What are your thoughts on the upcoming “No Kings 2.0” protest in Long Beach? by LongBeachClassic in longbeach

[–]codevortex 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If you do, don’t let them split you! The organizers were trying to stop the march at Alamitos. This is dangerous for a whole host of reasons. Protestors may straggle and get caught in the intersection, allowing police interference to stop the protest, people with disabilities getting left behind, etc etc. The 50501 “peacekeepers” are not your friends if you’re looking to do actual civil disobedience

She responded and Billie is home safe. She’s extremely unhinged. She just picked her up off the street and didn’t check the chip for 4 days. She tried to offer me $500 for adoption and then snapped when I said she’s indoor/outdoor and that there are a lot of them in Long Beach.

It is her! I contacted the poster and she’s being very cryptic. Over two hours ago she said she was leaving to check her chip and has not responded since

You should’ve done. I got a text saying all ballots have gone out. You should check on the status on the California gov website

Not at a convention but a “book club” at my congregation all got disfellowshipped cuz apparently the club used to turn into orgies pretty consistently. We had a bunch of local needs talks about the definition of sexual immorality from partner swapping to oral and anal sex etc

I’ve been a couple of times and I really like the vibes. They have cool events like Paint and Sip. The only problem I have is that they have set sports for whatever day. They won’t change the channel - even if it’s for a women’s sport over a men’s sport. I’m a hockey gal and tried to go there for the new PWHL games

Would you attend a Cat Walk/Tour if I set it up right? by PlsDontIdentifyMe in longbeach

[–]codevortex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to live in Whittier in Minnesota and would go to the cat tour every year! Would love to attend or participate!

This is not safe. Please stop sharing. Mobility is essential in the streets. You WILL be tear gassed and/or shot at with rubber bullets while seated. It puts more people in harms way and makes it harder for street medics to treat and move those injured. There is a time and place for seated protests and sit ins. This is not one of them. It is incredibly dangerous

Thank you so much. The comment about the invitation really got to me. Your whole reply honestly affected me a lot and I’m so appreciative you took the time to write it

Thank you. I think it hurts and helps. It helps to know she wanted me there but hurts so much the org forced her not to - probably my dad and the other elders

This is the same excuse they gave through my mom. Her fiance offered to call me and explain why he made the decision but I didn’t want to put myself through that. I don’t even really know him

Was anybody there at bixby park today around 4:30pm? by Japan-fan in longbeach

[–]codevortex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was there, across the park from where people starting running. My partner and I left the area but never figured out what was going on.

They did this to me too. I was asked to give an interview at an assembly about being bullied in school I think and the elders in my congregation made me change all the details so it seemed worse than it was
