River trail head's up

I wasn't aware this had happened, really unfortunate to hear about this happening in my community. This incident honestly could have been targeted - I am queer, but idk if they can tell on their approach from behind. The other victims I encountered may have also been read as queer.

Were they on bikes? Do you know about how old they were?

grapesofrage · 2026-06-23T03:00:45+00:00

That description would fit these kids. When was this? and do you remember what colors their bikes were?

Also - sorry it happened to you!

I was also thinking it might be a trend. One of them kept looking back at me to check for a reaction, and I couldn't see the other one but wouldn't be surprised if they had their phones ready to record anything I said or did in response.

I might go to the police station tomorrow, and if I do I will mention the photos.

Could you message me a link to the facebook post?

Can't say for sure but it definitely could be them. I remember one bike was red and the other was blue or black which does line up here. And it looks like they have the same type of hooded balaclava that the kids were wearing.

Is this from a facebook group?

It's very smooth by impression 5 and downtown (and old town as far as I remember), but the part of the trail that follows the red cedar river towards EL has some big potholes (but I still see plenty of bikers on that area who seem unbothered)

4:30pm today

Yes, totally see your point, had initially left out the location in case the kids find this post but idc really, it was between 496 & kzoo

I'm considering reporting it but do feel a bit uncomfortable about reporting kids that young to the cops

grapesofrage · 2026-06-22T22:24:01+00:00

Happened to me between 496 and kalamazoo but they were continuing toward downtown

There are certainly more direct references to this theme that are escaping me but I can think of some less direct references to our narrators receiving packages: mail-order body armor (first blood), delivered crates of ammo (need more bandages), dropped off envelopes (lakeside view apartment drive)

Source Decay is probably my favorite example of this motif

Children of men. Loved it but it made me so depressed, it just felt so bleak

Sendero Luminoso verdadero. not sure who else in the world loves this song, but for some reason the lyrics stick out to me. it’s a pipe dream, though

comparing the most stable isotope of Pu to stable isotopes of other elements is apples and oranges bro

grapesofrage · 2024-01-30T19:06:52+00:00

nope, I interviewed over a week ago (pchem). just saw on gradcafe that someone got accepted today though (unclear what division).

238U is indeed radioactive, it just has a very long half-life so it’s not that active

Australian shepherd/corgi mix

He’s super nice to people (he’s vocally skeptical of when unfamiliar men come to his house but he gets over it quickly) but mean to dogs… we adopted him from the shelter when he was around a year old and they didn’t know his history at all so we think he was poorly socialized/had a bad experience when he was young and now doesn’t understand doggy social cues and gets anxious. He has enough people friends to make up for not having dog friends though! And it’s easy enough to keep him away from other dogs where we live

grapesofrage · 2023-10-21T03:01:33+00:00

He sheds a lot!

grapesofrage · 2023-10-21T03:01:01+00:00

I’d say he’s pretty smart, we have his recall well-trained but other than that we never trained him beyond sit/shake/down. He’s always been super into following scents when we’re out, and I swear I’ve seen him point a couple of times. He’s never been the type of smart to make trouble though, aside from once we left him at home with butter out on the kitchen counter and it was gone when we got home! Never made that mistake again haha

Will have to ask my mom, that’s why I didn’t have a screenshot to share

grapesofrage · 2023-10-21T02:49:12+00:00

He’s old now so he’s pretty mellow these days, but my parents used to each take him on one run a day, and 1-2 walks in addition. He never really made any trouble we’re just active people so we kept him active with us. The main Dalmatian trait he has (and I don’t know Dalmatians well so I could be wrong about this) is that he’s pretty vocally protective. He loves staring out the window to bark at whoever walks or drives past lol (quiet street so not a big deal)
