TL;DR - My junior a legit female is just obsessed over me to the point i’m writing this post xd.
So there is this girl she’s like 2 years younger than me and she just likes me ( more like obsessive over me ) so much sometimes i think even more than my future husband/ boyfriend Xd.
So a year back i got this text & request from a girl after checking her pfp i thought she must be a junior because i may have seen her in school i accepted the req , didn’t follow back ( didn’t feel like it ).
After accepting her request she literally spam my inbox with “hii” “hii didi” “helloo didi” “hii” “aap kese ho?” i thought it must be a guy or she must have some urgent request from me lmao bc i know no girl who would text like that i followed her back and it was legit a girl ( she use to post and upload stories almost daily ) and i remember i shared school bus with her when we were really young maybe.
I’m in general nice to everyone i texted her thought she might stop at some point but she just didn’t stop adoring me man like it was kinda creepy and sweet at the same time bc it has never happened to me & i’m the most avg gal evaaa. So i kept asking her “do you want something from me?” “do you want me to recommend your name to some competition or something ? ” ( i was deputy cultural incharge at the time ) she said “no didi i want you” and i was like “ehen?” it was getting weirder and weirder with more i interact with her so i told my bestfriend of that time she wasn’t believing me how can a girl be that weird & nice to me lmao. She said to just ignore her which i was already doing but she use to litreally spam me with 10messages at one point , I literally use to reply very dry & rude but seemed like she didn’t gave 2 flying fucks about it T-T , she use to ( still do ) litreally tell me how her day went / how is she managing her studies etc without even questioning it , i told her you’re annoying as fuck please stop texting me & made her understand instead of wasting time texting me focus on real life things she agreed but didn’t stop honestly , i texted her sane sister about it she told me to ignore her & she is sorry about her behaviour, she told their parents about it she got scolded by her parents lmao which she conveyed to me & i blocked her.
She made another account & kept on apologising i litreally snitched on to her & i was like BROOOOOOOO? , She use to do the same thing with her new account now i didn’t even bother to reply her and i was going through some exam and shit so i deactivated my instagram.
Few days after i got a text & a call on Whatsapp from her and i was like WHOOO THEE FUCK GAVE HER MY NUMBER? Apparently she close near my ex bestfriend & she did man i was so furious literally cursed her because it’s just so creepyyyyyyyggyg next whats worse you can expect she came to my home ( my ex bestie gave her my address) as she apprantly wanted to “meet” me to “apologise” We met for like 20 mins ig i can’t be rude on face idk y also she’s just younger , stupid & cringey than me & after she came into my house before going out she came in for a hug kissed me on my cheeks T-T . I WAS SPEECHLESS
I told this to my bestfriend of that time & she literally died laughing & told me to we’ll meet tomorrow i’ll curse her from your account and i was like “fine” lmao idc. ;-;
We both did bc i was kinda eeked also surprised/ shocked by that , yk wat she did she apologised to me for that , genuinely felt bad for her ngl , so now i don’t even open her texts i just give her dryest replies i possibly could & act like idc but lemme tell you she appreciates me alot that no one has ever did lmao, She acts the same way tho & idts she gives fucks about how i react lmao ;-; . She still spams me with texts and unsends when i don’t reply , i have stopped giving fucks about her. Also, did i mention she even edits of me T-T.
I’m writing this post bc yesterday she texted me she’s in amritsar and wanted us to facetime because she wanted to show me around.🗿

TW: overeating, binge eating. SW: 215 CW: 154
I've been weight lifting and watching what I eat since 2017. My lowest weight was 135 lbs in 2021. My weight loss was slow and steady, which has allowed me to maintain it pretty well. It also helps that I have built muscle mass and retrained my brain on healthy eating... or so I thought.
I've been struggling for nearly a year and a half. Feeling like I want to get to my "final form" (in my brain, that's wearing a bikini and being confident) and this has caused me to go through cycles of restricting, then overeating, then full on bingeing. In the mindset of "this is the last time" but it never is. I am unmotivated to go to the gym. I am JUST SO TIRED OF FIGHTING MY OWN BRAIN. How do I come out of this? Do you all have any tips? I feel like I'm going to ruin my metabolism again but buoying up and down with calories and inconsistency in the gym. Help me :(

