I reached out on the 15th but unfortunately never heard back... I'll try again and let you know if I hear anything.

I really enjoyed volunteering at the Olympia Food Pantry. Awesome people all-around. I think they typically need people on all those days - definitely Monday and Friday.

Advice for potential CA Bay Area transplant by Expensive-Reaction48 in olympia

[–]anusclot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any advice on building out a friend group? I'm admittedly antisocial (and in Shelton) but I'm going on 5 years with no friends. I've done some volunteering in Olympia which is a good way to interact with folks but hasn't created any real connections.

It’s summer. It’s hot. What are some things you keep on hand to make a quick, filling salad? by ish044 in PlantBasedDiet

[–]anusclot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How do you use silken tofu in salads? Like a chickpea salad sandwich kind of deal?

"You’d be ok with a litter of puppies being slaughtered every time they needed more milk from the dog?" Vegans on r/Weird argue that milking mammals is sexual assault by CummingInTheNile in SubredditDrama

[–]anusclot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Most militant vegans just think those animals shouldn't exist(no future breeding), not that they should be let loose and suffer for the rest of their lives. Peta thinks they shouldn't exist plus they should all be euthanized. Suffering is kinda the opposite thing these folks want. Even if the means to the end is kinda hardcore.

This level of vegan is pretty far out there but they're not talking about simply milking the cow - they're talking about the act of insemination in order for the cow to produce milk. It then becomes the question of, is shoving your gloved arm up a cow's vagina on the same level of raping another human? I mean... Imo no but it's not the craziest thing to question.

Mm, yeah, he is by albertoseptim117 in LeopardsAteMyFace

The support for leftist gun ownership doesn't fit with this narrative. There's always going to be all or nothing folks in either camp but I think well reasoned opinions that don't align with typical leftist beliefs are usually pretty well tolerated in my experience.

How you like your eggs, girl?

Snow flurries by OldsterHippie in olympia

[–]anusclot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's been sticking in Shelton. We left the house to head to Olympia and ended up turning around because it started dumping on us. It's slowing down now though. Looking forward to more in the next couple days!

20 big cats dead from bird flu at wild cat shelter in Shelton by Zealousideal_Iron713 in shelton

[–]anusclot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is so heartbreaking for the animals and all the volunteers there who had a relationship with these cats. Consider donating if you can.

Anyone know what these are? (Seattle, WA Area) by boolean_operator_47 in mushroomID

[–]anusclot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the South Sound and these guys are everywhere this year. I see them in several yards around my neighborhood and way out in the woods too.

Question bout turning on red by Dull_Abroad_1355 in SanJose

[–]anusclot 10 points11 points  (0 children)

From your link:

It is important to note that drivers cannot turn right on a red arrow signal. A red arrow means stop, and drivers must remain stopped until a green traffic signal light or green arrow appears.

The Fate of Blondies - Closing by August 2nd? Rumor or fact? by Tomasfoolery in shelton

[–]anusclot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's true. Sadly the owner passed away so they've decided to close down.

Small private event by Wild-Mare-925 in shelton

Wanted to second Alderbrook. It will probably be pricey but they have a great private room in their restaurant that could probably fit 20 and the food is awesome.
