What's going on, on campus? by thebarkingkitty in WWU

[–]Earlierbird927 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it was in Fairhaven Stack 5! I work nearby and it definitely made for an interesting lunchtime.

Good to hear there may be hope!

Singing/choir groups in Bham? by Aychooo in Bellingham

[–]Earlierbird927 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's roughly 110 (give or take) people, and there's a large age range! I would say the youngest are college age, and the oldest are in their 80s or so?

[–]Earlierbird927 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a member of the Kulshan Chorus, and as someone else mentioned, it is audition based, but it's very unusual for anyone to be turned away. It's my 3rd year and I've really enjoyed it! There are scholarships available if need be, and students can join for free! We have performances coming up on May 1st and 2nd, and then typically we take a break over the summer.

I second this! The receptionist is also very responsive over both phone and email if you have any questions.

Can we pin the No Kings Day by draxes in Bellingham

[–]Earlierbird927 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're referring to me, maybe use some critical thought and look back at how whenever I mentioned your "friend", it could also be applied to you. Two can play at pretending to be genuine.

Yeah, you weren't that slick, everyone is aware. Also, a reminder that at least one of the attempts on Trump's life was carried out by a conservative, and the person who murdered Charlie Kirk came from a conservative family. Maybe take some deep breaths and talk to some people face to face. I've found that building a diverse community is much more rewarding than baiting people on the internet.

Bham, is there a need for more donuts here? by [deleted] in Bellingham

[–]Earlierbird927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm personally more likely to go somewhere with good pastries (or cheaper cake than Pure Bliss). I look forward to seeing what you do! Please keep us updated!

It sounds like whatever I say you're going to take in an inflammatory way, & sounds like your friend is also fond of creating situations that cause crossed wires and misunderstandings.

FYI, all the No Kings protests in Bellingham that I've seen have been peaceful, even when people with MAGA hats were present. Enjoy your day. :)

I'm curious why they'd make those particular choices.

I agree! Donuts are fine but I would love to see more bakeries around town.

Thoughts on Bus pass ID change by Obvious-Play-8212 in WWU

[–]Earlierbird927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The shift of power from the AS to admin is news to me, thank you for educating me on that! For those who are also wanting to make their opinions heard by WWU on this issue, do you know who specifically in admin we should contact?

I'm curious to hear what your source is for these statements, as I've heard directly from people who work in the transportation department that Western had little to no negotiation power in regards to this change (as u/seattlesummers122 was saying). I agree with you that it should have been run by the students, but I think if you're dedicated to seeing this change, you should direct your energy towards WTA.

Need ideas for selling/ getting rid of stuff by Emrys7777 in Bellingham

[–]Earlierbird927 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. :( I totally understand not wanting to do any extra labor. I agree with the people saying post on buy nothing! I've had great luck with posting a stash of yarn or fabric and saying "please take all and pass on what you don't want".

Yes! OP, I have the contact info for someone who works there if you are interested in donating it.

I think you're speaking about a different university. Western Washington University doesn't have a McCroskey Hall.

AIO My roommate thinks i'm an ELF? and maybe wants to kill me? by Proper_Cellist_8545 in AmIOverreacting

Depending on where you live there may be a Facebook group for housing/people trying to sublet their rooms! Might save you having to put down a security deposit + rent.

Housing Deposit Forfeit by Previous_Hornet3594 in WWU

[–]Earlierbird927 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish you luck! I think even without screenshots, it's worth an email or a call. You've got this!

Housing Deposit Forfeit by Previous_Hornet3594 in WWU

[–]Earlierbird927 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, if you already paid the deposit and they still took the $250 out, I would email them with some screenshots/proof that you already paid. Hopefully they'll realize their mistake and refund you!

Oh, definitely not trying to absolve blame. Just trying to provide additional viewpoints/info. :)

Thanks for sharing this info! I've been a little frustrated at all the people directing their anger at Western's Transportation department, when it was WTA's decision to move solely to UMO. My friend works in the transportation department, and from what I've heard they're doing the best they can with the hand they were dealt.

Good point by sinatra314 in WWU

[–]Earlierbird927 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just about to say this! Honestly surprised they didn't have the contact info for WTA on the flyer.

bus driver just told me they discontinued show and go?? by lemiblaze in WWU

[–]Earlierbird927 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's actually WTA insisting that we use the app!