I've been working on this project off and on for the better part of the last 24 months or so and have gotten to the point where I thought I'd open up to this community if there are any interested devs. After numerous iterations, I'm currently using the following tech stack: - Vue3 (frontend) - Django (backend) - MySQL (DB)
Professionally, I spend most of my time in the world as a distressed financial analyst/advisor. Often, much of my time can be spent simply doing research and pouring through company documents and grabbing/saving important pieces of information I come across as I prepare summaries/analysis.
Using some inspiration from existing tools I've come across in this industry, I have a number of interesting features I'm working on implementing for a more cutting edge tool that would pretty easily standout against a lot of the very outdated stuff the finance industry uses.
The first major integration (which is already in process) is with the SEC/Edgar public company filing system but will seek to add many more including PACER, state and federal courts, congressional documents--to name a few. After more than 5 years in the finance industry, I've come to appreciate that there's quite a lot that goes into just understanding what you're looking at in terms of the information/documents that these systems provide which I think is what makes my perspective with the combination of tech & finance unique/valuable (generally, I've found--excluding excel--finance professionals are on the low end of tech savvy)
I am mostly self-taught, but took several graduate-level CS courses while I was getting my masters and have always had my hands in the world of tech/coding, especially the last several years. I don't consider myself an expert by any means on any topic so I am all ears for how to do things better and am always looking for a sounding board/someone to brainstorm with. Given enough time I can build just about anything but thought there might be some folks out there interested in coming along for the ride.
If you are interested please dm me. This project is heavy on the following topics - PDF display/editing/etc - Data/document/api integration - Responsive GUI - Relational Databases - Task queues (evaluating something like celery currently)
Because this is a full service app, a lot of the more of the typical components are being built (or will need to be be built) as well, such as: - Email registration/forgot password/confirmation - Credit card payments integration - Static file storage managememt (s3)
I am not yet at the stage of providing a live demo of the current implementation but if I get enough time over the next couple weeks I fully expect to start pushing some sort of demo aws soon. Because this is my 3rd/4th iteration having solved many of the more hairy issues previously, progress has been rather quick over the last month.
As I said, if this sounds interesting or if you have questions please let know.

