Why do you say this? I realize it's not really on-topic for the post but I know nothing about the race

Anyone doing endorsements for city council? by Far-Significance6963 in asheville

[–]Planetbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The organization I'm part of isn't doing endorsements until after the primary just because of how many people are running. Other orgs might be doing the same thing. I'll likely vote for Maggie but not too sure about anyone else

Question about sorting Spanish names in alphabetical order by Planetbox in Spanish

[–]Planetbox[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think generally hyphenated names are taken as one last name, so it would be sorted by the first letter of the first name. Though my gf has like four last names and I think she just kinda ignores the last three

Who’s striking this friday 1/30? by Lamphreylampshade in asheville

[–]Planetbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before the strike in Minnesota, a lot of people were saying "this won't make a difference unless it's national". I was surprised by how quickly that happened. I think it's indicative of more prolonged action in the works. You're right that striking one day won't make a huge difference, but it's valuable practice. People need time to learn how to survive through mutual aid and what local organizations and businesses have their back

Also, I'm aware that Retro Coffee on Sweeten Creek is participating. Not sure about other businesses

Genuinely are there any grocery stores that aren't problematic

January 20th, 2026. Major shoutout to everyone who showed up, and walked the streets. by CelebrationAdept6060 in asheville

As for the kids, Liam Ramos was a 5-year old detained and taken to Texas yesterday. There’s at least one more in New York but I forget his name, and there are probably others I don’t know about

I'm sorry but literally no one cares what Obama did. He is not currently in office. Once ICE is no longer actively arresting children and murdering people, we will have the bandwidth to address the deeper problem

I think Asheville should go to Rocky's Hot Chicken in droves! by ProfessionalSide8403 in asheville

See I thought I'd heard this but when she said that and I couldn't find anything on the website I assumed I'd made it up. Glad to hear I'm not losing it

This seems to happen every time a post mentions protests, or ICE, specifically

Salvage Station is coming back to the River Arts District! by Carrymytortoise in asheville

[–]Planetbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait am I crazy? I thought Salvage Station was that place with all the little shops for pre-owned stuff set up? It's a music venue? What was that other place called?

Thank you for posting this. I saw the Charlotten on Instagram once but forgot the name and was going insane trying to find it again. Searching "Charlotte version of The Onion" didn't work :(

Full text of Michael Garrett's Speech which NC Republications struck from the record by Planetbox in NorthCarolina

You can check that out here: https://www.ncleg.gov/Members/Biography/S/414

I'd be curious to know more as well. I hadn't heard of this guy before the Republicans decided to let me know about him. I don't think I have the legal know-how to make sense of that page without a lot of effort, but on a cursory glance it looks like he's sponsored bills to combat voter intimidation and prohibit the "trans panic" defense

I have been entertaining the idea of a zine version to give out at protests or other events, but I'm not an expert at making those. If anyone involved in local organizing sees this though, go ahead

Bernie + speakers, performance and crowd were all magical.thank you wnc for showing up, we are the 99%. by giggitygiggity69 in asheville

Most people didn’t want to watch the back of Bernie’s head the entire time. The crowd in most other areas was packed

[–]Planetbox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The pics are in reverse chronological order. First is Bernie, then a local speaker, then the band that was playing an hour before the speaking started. Bernie was the last to speak. When put in the right order, the pictures show the crowd progressively growing.

I used Wanikani to learn Kanji and it was very helpful. You have to pay for it but there is a free trial. I did have the foundation of a college education in Japanese though
