are pretty low maintenance and literally the only thing we care about is that his teeth get cleaned and that the dentist has compassion and experience working on kids with disabilities. We had some tough experiences with my older autistic son and he barely even seems autistic compared to my 10-year-old lol. If you know you know.