My WS (32) is the love of my life–I mean that. As in, I (43) don’t want to try again with anyone else. Not that I could trust another person after what’s happened. I met her nearly eight years ago–three years after I left my first wife, who emotionally abused me for ten years.
When I first met WS she was in a relationship. A few months later, I learned that the relationship had ended, so I asked her out. We moved in together after a year. We had been together nearly three years when we got married.
We moved to a new town for a job (mine) six months before the pandemic began. So…we ended up stuck in a town we didn’t like without any real local support system. Am I a bad person for saying some of the best days of my life occurred during the first two years of the pandemic? Usually, I spend more than two days with a houseguest and I want to run through a wall to escape. And let’s not get into my first marriage. My WS, though, is my favorite person without a doubt. I would easily give my life for hers. I love her. End of. We found ways to enjoy each other’s company, even though we traded depressive episodes and didn’t connect as much physically as a result.
But, you know, the internet can be a good place to meet people when the people in your area aren’t your cup of tea. Of course, you can spend too much time tapping away on your phone. Especially when you have ADHD, which you were just recently diagnosed with.
When my WS started disappearing into her phone more and more, I said something…quite frequently, to varying degrees of success. But she had found herself a good friend, and I tried not to be jealous. But the friend is not the AP…the friend of the friend is.
He befriended both of us. But by February of this year, WS and AP were more than friends. Now, I saw one discord message pop up on the PC one day that gave me pause, but I dismissed it because I, someone with severe trust and abandonment issues, trusted my WS. Whoops.
A bunch of people in our little friend group were planning on meeting up in early May. In early March, my WS told me that she had “had offers” from a couple of people. No, we aren’t in an open marriage. Yes, we had discussed the possibility of it in the future–but never concretely. The offers were from the friend and the friend of the friend. What gets me is that my WS told me like it was an everyday conversation topic.
So my WS eventually “realized” she had had an EA for at least a month. We went to CT. She went NC with the AP. Three weeks into NC, the fog lifted and she was pretty tortured by the shame. I insisted she start IC because shame is a nasty thing to carry around. Meanwhile, we’re talking boundaries, problems with the relationship that went unsaid, how to open the relationship, renegotiating where we would move etc. Now, in the end, I would have agreed to anything.
Two weeks later, friend group trip upcoming, the AP broke NC. Poor pitiful him…he’s so lonely and doesn’t know if he should come on the trip. My WS had an IC appointment two hours later. According to WS, they’ve been talking about her avoidant attachment style, childhood trauma, and begin “good selfish.” (Second full session, mind you). 1.5 hours later and she said she wanted our relationship to end.
The next week, we went on the friend trip. I stayed one night and had to leave because I just couldn’t be there. The result? WS and AP had two days together. They spent most of their time together but allegedly did not sleep together. FWIW, I’m still more inclined to believe that than not.
After the trip, my WS went to stay with her friend (who lives with her parents) for three weeks. She had a great time and got to visit her AP at least once. Meanwhile, I was home going through hell. When she got home from “getting space,” there was obviously no change in her decision. She’s moving up to where friend and AP are as soon as she can find a job.
WS and AP are “just friends” now. Not that it matters, she says, because our relationship is over. She feels bad that I hurt and “takes responsibility” for it, but won’t do anything tangible because–again–to her, the relationship is over. WS and AP are always chatting on discord, one on one or in group chats that I’m not a part of. I’m pretty sure they talk on the phone nearly every day.
Some other things: AP is allegedly in an open marriage of some sort. WS cannot verify any of the particulars with me and doesn’t think that’s a problem. (I’m working on finding a way to contact AP’s spouse.) However, from another friend, I know that AP has had at least one EA prior (about five years ago)–and it definitely happened before the opening of his marriage. I have shared this fact with my WS. Doesn’t appear to matter.
We are dumping the CT at my decision because they’re useless. I have been seeing an IC as well. They are pretty solidly of the belief that a) I’m not crazy and b) my WS won’t be out of the fog for about six months. They say six months because their theory is that the limerence likely rests more with the AP, and that’s about the amount of time it will take this serial cheating scumbag to move on.
Meanwhile, I’m simultaneously suicidal and trying to find a new job in a place that I want to move to. A place we wanted to move to prior to the EA, actually. Who will get a new job and move on first is anyone’s guess. I can afford to live here on my own if I have to, but she cannot.
I know our first relationship is toast, but I still believe in her. For better or for worse. I’m doing my best to hang in, knowing nothing I say or do will make a difference with my WS right now. And, yes, she’s getting all the cake. I can’t be distant–it will not happen. It isn’t me, and I can’t/won’t do it.
So, yeah, I know I’m SOL. For now or for always–we’ll see. I am doing my best to work for R, be it now or down the road. I’m also hoping I’ll be able to forgive by the time she figures out what she’s done. Or, at the very least, I’ll find out what all the times she said she’d love me forever and never leave me no matter what really meant. In the meantime, I could really use some support. Thanks in advance.

I (23F) am very jealous of my sister (16F). Growing up, I had the shorter end of the stick because I'm the oldest and the "guinea pig" for my parents and I resent that. My sister has always been treated better than me, my grandparents going so far as to admit she's their favorite grandchild. She's gotten away with so many things in her lifetime that I never could have gotten away with. She has friends that she's able to actually hang out with every day and even stay the night on a school night. She doesn't seem to have any mental issues, at least nowhere near compared to mine (another thing I resent about my parents is them not getting me tested for autism as a child bc I'm almost certain I do now), so she was/is more popular in school than I was. She's skinnier and so much more prettier. I wish I looked like her most of all. We don't really communicate bc we didn't get along very well growing up, and I no longer speak to either of my parents. She's had it so much easier than me in almost every category and I just think about this almost all the time. Where did I go wrong?

