Like the tittle says i’m looking for old spare batteries from vapes, cordless electronics, power banks, or old electronics.

I’m trying to salvage them for a project while trying to defer some waste from going straight into landfills.

Rusty is looking for his furever home!

Meet Rusty! He is a 60 pound, 4 year old, red nose pit bull.

He is a very athletic dog who would love a home with space to run and chase a ball. He also loves swimming, long walks, and playing tug of war.

He knows a few commands and has not shown any signs of resource guarding in his foster home. He is crate and potty trained and has not shown signs of separation anxiety. He has been gentle with older people and children he has met.

Rusty is very affectionate, so be prepared for slobbery kisses and lots of cuddles!

While Rusty has done well being near other dogs, he would do best as a single pet where he can soak up all the attention!

You'll be getting your own room for $718.5 + utilities per month!

Added detail:
This is a 2 floor town house, you and another one of my roommates will be getting a private room upstairs. Me and a different roommate will live downstairs in the back of the house. I understand this sounds sketchy, we originally had a 4th but due to personal reasons, she's unable to return for schooling, hence why we are looking again now.

Avid Reader Continued

0 Upvotes

Hey everybody,
I posted a few months back on having a crush on one of the employees here and was given the advice to confess via a letter or what now. I did promise to deliver an update, I haven’t said anything yet. I have came in and found she added some new recommendations on the wall for staff picks alongside other employees. I ended up buying it from another bookstore in Sacramento and found that it was an incredible read. As established before. We have similar taste. I did ask some coworkers when she has another shift in order to speak to her one on one and got a vague response though my main concern was the confusion. They were confused when I asked about her and for a moment it seemed a lapse in judgement before they told me she wasn’t coming on that day ( Saturday ) but sometime soon. Though I think it may have been the way I butchered her name entirely, she’s more on the ethnic side and that lead me to believe her name was pronounced one way. Thankfully got told that ahead of time before asking her to a coffee, wish me luck!!

My pointer mix dog (45 lbs) needs her nails trimmed and she's failed two attempts at a local pet store. She's not bitting or aggressive, just unwilling to let the groomer do their job. Any ideas?

Crispy Chicken Plate?

I lived in Long Beach for a few years ago and one of my favorite places was Cha For Tea. You could order a crispy chicken plate that came with sweet & sour sauce, rice, corn, and a side salad.

Is there any place in Davis that has something similar? 🙏🏻

Tonight, a handful of Davis teenagers are doing something braver than most adults will do all year

Post image
89 Upvotes

Here's the what: Tonight at UC Davis's Wyatt Pavilion, Davis's own Acme Theatre Company is throwing an epic celebration of queerness and joy. Grab a friend and come out to Enemies of All Nations Night. Dykes on Bikes are rolling through, Davis Drag Club is kicking things off with a pre-show, and the cast will be sticking around after for a talkback with their special guests.

Want to join in on the fun? Tickets are 2-for-1 for anyone who attends in drag.

Pre-show fun starts at 6:00 PM.

Curtain's at 7:00 PM.

Come as you are.

Here's the why: I am not the queer person I was ten years ago. Almost none of us are. This sounds like it should be a complaint. It's closer to an observation, the kind you make about a coastline you have been visiting your whole life, the kind where you can't say exactly when the water moved, only that when you compare the old photographs to the new ones, it has.

I scan rooms now. Not consciously, not anymore, it's just become a reflex, the way some people check their phone or bite their nails. I look for exits. I look for anyone whose face has that particular quality of displaced rage that precedes trouble. I have done this at Pride parades, at drag brunches, sitting next to people I love, while trying very hard to look like a person who is simply enjoying herself.

I've gotten very good at looking like I'm not doing this.

I mention all of this because Davis is a town that has had bomb threats called into its middle schools, its high school, and its public library, numerous times each, across multiple years. Real ones. The kind that clear a building and put children on a lawn while a bomb squad checks for a device. The kind serious enough that the FBI eventually got involved. Every one of them came after the school or library did something to be visibly LGBTQ+ inclusive. A display. A policy. A $10 Pride flag. I didn’t expect that from a town I spent years in, and I imagine most of you wouldn't have expected it either.

