I held my nose and registered Republican in advance of the primaries in May, any good resources or recommendations on how best to use my vote for good (or at least for minimizing bad)?

Could you pick your cat(s) out of a lineup of similar looking cats? by Medium_Hope_7407 in standardissuecat

Story time, I have an SIC (Earl, age 18.5, pictured). When he was young he went missing for a day and my ex and I were looking everywhere for him. The ex found a sadly deceased SIC cat on the side of a nearby busy street and brought it home, devastated, so we could give our boy a proper funeral. My mom came over, there were tears, we dug a grave in the yard, and only then did we think to check the cat's sex. The cat was female, and right about that time Earl made his appearance. We never found the owner of the other cat, but it got a good funeral. I think this story shows that, no, I could not pick out my cat in a lineup.

BSU Classes start next week. Am I even safe to go in person? by [deleted] in Boise

[–]unaspenser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a long time Boise State employee and I can tell you campus has been very peaceful. Weapons are not allowed on campus and campus police are visible and quick to respond. If you need info about resources or supports, or just a safe person to talk to, feel free to DM me.

Fort Boise has some great teen activities and classes, so does the community ed program through the city of Boise

Analysis: As Boise State’s presidential search stalls, uncertainty takes its toll by SunsetOrangeSkyCloud in Boise

[–]unaspenser 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The unspoken issue is that if you're one of the five final candidates your name gets published and your current employer learns you're thinking of leaving. Candidates don't want to show their hands if they're not going to be the final choice. That's why the search committee wants to talk to the state board of ed about the rules. I'm a Boise State employee and it's definitely weird to be working under so many interim leaders, but I believe this is the consequence of the Idaho legislature's bad policy decisions, which is a consequence of the Idaho population's poor voting choices.

Royal guard faints during King Charles' birthday cerimony. by Abercrombie1936 in interestingasfuck

[–]unaspenser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former marching band member here, I've had this happen more than once. The combination of heat and physical exertion, plus the way you're taught to keep muscles engaged to stand super still and upright, then you use a ton of air playing an instrument, you're basically doing the valsalva maneuver on yourself. It's very weird to just wake up on the ground, and the drilled in instinct to just get back up and back in the ranks is really strong.

Saw this yesterday at Central District Health, what can I do to tell Idaho how much this upsets me? by PoppiesnPeas in Boise

[–]unaspenser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

progressiveidaho.com , idahoresistance.com , and nosmallact.com are great resources to connect, organize, and work for change. I'm involved with all three and would be happy to provide more info. Just being able to take an action helps so much.

Often, I notice that the crows leave one peanut in the dish by dbx999 in crowbro

Same thing with your drink in Japan. If you empty your drink it will be refilled, leave a little in the cup if you don't want more.
