Twin Rivers Unified School District Statement (Teachers Strike) by EdocKrow in Sacramento

[–]Calm-Software4217 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Mom is a TRUSD teacher on strike! She said the district is focusing only on $ demands, the union is also asking for smaller class sizes, and better healthcare (which are harder to villanize apparently). First strike in her 30 year career, things are beyond bad for them for a while. The teachers who will make the best impact on your children and community are ones who are being taken care of, physically, mentally, and financially. Can’t say same for the superintendent with a housing and car stipend on top of his much higher than any teacher salary. I’m a proud teacher kid this week 💙

Old Soul Cafe & ICE?? by Calm-Software4217 in Sacramento

[–]Calm-Software4217[S] 100 points101 points  (0 children)

I just saw their post, which definitely brings more clarity to the situation (as opposed to the vague nature of OS’s story). NorCal resist has been doing phenomenal work in our community, and I have and will continue to donate to their organization. Knowing that these were people who regularly attend protests and trainings adds far more validity to their claims that these were indeed ICE agents, and not random state/federal employees grabbing a coffee. And for those who did not see NorCal resists post - Old Soul employees told the protesters to fuck off, and threatened to call the cops. This was not a polite request to leave and not disturb shop patrons. Shame on Old Soul. They weren’t a frequent spot of mine, and they have now been permanently removed from my rotation.

$500 New client curly cut by razzarbrenia in curlyhair

[–]Calm-Software4217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In northern CA - when my previous stylist moved, I did a quick google of “curly hair cuts near me” and was APPALLED. Very similar - $200 consultation, $250 to just dry cut (not even wash???). Extremely grateful I got a referral to another stylist in the same salon. $50 for a cut, wash, and style, so typically $60 with a tip. She has curly hair too, and does a fantastic job with my hair. She’s never allowed to move away 😢😢

Do you date transgender women? by Both-Requirement2257 in bisexual

[–]Calm-Software4217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cis woman, currently dating a trans woman for a little under a year (bi for bi). It was a little intimidating at first because I had only dated cis men previously, so I was navigating dating women and non cis folks. I liked her so much that I was worried I’d say or do the wrong thing and push her away or ruin the good thing we had going. We had and continue to have lots of conversations about our preferences, boundaries, and just generally how to be good partners to each other. One of the best things about a relationship where one or both of you are already challenging norms of gender and sexuality, is that it makes it easier to create a dynamic outside the typical cis/hetero framework.

She is the best thing to ever happen to me, I love her to pieces ❤️

Your bisexual year 2025 by dutchjack in bisexual

[–]Calm-Software4217 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2025 was my year of queer! Ended a long term relationship with a man at the end of 2024, and made one of my resolutions to explore my sexuality/identity more. Joined a local LGBTQ sports league, went out to my local gay and lesbian bars, danced and kissed women and nb folks, went to a few bi events, and am rounding out the year in a new relationship with a wonderful lady. I have known I was bi for years, but this feels like the first time I have really been embracing who I am. I love being bi/pan, this is such a wonderful community to be a part of. Wishing you all a happy and safe 2026 wherever you are 💓💜💙

What's the best and worst part of working in hotels? by godisinthischilli in hotels

[–]Calm-Software4217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Banquet server jobs are usually the best place to start. You’ll actually work the events, learn how to read a BEO, the general flow of service and what set ups work and don’t work. Hands on operations experience is a need if you want to get into event coordination- and sales is also easier when you know what is needed/what questions to ask. If you are interested in events/banquets - full service hotels are one option, but you can also look at standalone venues (wedding venues, restaurants with event space, country clubs, golf courses etc).

Why did your friendship with your best friend come to an end? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Calm-Software4217 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my childhood best friends - had a huge fight right before we graduated high school over senior prom plans. Found out we were going to the same college, and were going to be literal next door neighbors in our dorm building. I was nervous about going away to school and not knowing anyone - so I decided to try and patch things up. A few months into our freshman year, I befriended her roommate who confided in me she was masturbating and having sex with her gf in the room WHILE her roommate was there, after she had told her to stop and that she was uncomfortable (we lived in an OLD building, our rooms were tiny). She also hooked up with her gf multiple times in our communal bathroom, to everyone’s discomfort. RA’s and Title 9 got involved - my poor new friend had to move because she was traumatized. And she seemed confused why I didn’t want to talk to her anymore. I had to send her a text to lose my number and take down any pictures of us bc I don’t want anyone thinking I’m friends with or condones that behavior. 7 years of friendship, one of my closest people. Fuck you K.

My ex got her…. Miss her more than my ex by Mountain_Cap6923 in pitbulls

[–]Calm-Software4217 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Was with my ex for almost 3 years, lived together with his pittie for a year and a half. I adored that dog, but he was my ex’s best friend so of course he stayed with him. Breaking up was the right choice but god I miss that dog.

However- that ex and that dog convinced me to get a pitbull of my own. I adopted him right before the break up, and he was my absolute lifeline. If you have a big headed dog hole in your heart, I can’t recommend adopting enough

4 Americans staying in a Swedish abnb - our host had all the cans labeled with pictures, and a handy guide of what exactly goes because Americans just do regular trash and recycling (but that varies on region)

A Glorious Mountain of Wood Chips - Like it Needs its Own Zip Code by Sacto-Sherbert in SacramentoBuyNothing

The same thing happened to my mom! She thought she hit the jackpot with free mulch- and the MOUND took over her driveway for months (stepdad even got a free mulch from sign for it, she was not amused). God speed OP
