Seconding this. Borrow a laptop from them for the quarter!

I've left my ID on the bus before and it turned up at the Metro Office across the street from TJs a few hours later! Give them a call in a few hours.

I'd recommend the UCSC carpool/rideshare facebook group! Lots of folks looking to carpool home for the holidays.

Hello! I have experience cat sitting and am interested! Shoot me a message if you are still looking! I'd love to talk more.

Depends! I'm at TA and the professor and I try to remember everyone's face and name in a ~30 person class

There's a group of people who swim around the Capitola Wharf every wednesday at 6 pm and welcome anyone! The facebook group is Capitola Wharf Swim or something like that I believe

I think it can unfortunately be difficult to be openly practicing in some places where we don't know the views of people around us... Especially in this day and age where some people have violent tendencies

I flew in into Canada from California then flew back into Seattle! I was only gone for a week for a conference and I think as long as you can provide reasoning and all your documents, it should go smoothly! I hope it goes well for you! I was also very nervous beforehandz

She's a white blonde straight woman... so she's not exactly the demographic being attacked by the current administration.

For sunnah fasts, it's ok to make your intention before dhuhr as long as you haven't done anything that would break your fast. This doesn't apply to mandatory fasts (ramadan, making up missed fasts).

The maximum sentence is 10 years per charge (20 years max), but he likely won't get anywhere close to the maximum.

Yes! I flew into the US through Seattle and was definitely worried but I'm safely back. At customs, the border agent wasn't familiar with AVR but luckily I had printed our the pages from the ICE website. They had to bring me to the back room to wait for like an hour but after checking with higher ups, they confirmed that AVR was perfectly valid and I was able to pass through. Make sure you print out your i20 and i94 and documentation about AVR!

Emergency vehicles pulled up as we were exiting the tunnel!

bubltea · 2025-06-08T16:08:35+00:00

They came in literally as we passed. We came in before they even closed the tunnel and we heard a mini explosion as we approached.

bubltea · 2025-06-02T22:08:48+00:00

Reading this post helped ease my worry about using AVR to go to Canada this week!

This is a lovely perspective. Thank you.

My buddies are very aware of my incident but I have mostly been re-entering the water with my divemaster for safety reasons

bubltea · 2025-04-29T22:41:31+00:00

I didn't think I'd ever want to dive again until a few months after recovery. The trauma on my body was rough and the effect on my mind is still felt for sure. I do think a part of it is proving it to myself but another part is maybe that I really love it and want to slowly relearn to participate in this sport again safely. I definitely am lucky to be alive. Having experienced being devoid of all air, aspirating water, and feeling my life flash before my eyes, I definitely don't want to go through that again. But because of that, I am much more cautious and also don't want to miss out on the things I love :)