They're doing my teeth in sets of three, which is becoming a huge problem since they schedule me out for months at a time. I honestly want this to be all over with. My teeth are absolutely horrendous. Despite my immense anxiety as referenced in my last post, I was prescribed with Xanax to help the extreme anxiety so hopefully that makes getting through the process easier. I just get really antsy about my mouth. I don't like anyone going near it. I have a pretty bad gag reflex and the dentist can trigger that.
Anyways, I'm in the process of preparing to be toothless. Ive pretty much accepted it's going to be about a year possibly longer before I can get my dentures due to financial reasons. I bought a blender today, to make smoothies, and will be buying a food processor the next time I get paid in 2 weeks. I'm very very adamant and determined to not let being toothless interrupt my eating habits. So that's why I've decided on getting the food processor, I figure I can probably put most things in there to break them down enough to swallow without losing too much of their regular consistency.
What is everyone's thoughts as well as favorite recipes for eating without teeth? I love food and it's always been a comforting thing for me, so I refuse to let this ruin that.

Hi folks!
This is a really long shot but, today my backpack was stolen (between 12:00 and 13:00) from the site I was working in. Happened near langara 49th station. They stole: - a back herschel backpack - MacBook Pro (with feminists stickers in case that matters) - AirPods with a purple silicon case - Kate Spade wallet with debit, credit card, Canadian ID, drivers license and my Mexican ID.
I already reported it to VPD but there’s not much they can do. I tracked my AirPods to Hastings and tried to look for everything but didn’t find anything. I guess im just posting in case anyone tries to sell you a MacBook with Spanish keyboard lol Please if someone finds them let me know, will be much appreciated!
Thanks!

I thought Fuga 1 had it's hard moments, but aside from one or two fights, it was pretty forgiving. Only lost one kid on my first playthrough.
I'm starting chapter 10 on Fuga 2, and I've lost FOUR children already. Pretty much every boss fight has been a disaster. Bosses have basically been walls of armor that barely take damage despite my constant leveling up, and the multiple enemies or areas on bosses you have to attack have just about overwhelmed me every time. Within a handful of turns, my HP gets shredded, and by the time the soul cannon countdown begins, I'm nowhere near close to the end of the fight, even after using the managarm.
Three chapters left, and I have little doubt that I'll be losing several more children before I finish the game. I'll definitely do at least two more playthroughs, but ugh, I've just about reached the point where I'm dreading continuing the game because I know it's going to continue to beat me down every step of the way.

Dm me and you would be my hero

I want my daughter to be able to have a hobby and group of close friends as meaningful and fulfilling as the the entirety of Freemasonry has been for me. The way I think I can give that to her is through the OES. However my local chapter is not ANYWHERE near how active and young as my Blue Lodge is. Everything is read, we barely have enough girls to open the chapter. And there hasn't been a candidate since I joined nearly a year ago.
I'm going to get my daughter into my nearest Rainbow girls as soon as I can. I'm also the associate Patron of my chapter and was able to get them to start hosting a practice once a month, but nobody shows up for the stated meetings, let alone a practice.
Any brothers know of a way that seems to have helped them to bring an OES Chapter back from the dead? I'm going to try all I can to squeeze into any local events I can and hand out petitions like candy (OES can solicit membership) and see what comes of it but I'd like to know your thoughts..

I was building my house trying to sleep and out of know where pillagers came up over the hill and killed me then my dog attacked and they killed it also so here is no out post near my house

We may be anonymous strangers on the internet, but we have one thing in common. We may be a world apart, but we're here together!
Welcome to the 24 hour pledge!
I'm pledging myself to not drinking today, and invite you to do the same.
Maybe you're new to /stopdrinking and have a hard time deciding what to do next. Maybe you're like me and feel you need a daily commitment or maybe you've been sober for a long time and want to inspire others.
It doesn't matter if you're still hung over from a three day bender or been sober for years, if you just woke up or have already completed a sober day. For the next 24 hours, lets not drink alcohol!
This pledge is a statement of intent. Today we don't set out trying not to drink, we make a conscious decision not to drink. It sounds simple, but all of us know it can be hard and sometimes impossible. The group can support and inspire us, yet only one person can decide if we drink today. Give that person the right mindset!
What happens if we can't keep to our pledge? We give up or try again. And since we're here in /stopdrinking, we're not ready to give up.
What this is: A simple thread where we commit to not drinking alcohol for the next 24 hours, posting to show others that they're not alone and making a pledge to ourselves. Anybody can join and participate at any time, you do not have to be a regular at /stopdrinking or have followed the pledges from the beginning.
What this isn't: A good place for a detailed introduction of yourself, directly seek advice or share lengthy stories. You'll get a more personal response in your own thread.

