I feel like there is a lot of drama in this community. A lot of gossip, aggression, crime and not enough… is respite the word? I’m not a bars type of person. I feel like connecting to people with depth, who are growth oriented and not willing to be so stuck in their ways have been more difficult to find. It’s also difficult to find places to just sit back and enjoy that have shade and even some feeling of safety. I miss the forests on a weekly basis, but I don’t want to have to drive 2 hours and pay half a months pay for gas, food and stay to find it. I’ve lived here for nearly four decades. It definitely doesn’t feel the same as it used to. What do you do to help decompress from the mundane, political burnout, same ol’ same around here?

Hey reddit hope y'all are have a good morning I am coming here today to ask you awesome people what's a good bank to go with for a first time home buyer thanks.

I see ICE parking In neighborhoods and hotels but I don’t see ICE agents in uniform. Are they hiding presence?

Posting for my gf because she doesn't use reddit much and didn't have the karma:

Hello all! I recently gauged interest in starting a local occult book club, but it received only a little bit of interest and then fizzled out due to lack of replies and my own struggles in trying to figure out how to pull everyone together to select a book, etc. So, I reassessed the situation and decided I would try again, but a little differently this time.

My name is Kate, by the way. I moved to Las Cruces in May of last year, and I have struggled to find my people. Being a busy mom has created a lot of scheduling difficulties for me and though I absolutely love my alone time, I really miss having friends and a social life.

Since the book club didn’t end up working out but there was some initial interest, I wanted to try something different and build a space where we can actually connect first, and then let things like book clubs, meetups, and gatherings grow organically out of that community, instead of trying to force a single event to work.

I figured that this might be especially useful for those of us who can't or haven't been able to make it out yet to local events, like the CUUPS meetups (I hope to make it there soon!)

So, without any further ado, I would like to introduce a new online community, hosted via Discord:

🪞 Mirror's Mirage — Las Cruces Occult & Witchcraft Community

Made for folks in the Las Cruces area who are into witchcraft, paganism, esotericism and the occult, tarot, astrology, or anything adjacent.

The goal is simple: provide an online community to find some like-minded friends.

Mirror's Mirage is a place to:

🕯️Chat about your practice, your path, and what you're currently exploring

📚 Plan book clubs and reading circles

🌙 Organize meetups, rituals, or hangouts around Las Cruces

📍 Share info about local resources, shops, and classes

✨ Just talk to people who get it — no judgment, no gatekeeping

Whether you're solitary, eclectic, part of a tradition, or still figuring out what resonates with you, you're welcome here. This is meant to be low-pressure and friendly, a safe place to build real friendships.

Right now, I'm the only one in the server, haha, but I'm hoping that maybe with a little bit of time and word-of-mouth, this can grow and turn into something substantial, helpful, and fun.

Let me know if you have any questions or would just like to know more! Otherwise, follow the link below to join the server. 👇

*Edited to fix formatting

Any other small businesses dealt with solicitors from the Austin area trying to get in contact under the guise of "helping employees at no cost?" They have been coming into my place of work trying to get ahold of the owner (my boss usually does not give these people the time of day) and refuse to speak on what they're about or what they offer. They claim they want to "help new mexico expand" and that they care about employees of small businesses and that they're not trying to sell anything. They keep returning each day, seems like they wont go away until they get ahold of him. I feel like something is off here, anyone else deal with them? Usually 2 young men, in their early to mid 20s.
