Roommate Wanted

5 Upvotes

šŸ” **Looking for a Female Roommate!** 🐾

Hi everyone! I'm 26F, moving to Minnesota for work, and looking for a female roommate to sign a lease with!

I've already found a couple of nice **2 bed, 2 bath apartments** in **Anoka, Coon Rapids, and Blaine**, so we'd each have our own bedroom and private bathroom.

I'm hoping to move in by **October 21st**, so I'm looking to finalize something soon!

I also have a sweet, friendly 60-lb dog šŸ¶ā¤ļø, so you'd need to be comfortable living with a dog.

Looking for someone clean, respectful, and easygoing to share a cozy home with!

**Females only, please!** Feel free to DM me if you're interested! 😊

Checking in on lgbt students.

9 Upvotes

I know this is random.

But i was one of the 6 plaintiffs against the Anoka Hennipen School District in 2011 after their "neutrality" policy caused a suicide epidemic of lgbt teens and almost myself due to horrific bullying that was never consequented.

Our lawsuit successfully argued in court that sexual orientation should be protected under sex based discrimination protections of the civil rights act.

Something adopted by the Obama administration department of Justice and education.

This was one of the most important things ive ever done with this life and I am deeply saddened and enraged to see the trump administration has removed those policies from the DOE.

Im making a video series for social media soon about my story, and I can link them kn the future.

But I wanted to ask the lgbt community directly a few questions.

  1. Since 2011, has the homophobic bullying become less frequent?

  2. When you experience homophobia in schools is it handled?

  3. Do you feel safer in the district?

I hope to get positive responses. And I apologize if this post isnt accepted.

Beware of WHEELHOUSE

13 Upvotes

PLEASE be careful going to downtown Anoka. My boyfriend was recently drugged there, he believes a group of men were trying to drug the girls drink that he was sitting next to. He talked to a friend of his, and he was also drugged not too long ago. Both almost died and neither of them reported it. Has anyone else experienced this? He says it’s always been going on at Wheelhouse but I’ve never heard any women talking about it. PLEASE let your friends know. Ladies, be extra careful.

Looking to hire sales people, but where should I look?

3 Upvotes

My company is looking to hire a bunch of entry level sales people to train from scratch. To be honest, this is for Roofing Sales. But specifically insurance covered roofs, so the clients generally arent spending their own money.

Unlike most other roofing sales jobs, we are paying a 60k base and offer benefits. We are completely willing to train new employees from scratch, as long as they have a good attitude and personality for a sales position.

Any advice on where I can start looking? Indeed has been okay, but the sheer volume of applicants who clearly didnt read the job description is becoming frustrating. People in the service industry have been great candidates for the job, and our 2 best sales people were previously a bartender and a server.

I would appreciate any advice you might have, whether it be certain facebook or instagram pages, or even specific subreddits

Is this area safe for trans people?

17 Upvotes

So I’ve lived in MN before, and I might be moving back in a few years (long story). Before I lived in Forest Lake, but since then, I’ve began transitioning from male to female, and Forest Lake might not be the best place for that.

Would the Anoka/Coon Rapids/Big Lake/Dayton are be safe for me? Are people around here accepting of it? I mostly keep to myself outside of friends and family. Would I be fine out and about presenting as female? I worked at Cub last time I lived in MN and am interested in doing so again (also a long story), would I be safe working there?

Any advice is appreciated!

Extremist Christian Group & Blaine Police HRO ERPO

1 Upvotes

I am in a divorce and the lawyer my wife paid, found etc is also the same scumbag i caught her cheating on me with in 2023. They both have tried to ruin my life in many ways, since then. Only 3 days after I caught them i was giving my 2 year old a bath when the house was caught on fire by her 12 year old nephew that I believe did it on purpose. Fast forward to 2025 and my wife, her sister, and this scum bag lawyer plotted to get me arrested for kidnapping and breaking and entering, the police helped them by passing a stolen rifle to me, that actually was a failure too. They fucked up and left a trail of stupid mistakes. The problem is ive already reported the lawyer for trying to fabricate crimes and also for the attorney client issues with them having affairs after she paid him. I also was the target of some kind of christian church that was stalking me they had some meth head leave his van in my yard, supposedly to get fixed so i broke his ignition and saw right yhrough it. They have pushed me to far, staged a car accident got me almost kolled then chased me out of MN. I have a divorce lawyer but im looking for some advice on who to get help from when the police are corrupt, ive contacted the city manager already.