A link to the current Daily Check-In post can always be found near the top of the sidebar.
Hello SD friends, Happy Tuesday!
I'm so touched reading your daily check-ins. While I may not be able to read all, I try to catch up with as many as possible. Some of you are thriving and that truly warms my heart! For those who are struggling, know that I feel your pain. I've been there too. Among these, a few comments stood out to me, filled with despair and questioning: When? When will I be happy? When does it get easier?
From my personal experience, I can say it often takes longer than you'd want, but also, relief comes before you know it. Initially, every successful sober day felt like a hard-won battle. Then it was a string of "blah" days. And one regular day, without any fanfare, I realized I felt alive again. The significance of this transformation only became apparent in hindsight.
That was my journey, but let's get into some science for a more generalized view. According to a study published in the European Journal of Social Psychology, the process of habit formation can range from as short as 18 days to as long as 254 days, with an average of 66 days.
So, what does this mean? It means your journey is unique. You might find it gets easier sooner, or it might take a while. The crucial thing to remember is that every sober day brings you one step closer to your goal.
Remember, choosing to not drink is hard, but it gets easier.
Bonus info: In the study, a habit was defined as a behavior that has become automatic due to its frequent repetition. Which is way more than I could have hoped for in the beginning.

Hi all! I've joined this group because I feel like feel free is starting to take a bit of control of my life. I'm curious other than the exorbitant amount of spending what are the other benefits of getting off this? My main reason for quitting was because of the money but after finding this group it seems like there might be something more. What are you guys think this drink is doing to us? I thought I was going crazy but after reading these posts. My skin has been extremely dry it's like I'm almost shedding. I'm not sure mentally if there's any effect. Going through a breakup is kind of what brought me to this to get off the booze. So my mental state a little all over the place. What are some other side effects of this?

I absolutely love the music so far in the game. There was a part in the non-combat music near the beginner's areas that sounded very familiar to me and I couldn't figure out how. It finally clicked! It sounds very similar to some of the music in The Goonies. Can you guys hear it?

So I was at Dominion the other day. Just got back from Osaka yesterday, so I thought I'd write up about stuff from the crowd perspective, stuff that might not have gotten across to the broadcast etc.

• The young lion dark match was great. Oskar Leube put up a hell of an effort, and nearly submitted both Oiwa and Boltin with a boston crab but the 5 minute time limit ran out on both before they would give up. In the end, Nakashima managed to submit a very tired Leube in the final round.
  
• The crowd was particularly enjoying the dynamic between the giant (tall) Leube and the giant (big) Boltin.
  

• Ospreay vs Archer got over very well. The crowd clearly likes Archer a lot, and Ospreay is always a crowd-pleaser.

• The LIJ vs J5G match was actually a bit rough. I might just be reading too much into it but Shingo had to continuously get the crowd to make noise, and seemed annoyed by the end. For some reason the crowd just didn't feel all that into the match.

• Jr. tag match was solid, though it did still feel like the crowd was only starting to get into the energy of it. A good amount of spots were popped for though, and both teams got over well.
  
• The Moloney betrayal genuinely swerved everyone. Most of us looking at Connors and the entrance ramp so none of us even noticed Moloney until it was too late.
  

• ZSJ is remarkably over. Like it felt like 99% of the hall was rooting for him over Cobb. (Probably not the case but just how it felt.) Crowd exploded for his Tour of the Island counter. Folks next to me were laughing out of amazement.

• Tag bout was really good but a bit hard to follow at points. Bishamon winning definitely went over really well though. They're clearly favourites at this point.
  
• War Dogs reveal was definitely a surprise, and a good amount of people didn't recognise Kidd and Coughlin. One guy from our stand shouted (basically) "Who the fuck are you guys!?" in Japanese, which got a laugh from a chunk of the crowd.
  

• Something I'm not sure got across in the broadcast, because I haven't seen many people talk about it, is that people popped hard for Tanga Loa in the G1. It was genuinely sweet hearing people cheer that he was going to be back.
  
• Kaito Kiyomiya's announcement was electric. Crowd absolutely erupted.
  

• Finlay vs ELP went over really well with the crowd. ELP was probably the single most over face of the night. Crowd was calling his name at every fitting moment, and booing Finlay for everything he did.