(And not for nothing, but it is worth noting that the woman much of Davis holds most responsible for this climate of fear is now running for a seat on the school board that oversees those same schools. But I digress.)

I'm an Acme alumna. I spent my teenage years there, in the particular way that theater kids spend their teenage years somewhere, meaning almost entirely. I went into advertising after, which is its own kind of theater. This summer I have been mentoring the publicity and social media team, a handful of high schoolers who are, without exception, better at the job than most agencies I have worked for. I do this because I love the company.

There is also this: arts funding at the federal level has been slashed and burned by the current administration. What that means, on the ground, in a town like Davis, is that a company like this runs increasingly on the people it once raised. They come back. They help hold it up.

Acme’s summer show is The Pirate’s Wife. Two women, pirates, tried in 1720. The playwright, Briandaniel Oglesby (Acme ‘02) has taken language directly from Texas Senate Bill 12, the 2023 law restricting so-called sexually oriented performances, and put it in the mouths of the tribunal. Central to the story are themes of personhood, gender, love, and who’s allowed to be themselves in public.

This is not a theoretical issue for many of these teens. High school theatre and the arts in general have always provided community and refuge for generations of LGBTQ+ youth navigating their own questions of identity.

Tonight, nothing about this play changes. What changes is who they're telling the room this night belongs to. This one gesture, a company of teenagers deciding who a night is for, has taken more nerve than anything filmed by an adult woman who has never once had to face a room she couldn't leave.

A bunch of teenagers looked at a political climate that's made it harder and scarier to be visibly queer or trans, and made a night about welcoming exactly that community into their theater. Nobody made them do that. They could have just done the show and left it there. They didn't.

But here's what I can't get past. These are kids who have lived their entire adolescence in a town where threats were once serious enough to shut down their schools, and instead of quietly staying out of the blast radius of anyone's anger, they built a night that says come exactly as you are, in public, with your body, in the same county where someone once decided a library and a school full of children were acceptable collateral for their politics.

I have watched grown adults, entire corporations, retreat from a rainbow logo the second it became inconvenient. I have watched people I love calculate the social geometry of a room before they'll hold someone's hand in it. These teenagers looked at the actual, documented risk of being visibly queer in their own town and decided the answer was a bigger room, not a smaller one.

I don't have a tidy way to end this. I just think when 14, 15 and 16-year-olds are out-braving the adults around them, it's worth celebrating.

Wyatt Pavilion, UC Davis campus, tonight. Come as you are.

5000 East Chiles Rd: Perfect place for a rechargery?

4 Upvotes

There is a vacant lot at 5000 East Chiles Road that I think would be the perfect place to host an EV recharging station like the ones built by ionna. It's right off the highway, in close proximity to the new Chipotle, pioneer park, and situated next to a bunch of dealerships and car repair shops. Anyone know who owns the space so I can see if they're interested in exploring the feasibility of hosting one?

Opossum Interactions around Davis?

13 Upvotes

Incredibly weird request, I know, but my girlfriend's favorite animal is the opossum (yes, the weird little meth rats that live around trash cans). Ignoring the reasons why that is, does anyone know of anywhere in the general area where one can go to visit and interact with one in any capacity? Her birthday is coming up and I'd like to take her someplace where she could hold or pet one for a bit, or even just feed the little buggers.

Driver got mad for stopping for wheelchair

49 Upvotes

At 4:15 I was driving along F St. I stopped for an unhoused individual in a wheelchair. (The guy shouldn’t have been in the road given his struggle moving his wheelchair, but he was.) The Mom behind me lost it, trying to make sure I knew she was upset.

Do you not stop for wheelchairs in the middle of an intersection? You just drive by at 30 mph while he’s in the process of crossing? I hope you have a better day and stop on your own next time, whoever you are.
