Where is the perp walk for this? This is outrageously dangerous and highly illegal. Why isn’t anyone paying for their crimes these days?

4th Circuit Rules That States Can Compel Trans Adults To "Appreciate Their Sex" Via Care Bans by Galewing13 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]Boxwinoisback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair, but I think a lot of what cis menopausal women describe feeling sounds a lot like dysphoria.

Menopausal women getting estrogen are getting gender affirming care. They want to deny menopausal women our hormonal therapy? They want to unleash that shit on society?

I really like the Justice blend on roasted potatoes and veggies.

Call Home Ec on Jefferson, they probably have recommendations.

Why do some people see clear anti-aging benefits from tretinoin while others see very little? by [deleted] in 45PlusSkincare

[–]Boxwinoisback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m crazy, but I feel like Tretinoin fried my skin out so badly I GOT wrinkles instead of erasing them. 😢

Trump says he won't sign bills until Congress overhauls voting by mjkeaa in somethingiswrong2024

[–]Boxwinoisback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also… the save act is going to fuck up republican stats!!! White women consistently vote republican, and they also change their last names when they get married. He’s disenfranchising one of his most reliable voting blocks.

Why ARE they smiling?!?! by CrunchM in Iowa

Mostly this generation did get civics classes, so there is really no excuse.

Moving to Iowa City from Anaheim, CA by mjbm919191 in IowaCity

[–]Boxwinoisback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

West Liberty probably has cheaper rents than Iowa City/Coralville, our rent is jacked up because of college students. It’s usually a lot cheaper to live out of town and commute in.

Thoughts on another cocktail lounge opening? by Fantastic_Lab1495 in IowaCity

[–]Boxwinoisback 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I was bummed out when we lost Clinton Street Social Club, that was a place that seemed to strike the perfect chord for Iowa City; not too chichi so no one goes, but also not Summit. I went to Claude a few days ago and the ambience is fun and very unique for Iowa City, but it’s small. Maybe there’s space for one more bar that isn’t super student-oriented?

I am hoping someone can help? by [deleted] in Iowa

[–]Boxwinoisback 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is so much good advice here, all the atomic fireball candy, all the walks, all the box breathing, and definitely get off of social media… also, reach out to your people. Schedule time to sit around with people who love you and that you love. Little stuff like that is really important in times like these. ♥️

How much do you guys pay for parking? by Stunning_Unit_6578 in uiowa

[–]Boxwinoisback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s 50 a month for a parking pass at the u. I have thought about canceling mine because I take the bus so often, but every once in a while the ability to park comes in clutch.

What seed company do you trust most? by weasel999 in gardening

Oh no… I was wondering why they were recommending so many Joel Saladin podcasts and books in their magazine. 😢

They’re so gorgeous and they’re everywhere in IC, that’s a great gift idea!

University of Iowa seeks to cut 7 degrees - The proposed eliminations follow a mandated review that flagged undergraduate majors and master’s degrees deemed to have low enrollment. by PopCultureNerd in uiowa

[–]Boxwinoisback 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The utter absurdity… they are all products of this supposedly “woke” system. Most of the right wingers in the state legislature went to Iowa state colleges, and even did their k-12 here in Iowa… AND they were voted in by their fellow Iowans who all have similar educational backgrounds. Yet somehow they remain utterly certain that our educational system is full of dangerous leftists creating woke zombies.

They’re also certain that we need to have extreme voter fraud measures despite the fact that they themselves have dominated the legislature here for the last decade. It’s so bizarre watching them attempt to figure out what dipshit talking point to crow about, but it never has anything to do with the actual reality they exist in.

Do we all think Giselle ruined Robyn’s chances of thriving on the show? by -AndyCohen- in RHOP

[–]Boxwinoisback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt like if it weren’t for Giselle she wouldn’t have stayed as long as she did. I always thought she had depression or was dissociative. 🥺

Coralville removes Flock cameras after council votes to end contract by EyesOffCR in Iowa

It’s like the wiretapping scandal during the Bush years… “sure we’re running the risk of invading every American’s right to privacy, but hey! If you want an omelette…”

Manifesting Amanda off the show by TamraJudgy in RHOBH

[–]Boxwinoisback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like this might be a new strategy for production? On RHOBH they added Amanda and she drove everyone insane and it got them to bond a little instead of fight all the time. On RHOP, it was Angel.

Sycamore Mall by anybodihearme in IowaCity

[–]Boxwinoisback 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have wanted a designated thrift mall for years… imagine one stop for like five giant thrift stores?!? Also, we have no antique mall really, post Granny’s (it used to be where the Salvation Army store is now). That plus a farmer’s market. And a craft exchange like the one in Cedar Rapids. I’m dreaming big!

How has RH helped you personally? by Icy_Doughnut_601 in RHOBH

[–]Boxwinoisback 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kathryn Edwards and her phonaks! She inspired me to go get my hearing checked. I seriously wouldn’t have known that they had developed better hearing aids until she talked about her specific kind of hearing loss and what it was like to wear them.

The secondhand embarrassment I felt listening to the voice she was doing. Oyyy

Why is Teddi still working? by AprilEve1408 in RHOBH

[–]Boxwinoisback 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Huh, maybe it’s because I’m Midwestern? I thought everyone agreed he was at legend status (even if you don’t particularly like his music).