• It took a little bit for the crowd to get into (I think Finlay vs ELP drained the crowd's energy a bit because folks were non-stop cheering/booing) but eventually folks got fully behind Wato. It was great watching every Hiromu chant eventually get drowned out by Wato chants.
  
• In what seems to be becoming a Wato staple at this point, an eh starting reaction from the crowd turned white hot as the end of the match came around. He's ridiculously hard not to root for in the closing stretches.
  

• Folks in the crowd were genuinely excited for Moxley and Claudio.
  
• Throughout the match there were a lot of things that got fun reactions. Moxley and Ishii not backing down from each other got a lot of excitement. Every time Okada and Shota were in the ring together it felt like everyone's eyes glued to the ring. And of coruse, the giant swing had folks roaring by the end. Unfortunately no count though.
  

• The starting LIJ fistbump fiasco with Tsuji had the folks behind me literally in tears laughing.
  
• Yota Tsuji.
  
• Yota Tsuji.
  
• Yota Tsuji.
  
• I cannot emphasise this enough. Yota Tsuji.
  
• SANADA has some excellent comedic chops, be they intentional or just a side-effect of his somewhat awkward personality. Crowd couldn't stop laughing at his post-match trying to think of something to say to Osaka.
  
• Apparently this didn't get across on the broadcast, but LIJ didn't just leave Tsuji to walk to the back on his own. They waited for him at the end of the exit walk, where they did the LIJ fistbump. This is why at one point early on in SANADA's post-match speech you can hear the crowd start randomly cheering, and SANADA looks behind him just goes like "...OK."
  
• It almost felt like LIJ were trolling both Tsuji and SANADA. Tsuji by making him walk to the back for his fistbump, and SANADA by making the crowd cheer once more for Tsuji while he's in the middle of his closing victory speech.
  

• I left the arena as soon as it was clear to me that nothing else was going to happen, because I knew I had to get the Yota Tsuji moon shirt after that match. However, by the time I got outside and to the merch stand, they had already sold out of them entirely. The man is fucking over.
  
• Yota Tsuji.
  

PREFACE: If stuff like this isn't allowed here, please notify me and I will take it down, thanks.
tl;dr version for anyone who needs to know what went down today: >Dude wouldn't stop giving me a headache while I'm trying to rest.
>I try to close his door.
>He INSISTS it to be open, but that would continue bothering me.
>Get into an argument.
>He throws a FUCKING TRASH CAN AT ME. >Continues to blow up at me.
Full Version Story begins here:
This isn't the first time he's done it either. For context, I am in group housing (we're all disabled here to some degree, I myself being autistic), and this particular housemate's (I'll call him A) room is near mine. I was napping earlier, but I could hear A speaking way to loudly on his phone with his door wide open. Mine was closed AND I had headphones on, but could still hear A, so there's nothing I can do to block out his noisiness except close both doors. But A insists it to be open. Also worth noting is that A is a safety threat to the rest of us, he reaches anger VERY quickly over literally anything (he did so this morning, which I also heard). His own roommate (who I'll call B) had a seizure (which is unrelated to this), but while B was at the hospital being treated for the seizure, they found he also had a broken shoulder, which I suspect is because of how often A yanks him around.
I don't know what to do anymore, and I'm at the end of my mental rope. I tried to be civil, but A always blows up at any attempt "against" what he wants. And not just at me, but even with the caregivers, or basically ANYONE who opposes what he wants. I realize at this point we cannot co-exist together peacefully, so I'll have to start looking elsewhere to live. The problem is I don't have anywhere I can go, due to my lack of connections locally. So this is where my request comes in:
I'm hoping to find a kind soul who may be able to liberate me from this drain of a house. I'd prefer if you're patient, civil, and mind your own business (mostly) when in the home. I don't wish to travel far due to all my doctors and specialists being in the area though, so I'd prefer if you're still in the East Bay or Bay Area. I know I can't really be picky with this though, I'm just giving my "ideal" situation. At this point though, I don't care how far I have to go to be saved, as long as I can live peacefully. I can't live where I am anymore, and my mom won't take me back either, so if no one helps me I'll probably be roaming the streets until someone saves me...
If any kind soul is willing to help a stressed-out stranger in need, I'm 27M with diagnosed autism (high-functioning) if that is important to you. If you can't help, then advice is welcome too to safe places I can potentially find in the area and stay at long-term until I get life sorted out.

