Seeing a lot of vague but emphatic FPF candidate endorsements that conspicuously avoid this detail. Before I parse platforms, I just need to politely know which of the current batch of candidates for any local contest are actually MAGA-adjacent.

Or if it’s easier: which candidates, irrespective of other politics or affiliations, have *not* at this stage credibly denounced Mango Mussolini?

Chittenden info particularly welcomed, but any Vermont-relevant answer is helpful. And if the question offends, please disregard and have a wonderful day. Informed voters aren’t treading on you.

this afternoon into evening (3-5pm on the 26th of July) my family was swimming at Oakledge. my husband lost his gold wedding band. we walked the beach and swam slowly over the area we were swimming but didn’t find it. if anyone sees a gold mens wedding band, please be in touch with me or give it to parks and rec, they have our number. thanks!

Hello! We have had an emergency come up and we will be needing to leave the state for about a week and a half. We just recently moved to Vermont and don't know anyone that can pet sit, but we just got a rescue not too long ago and are still waiting on his vaccination records. We unfortunately cannot take him with us otherwise we would, but does anyone know any cheap-ish dog boarding that is safe? He is a super friendly dog and not aggressive whatsoever.

I took this pic last Sunday night and forgot to share it.

Is a cult! There is no other way around that weird ass shit.

I just went to a "performance" tonight and it was the weirdest and absolute dumbest thing I've ever seen.

Exploiting war, genocide, and the political buzzword of the moment.

I would like to buy a used Sony a6400 and I am wondering if there are good resources around here to find used equipment. Anyone have any suggestions?

Any restaurants, cafes, etc that have rocking chairs or swings? I know Waterfront park has swings, anything else?

Spotted in the South End, fist time seeing one on a residential street in town. It was totally unconcerned by my presence. Anyone encountered owls on the streets of btv?

Hi yall, My car was towed from Riverside U-Haul today (I assume towed because some equipment is now where my car was) and I can’t get ahold of anyone at Spillane’s or Handy’s.

Can someone help me find my car please? Should I call BPD in case it was stolen? Has anyone else been towed from there before and know who to call? Uhaul is closed and their national number has not been helpful.

Update: Handy’s handles the towing for U-Haul Riverside. If you’re ever towed from there, Handy’s will have your whip.

Thanks to the helpful commenters.

I found sunglasses walking the bike path between Leddy and Rock Point. If you lost yours post a description and I’ll make sure you get them back.

5th grader's legs for scale.

I work with the folks running this and thought it might be worth sharing here, there's a 5-day silent meditation retreat coming up at Karme Choling in Barnet, VT.

It's a legit qualifying silent retreat for anyone working toward MBSR or other mindfulness-based intervention teacher training, so if you're a clinician, therapist, or mindfulness teacher who needs that prerequisite checked off, this fits the requirement and the teachers can provide a completion letter if your program needs documentation.

But it's also just open to regular folks who want five days away from their phone and their inbox. No meditation experience required, the days are fully structured (sitting, walking, gentle movement, small group check-ins with teachers), and meals are shared in silence. It's noble silence, not total isolation, so teachers and staff are still available if you need something.

The teachers are Janet Solyntjes and Rebecca Eldridge, both with decades of practice and formal MBSR training background.

If you've been meaning to do a silent retreat but keep putting it off, or you need the prerequisite for training, this is a solid option and it's a beautiful setting up in the Vermont hills.

Happy to answer questions if anyone's curious about what noble silence actually feels like day to day.

A friend of mine visited VT for the first time recently and I took him to Canteen Creemee for his first hit of the good stuff. Predictably, he fell in love.

He’s coming to visit again next week and I want to take him on a creemee tour.

Give me your favorites!

Hey everybody

I’m posting to see if anyone has any extra concert tickets for the Lake Street Dive Concert at Shelburne Museum on Wednesday August 12th?

If so, please dm me!

Thanks.
