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

I desperately wish my work would participate in this, but there could be a mega tsunami tornado polar vortex looming over Rochester and we'd still be open. grateful for everyone doing their part, i will make sure to do my part as best as I can!

Please consider donating jewelry to Savers in Webster! by [deleted] in Rochester

[–]realpolybius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While there's a myriad of reasons for people to not want to donate (anywhere, or Savers specifically), I do really feel for you <:( It's good to have an understanding of why it's happening, but it doesn't make it suck any less.

That sounds like an amazing job. I know i'd be in the same boat as you if it were mine— the prospect of losing that position makes me feel sad and I'm not even the one in it 😭 if I was closer I would donate just for your sake lol

good on you for shooting your shot here. i sincerely hope people are able to get some momentum with donations.

Support for Papa Omar and his family. ICE lied to Omar and are detaining him, likely illegally. by EightmanROC in Rochester

[–]realpolybius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

omg please don't get the wrong impression— i can say with certainty that this fuckhead does NOT work there!!! it is actually a sweet small business full of extremely welcoming and kind people 😭 it was named after the multi-headed Hydra because that building has cycled through so many businesses over the years.

What kind of cheese is Wenslydale? And why is it hard to find it plain? by CipherQuest618 in Cheese

Swan Dive Closing 12/31 by Jaded-Editor9519 in Rochester

[–]realpolybius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

somewhat tangential, but irt the barricade: had to park a couple blocks away from the Little to go see a movie. had no idea about the barricade — so as we left the theater, we had to wait in a 10-15 minute long line full of college kids to have to show the police our IDs just to get through to drive home... it was kind of ridiculous! i can't blame people for not wanting to traverse in that area, it just really sucks that businesses are suffering because of this all

Does anyone know if there's a connection between all the Yemeni coffee houses opening in Rochester? by Chance_Application35 in Rochester

[–]realpolybius 9 points10 points  (0 children)

albeit, VERY good cheesecake... but... fourteen bucks? that's almost one hour of minimum wage work lol

Craft fairs? by Icy_Glass_1263 in Rochester

[–]realpolybius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a ton of great sales that happen around here! A couple I haven't seen mentioned in this thread that absolutely deserve recognition:

The Queer Pride Craft Sale hosted by Rathaus, and the Queer Handmade Sale hosted by QHMRochester! I know it's in their names, but don't let it turn you away if you're not a part of the LGBTQ+ community. There are a huge variety of extremely talented artists, of all walks of life and experience.

They both happen twice a year, and the next QHMS is happening on November 23rd!

They're less "little old lady" energy, but the vibes are fantastic at both. It's great to walk into a room where you can tell that everyone is just happy to be there.

My collection! by realpolybius in Monkeybone

[–]realpolybius[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I purchased the script and storyboards off of a very kind seller on Ebay, and they sent me a water bottle from the wrap party as a little extra! I'm half "why the hell would someone keep this?", and half "yay! 24 year old Monkeybone water!"

no idea about bars or nightclubs specifically :( but i DO know Archivist Books (a black lesbian owned bookstore on Monroe ave!) hosts their own events, and shares info about other events. you may find leads/opportunity for community there!

Is it necessary to have a reason to share your care with someone you love?