There is Serbian Orthodox Church in my city but I would prefer the one in the city next to me. The reason is because the one in my city is full of people who I know will gossip about me if I start attending the church :( I won’t feel comfortable. I’m worried when I call to start the process of baptism they’re going to say to go to the one in my city. Or they’ll ask why.
The other one is only a 30 min drive.

Thank you to the nearly 400 Somerville residents and workers who attended the only currently scheduled public hearing for the FY 2024 budget tonight! The hearing was fully virtual and lasted 4 hours. Due to several technology issues, it started 25 minutes late, there were constant issues with the Spanish and Portuguese language channels, and interpretation also ended after hour 2 because the services weren't booked for long enough, which was extremely frustrating and disappointing.
In spite of all of this, an estimated 90 people testified verbally (including me). The 3 funding demands echoed by essentially all the residents:
1) Demolishing and rebuilding the Winter Hill Community School 2) A non-police alternative emergency response program, and 3) Affordable housing initiatives to stop the displacement crisis
-- All of which seem to be missing from the current proposed budget. Many residents, especially WHS parents and teachers, are calling on the Council to fully reject the budget and vote no until the Mayor amends the city's capital improvement plan to authorize bonds to rebuild the school. It was a powerful and inspiring night, and I appreciate ALL our neighbors who dedicated time to make your voice heard during one of our city's most important public processes!
I believe a recording of the hearing should by released by the City in a few days. If you couldn't make the hearing and want to get your advocacy on record, you can submit testimony writing by June 21, 2023 to: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) (I recommend including [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) and [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) just for good measure)
Who else was at the hearing to listen or testify? What did you think, and what more do you think our community needs from this year's budget?

OVERVIEW: I have two dogs currently, one is a male coonhound I adopted February of 2022, who is a bastard sometimes but a great and sweet dog. I felt bad when I was single leaving him alone while I worked all day, he’s so energetic, so I got another dog from the same place in July of 22. We walked them together at the shelter and the worker was surprised how well they did, she (the GSD) didn’t do well with the others generally. Well other than growling at my hound for being near while she ate once (never happened again after I reprimanded her) when I got her home she wasn’t aggressive towards him at all. But there were issues. 1. She growls and lunges at other dogs on walks, which has made my other dog start doing it too. She has ran out when guests opened my door twice, and I had to chase her down, which scares me because what if she had ran into another dog? 2. She, within minutes attacked other dogs at the dog park, so we can’t go there with her at all. She is great at non crowded parks. 3. She can’t be crate trained right now. I’ve seen $1000 crates online that look like they would work, but can’t afford them. She ruined a standard crate and I had to sand the sharp edges and zip tie it together. Bough a $200 “ultra tough” crate, she chewed a hole and escaped, then chewed another hole and got her head stuck in it. Had to get her out and it felt dangerous to her neck. 5. Most concerning once my hound yelped and I went out to see a hole in his snout the size of her tooth, around his whiskers down to the flesh. They do play pretty rough and it was months ago. 6. She bit my budgies cage when she slipped past my partner into the bedroom. Twice. 7. My partner has two cats who have been staying with a friend for almost a year because of the household, but she’s moving and we need to take them back. She has gone after a cat before and I know for a fact she will want to attack. We’re going to keep them separated at first and try anxiety meds (she has sever separation anxiety and whinges loudly when crated.) and introduce them slowly through bars while she’s medicated, but I’m worried. 8. She has broken into the kitchen and turned the stove on while I was gone for hours, twice. Almost started a fire.
I’m not sure I can even afford her right now, the constant equipment replacement, anxiety medication and vet bills and everything else. Even with how pretty of a dog she is and her breed and how sweet with people she is, I’m worried because of her temperament to dogs and cats, her separation anxiety and incredibly destructive behavior, she wouldn’t get adopted, at least for a long time. I feel like I need to see if I can correct her overtime, because she wouldn’t do well in most homes, but I’m not giving her as happy of a life as most people could, either. I’m broke and don’t have enough time for her. Had dogs my whole life but never this rough. I’m just so stressed.
