Come out and show your support for democracy and a bunch of local orgs this Saturday at Monroe Park. The rally will have speakers on election protection and the three amendments coming up on the ballot.

After the march we will have various local speakers talk about their local campaigns and events, like VRS divest campaign, DSA with their Block Flock campaign, Ranked Choice Voting in RVA and others.

There will also be a dozen or so local activist orgs tabling and we are running a period product drive as well.

As someone that has been going to these parks for decades, the roller coaster death in GA has really freaked me out. I know historically both parks have cared about ride safety and maintenance and done all the 'right' things. The ownership changes and shift in focus to being purely profit driven has me second-guessing whether they will continue to do the right things.

Anyone have any insight on how the state regulates these parks? Is there a website where you can find violations? Is it likely any issues would be found before a horrible accident?

Seriously debating whether I can renew passes for next year and actually enjoy riding.

Looking for ballpark costs to have someone come to clean a 2300 square foot home every 2 weeks

Hi friends. I’ve had a pretty debilitating case of body dysmorphia my whole life. It’s tied in with a history of trauma and bad eating habits, as well. Wondering if anyone in RVA has had any luck with any support groups, whether it’s online or in person (preferred). I want the group to be rva-based, and feel like a community. I’m a cis straight man but connect more with women emotionally, so a coed group is preferred.

I stare at my body daily in hatred and pick at my love handles daily and break down in tears if I open up about it. But on the surface I’m athletic and confident and just “overweight,” so my disorder isn’t really taken seriously by friends or family. Looking for a group that might understand the pain I bottle up. Thanks <3

Our American Cultural Heritage and History are less protected

A lot of us in Richmond value our history and culture and want to see it protected or at least documented through archaeological investigations, avoidance, or minimization of impacts. Please watch this video about the 60th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act, why it was started (and signed into law LBJ and given teeth by Richard Nixon), what it does for us, and why it’s currently in danger.

No matter your political affiliation I believe that most people do not want to see our history erased.

If you feel like I do, you should let your representatives know.

I know that there are many problems we are currently facing, but all of that has the effect of letting things like this slip by unnoticed. That’s why I did what I have never done but once, and post on Reddit.

If you got this far, thanks for reading. ✌🏼🖤🤘🏼

Following the lawsuit with the NAR, I’m trying to figure out what have been the best options in rates and commissions for realtors. I know some realtors have gone toward flat rate while others have found other ways to bring value. Just wanted to see what the RVA community has seen work for them with buying and selling property.

Not my first rodeo with DPU. Earlier this year created a new online account after our account numbers changed. Last two months when I try to log into my account it just resets me back to the home page. The new system doesn’t have the bill attached to the email reminders, and they dropped my paper bills automatically when the system changed. So my options are to either pay the amount I don’t trust is correct or go down there and ask for a paper copy? Been on hold for 2 hours.

Any suggestions?

Has anyone been to the festival? Whats it like?
This year is the 6th year it looks like. Planning on going with the family (3 year old and 11 month old). Looks like they have a variety of kids activities!

A word of caution to anyone who has semi-valuable vintage decorations!! You may want to take measures to secure the, someone stole two vintage halloween blow molds off our porch in Northside :( I have hired an Etsy witch to curse whoever did this. Hoping they're returned to their rightful home soon.

They look exactly like these pics. Not sure how reddit can help but I'm desperate :( One was given to me by my grandma when I was 5 and has "halloween 2000" written on the bottom so if you see that at a thrift or consignment please DM me!!!

I got some shots of yall doing some crazy shit!

Hope to see you out there!

My roommate and I are currently fostering this sweet girl, and we’d love to find her a loving forever home!

Star is about 9-10 months old and is such a friendly, affectionate kitty. She loves being around people, playing, and getting lots of attention. She’s even leash trained, so she’d be a fun little adventure buddy!

She would do best as the ONLY cat in the home, as she absolutely loves people but doesn’t get along with other cats.

Star is:
🐱 Spayed
💉 Up to date on rabies & FVRCP vaccines
🦮 Leash trained
💕 Very friendly & people-oriented

She is such a sweet girl and deserves a home where she can be loved and spoiled! ❤️

Please dm me with any questions!!

Rescheduled due to heavy rain expected! Please come in November if you are in need.

Within the last 3-4 hours. I bought this less than a month ago and it’s a good damn bike.
