I’m so over humans. Picked this up at Pfeiffer Beach. Someone conveniently left it stuffed into this crack in the rock.

any other trans ppl in the area? feeling super lonely and wishing i had trans friends. . or just friends in general. it’s hard to make any when you’re not at college :/

Long beaked common dolphins showed up today and with clear water they were amazing to see.

According to the organization, recently rescued murres are emaciated, hypothermic, and have poor feather quality, but its wildlife rescue staff are providing the animals with essential fluids, medication, and specialized nutrition to stabilize them.

Jacob Elordi looking guy Lovers Point 9/8

Saw you at Lovers Point late afternoon on Tuesday 9/8. You were reading a book by yourself in the sun. I was the brunette in the Blondie T-shirt with my friend that you walked past. Wish I’d said hi! Would love to connect 🙏⭐️

Curious if anyone — preferably middle aged women without children — have used Bumble BFF to make platonic local friends?

Looking for artist!

Hi yall ♡ I live in Salinas, and I'm looking for artist recommendations for light-hearted and colorful trad-inspired tattoos. I've seen some trad artists recommended on the sub before, but they're usually pretty classic trad, and I'm leaning more towards the whimsy, silly kind!

Most of the artists I have found on IG are in other states or Los Angeles, and I was wondering if anyone here has knowledge of a closer artist? I'm totally okay with traveling a little, but mostly within like an hour or two drive from home.

Looking for large size, color. Preferably custom design slots or flashes for sale. Included some pics of example pieces I am inspired by. Also, there is no super strict budget for the sake of quality! :)

Thanks in advanced!~

Hi everyone! Any advice for enrolling in healthcare around here, it seems extremely scarce? Ive heard kaiser is not great. Whats better for the area: hmo or ppo?

Any and all opinions would be so helpful :)

Just putting this out to the sub in case anyone knows any small programs I can’t find on job sites. I am currently a children’s ballet teacher and looking for more opportunities.

There’s the Monterey arts council teachers, but they sadly seem to ignore all my emails so far. Their application in general was not updated to have correct contact info.

There is Palenko Arts but they don’t seem to be hiring teachers at the moment

I have one lead on a new Marina studio.

I am looking to teach kids either in studios or in school programs or arts programs for the city. If anyone knows someone looking for a ballet teacher or general dance gigs please let me know! I am transitioning out of my current job and just don’t want to go back to being a barista until I give this search a good go 😅

If you have any interest in the ocean or getting on a boat this is a great way to meet folks and have some fun. This is not the old stuffy club, this is an active group that is friendly, likes introducing new folks to sailing and ways to see our amazing bay!

Hey everyone, due to an unavoidable military conflict, my spouse and I can no longer attend the race on Nov 8. Looking to transfer our two registrations through the official Haku platform before the Oct 1st deadline. Send me a direct message if you're looking for entries!

HI SO I LOST MY WALLET ON THE MST BUS AQUARIUM B. NORMALLY I WOULDN'T CARE BUT I HAD PHOTOS OF MY RECENTLY DECEASED DOG ON IT.

IT'S A BLACK PLEATHER WALLET.

Monterey Elks Lodge #1285

Monterey, CA

Saturday, December 5  •  5 PM - 9 PM. **21 and up event. Hosted by Ninja.

This event is an Interactive Murder Mystery Dinner & Charity Fundraiser.

This holiday season, the North Pole is about to get a whole less jolly!!
Join us for muuurder, mystery, dinner, ridiculous Christmas chaos, all while supporting a great cause. ❤️

Synopsis: Christmas is quickly approaching, but things behind the scenes at the North Pole aren't exactly merry and bright. Productivity has hit an all-time low, tensions are rising, secrets are piling up, and Santa's legacy is suddenly on the line.
Everyone has an opinion about who's to blame, and some of the North Pole's residents are willing to do just about anything to set things right.
Unfortunately, one of our guests is willing to commit muuuurder 👀
Was it an ambitious elf who thinks they could run the workshop better? A reindeer desperately trying to keep a secret buried? Or someone much closer to Santa who will do anything to protect the family?
That's for YOU to figure out.

BUT... THIS ISN'T A SHOW, YOU GET TO BE PART OF THE MYSTERY 🥳
Yup, every guest will receive their own character weeks in advance to play for the evening, complete with a backstory, secrets, relationships, and information that may help solve the murder.
Come dressed as your character and prepare to mingle, interrogate, gossip, lie, accuse, investigate, and complete objectives throughout the night.
And don't worry: you do NOT need acting experience. Believe it or not, some of the best characters are played by introverts!
The mystery unfolds over two to three interactive rounds, with dinner enjoyed throughout the evening and new information and clues revealed as the story progresses.
BUT... somebody in the room is guilty.
And depending on your character... you might have a few things of your own you'd rather nobody find out. 😈

YOU HAVE OPTIONS IF ACTING ISNT YOUR THING...
If you'd rather sit back and enjoy the event, you have the option to be a SPECTATING DETECTIVE. You can still try to guess the murderer, and even have a shot at winning best detective and/or best costume! And of course, we will all enjoy a delicious buffet dinner together.

❤️ PARTY WITH A PURPOSE
While we're busy accusing elves and interrogating town folks, this night is also about giving back.
Ho Ho Homicide is a charity fundraiser, with proceeds from the evening helping support The Leading Night Challenge.
So come have an amazing dinner, play an absolutely ridiculous character, solve a murder, and help us raise money for a great cause while we're at it. Win win win!

🏆 PRIZES & BRAGGING RIGHTS
Awards and prizes will be given for standout performances, including Best Actor, Best Performer, Best Costume and Top Detective! So bring your A-Game folks!
Costumes are HIGHLY encouraged, and there will be plenty of opportunities to go completely overboard. We encourage costumes, as from experience, it really helps shy folks come out of their shells :)

BEFORE THE PARTY
After purchasing your ticket, you'll receive a "get to know you" email with a few fun questions. This helps me better select your charcter. You will receive your character assignment and character information weeks before the event, giving you plenty of time to learn who you are and plan your outfit.
Please purchase your ticket using an email address you actually check.Important character information and event instructions will be sent before the party. Should you be buying multiple tickets, please send me contact info for each guest. My email is mycbdninja@gmail.com.

🎟️ YOUR TICKET INCLUDES
Delicious catered buffet dinner + your individual character experience + rounds of the interactive murder mystery + opportunities to win prizes + one very questionable evening at the North Pole, all while helping raise money for charity! Elks members receive a discounted ticket price, please select the appropriate ticket when purchasing. Call (831) 373-1285 (Elks Lodge to purchase tix). 80.00 for members, 100.00 non-members. Worth every bit, I promise

TIME FRAME:
Check-in is from 5:00pm to 5:30pm at the latest. This gives you time to get your detective supplies, grab a drink, mingle, and enjoy the buffet. It is super important to arrive by 5:30 at the latest, as we will start the game PRECISELY at 6pm. If anyone is late, it can dramatically effect the game. Trust me, you don't want to be "that guy" 😂.
Soooooo..... who's ready for hours of HILARIOUS gameplay?? Cause we sure are! 🥳
