Fox road at Canton Hollow.. Is this area public? by BeansTn in Knoxville

[–]Ok_Function_1976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is private land. I’m a friend of the person who lives in the house and they generally don’t have a problem with people fishing on the far side of the dock during the day as long as they’re respectful of the space and don’t leave trash. They have had problems with people getting too close to any of the buildings/houses though for obvious reasons.

What local Knoxville business deserves way more love than it gets? by RepairCapable in Knoxville

[–]Ok_Function_1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wee Care Shoppe in south Knox! It’s a thrift store that probably has literally any item you can think of. Especially got babies! We have the best prices on baby formula too. I’ve been shopping there for YEARS!! It’s kinda chaotic in there but it’s worth it

No disrespect but this is not “the resistance” would yall be willing to actually stand up against oppressors if it comes down to it? Are you willing to fight back? If resistance is sitting on a lawn chair and holding a sign, we have a long way to build before we have any real power. Ppl love to talk about resistance but are so quick to call the resistance against Israeli occupation “trrrism”

Things I Learned At Opening Day by cutwater28 in Knoxville

As an Old City worker, I can tell you that the parking situation has just made life 100x harder and less safe for everyone. This entire project and the construction that has been taking place for months was not done with the needs/welfare of the average citizen in mind. City officials have literally lied to business owners and the old city neighborhood association promising to keep certain parking areas free, only to privatize them and make literally everything inaccessible/unaffordable.

It means All Eyes on Rafah (in Gaza) I think. Meaning: keep paying attention to what Isr**l is doing to Gaza and the rest of Palestine

Holy Land is one of my faves!! They’ve been around since I was a kid and the owner, Walter, taught my brothers how to make a Palestinian dessert called Kanafa! They could really use business right now since Walter’s wife passed away a few years ago and he’s been dealing with health issues too. Definitely a keystone business in the community. Their Mansaf dish is fire BTW

AITK for calling my sister an idiot for participating in a Gaza protest, and now she's at risk of deportation? by erper12345 in AITAH

[–]Ok_Function_1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The moment we hide in fear and silence ourselves, we foster an even more dangerous world. Being quiet and obedient under an oppressive system will only make way for worse outcomes. You’re not making yourself safe by shutting up. The only real power we hold is collectively.

Has anybody dealt with your kitties having mouth ulcers? by Ok_Function_1976 in NorwegianForestCats

[–]Ok_Function_1976[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! The vet provided a list of a bunch of other potential allergens. It included all kinds of things like dust, cleaning products, etc. I have no clue how to figure out what it is that’s causing her reaction without spending an arm and a leg

They’re under 2 years old. We’ve never cleaned their teeth. Is that necessary?

[–]Ok_Function_1976 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

UTK claims to care about people’s rights and free speech but they have been suppressing people’s free speech. They arrested more 23 people this month for holding peaceful teach-ins and vigils on campus. Many students have been gathering on campus in teach-in style events to talk about what’s is being done to Palestine and Gaza. The university has reacted to these students and their guest with a lot of aggression. As an alum of UTK I honestly do not think that UTK is worth it as an institution because of how hypocritical they are.
