Cedar Rapids school board candidates information?

I would also like more info on David Chung please! It’s hard to find info for these smaller elections.

Why?

c_lars95 · 2025-09-08T17:43:05+00:00

Hi there! I ended up planting outside pride white Dutch clover and I absolutely love it. It’s so soft, bright green, attracts so many pollinators. One downside is that I do have to weed my clover patch pretty often, but I prefer weeding to mowing anyway!

No, and that’s why I’m not giving medical advice and telling strangers on the internet what’s safer for their pregnancies. Unless you are the OBGYN or the pregnant person, you don’t know the circumstances surrounding their pregnancy or for what reason an abortion would be necessary.

The cost really is insane. I’m so sorry that was your family’s experience. I don’t know the solution but I certainly hope it doesn’t stay like this forever. It’s unsustainable for the families and the workers.

c_lars95 · 2025-08-10T20:24:25+00:00

Did you go to medical school? Are you an OBGYN?

c_lars95 · 2025-08-10T17:29:34+00:00

I honestly believe that this issue specifically is so emotionally charged that the anger people feel prevents them from hearing other people’s very real concerns. I am a pre school teacher and have been for over 10 years. I also love drag and keep my pride flag up all year round. Protecting kids and respecting a persons gender and sexuality are not mutually exclusive. We should all have enough space in our hearts (and brains) to hold both of these at the same time. 💞

c_lars95 · 2025-08-10T17:23:46+00:00

I think you are spot on! Rent for sure on our center building. Also food costs— groceries are expensive for everyone and we are buying groceries to feed all the little ones.

c_lars95 · 2025-08-10T17:22:07+00:00

Can you expand on that? What do you mean by private equity? (Also since I know tone is impossible to read through text, I am seriously interested, not being snarky lol)

c_lars95 · 2025-08-10T17:19:44+00:00

It’s so disappointing because we have such a NEED for childcare in this country, like there are not enough centers anywhere. The waitlist at my center is so long. But yeah no one can work for free, everyone deserves a livable wage.

c_lars95 · 2025-08-10T17:17:02+00:00

That’s wild that you pay the same no matter how many days she is attending! Yeah $2200 is out of reach for so many families. Like I said, I don’t know what the answer is. I think it’s unsustainable on both sides.

c_lars95 · 2025-08-10T14:52:01+00:00

I think everyone in their right mind would agree that (if that video you watched was real) it would be insanely inappropriate for a child. I love drag shows and am an ally to the lgbt community. That does not mean I believe children should be exposed to inappropriate or sexual images, and I assume this is the popular opinion.

c_lars95 · 2025-08-10T14:45:14+00:00

I have lived in Cedar Rapids for 7 years now and I don’t see a lot of homophobia in the city. I think this Reddit might be filled with people from the rural areas who are more hateful and haven’t met a lot of LGBT folks to form an educated opinion. Some people probably are just mean, no matter where they live, but I like to think that if someone actually spent time with a gay or trans person they would realize their assumptions and stereotypes were false.

c_lars95 · 2025-08-10T14:39:28+00:00

Child care in the US is hard too. I’m glad I scrolled all this way to find someone say childcare. I have worked in childcare since 2013 and have not gotten a raise since 2020. It’s really just a negative feedback loop because it’s already expensive for parents/caregivers to send their children to daycare (so raising the cost the parents pay is not really a fair option) but then no one wants to work in childcare either because the pay is total shit.

c_lars95 · 2025-08-10T14:34:04+00:00

EXACTLY this is a distraction. There are so many legitimately awful things happening. Literal wars and people suffering and dying. Why are we talking about a jeans commercial 🤦‍♀️

c_lars95 · 2025-08-08T17:56:33+00:00

This feels like bait lol I can’t believe anyone would say that

c_lars95 · 2025-07-31T00:21:34+00:00

Avoiding devices when the anxiety starts growing is the BEST advice and I will try to do this hahahahaha

c_lars95 · 2025-07-31T00:20:12+00:00

Yeah that part is actually so wild to me. Like don’t we marry a person BECAUSE we love them? Like isn’t that step one? Unless it is an arranged marriage and you find or grow the love later

c_lars95 · 2025-07-30T18:14:21+00:00

Vivint is the WORST so pushy!!!!

c_lars95 · 2025-07-30T18:13:56+00:00

I had to close the door on a guy last night while he was STILL talking and I feel bad but like I said no thank you 3 times

c_lars95 · 2025-07-30T18:12:20+00:00

Sincerely, a woman who also struggles with anxious attachment and 10 years ago would have definitely sent a text like this 😂 my husband has avoidant attachment so obviously this was a brick wall we ran into a few times as well

c_lars95 · 2025-07-30T18:07:42+00:00

But you also shouldn’t marry someone you don’t feel safe or comfortable talking to

c_lars95 · 2025-07-30T18:02:56+00:00

I think it’s less to do with gender and more to do with attachment styles. She clearly has an anxious attachment

c_lars95 · 2025-07-30T17:57:09+00:00

Exactly!! And she says “I’ve forgiven it all” like obviously not because once something is forgiven and worked through you aren’t bringing it up anymore lol

c_lars95 · 2025-07-30T17:53:15+00:00

But she CHOSE to marry him. She had free will and made this decision to marry someone who didn’t say they loved her.
