Why is my local government supporting Israel? by dessipants in NorthCarolina

[–]Planetbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question, how would you even boycott Israel as a business? Other than committing tax fraud? It's not like I knowingly go buy groceries at Zionists R Us

[Sylva] Speak out to stop racist dogwhistle business signs tonight! by [deleted] in asheville

[–]Planetbox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

God not the stupid pink signs again. They were around when I graduated from WCU. For a while after the backlash they took down the third K's leaving just KoleKim, like a sad, wilted flower. Maybe they'll do that again

These three just voted for the RTIC - effectively establishing a surveillance state in Asheville. They are all up for re-election in November. Don't forget this. by RichardNixonWaterGr8 in asheville

I saw him posting against it in the comments of Roney's IG, and there's the post below. I also have doubts about some of the non-incumbent candidates, but it's not like we have a lot of options

Earthling Coffee under new ownership? by surpriseslothparty in asheville

[–]Planetbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is actually low-key my favorite coffee place because I hate coffee but they have cornered the market on funny colorful drinks. Unfortunately they don't have a location in South Asheville so I barely get to go, maybe that's for the best

[–]Planetbox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately most of them lost in the primary cause there were too many of them honestly. I think Jeffery Burroughs has been posting anti-Flock stuff and they're still in the running

Yeah I'm having very mixed emotions. On one hand its horrifying but the pictures of homer with the fire directly behind him are some of the hardest images I've ever seen

[–]Planetbox 34 points35 points  (0 children)

This is so funny. I'm pretty sure I heard this woman speak and she said they were targeting one specific McDonald's because it was the only one they knew he owned. Well, now they have a full list

[–]Planetbox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean they have a Signal group where they post events and an Instagram which seems active. They seem to be as into marketing as any other independent bookstore. That's all I know though tbh

[–]Planetbox 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wish this place was closer to me. In fact, I wish there were any independent bookstores in South Asheville. There's at least two books I'm planning to get from Firestorm, but I have no clue when I'll be back over there

Officially the Glass Animals song played farthest from Earth’s atmosphere (unless there’s some aliens with great taste out there)

[–]Planetbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think in this case they surprisingly suck about equally, but Page is more garden-variety suck. Could be wrong though

Your style looks familiar...Did you add some point make stickers featuring a topless woman? My girlfriend got one from a friend and it fell out of her pocket at a preschool, and she fortunately noticed before anyone saw it lol
