NYE FUCKED UP MY SLEEP CYCLE. IF A HOLIDAY FALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK, WE SHOULD HAVE THE REST OF THE WEEK OFF. AMERICANS DON'T DEMAND ENOUGH VACATION TIME. WE ARE TOO PRODUCTIVE WITH TOO LITTLE TO SHOW FOR IT. I'M TIRED.

Join us at the turf field behind South Eugene High School at noon. We got a new ball, let’s break it!

Fire vehicle on bridge to VRC scanning water as if expecting something to come down the river.

It's a fact that AirBnB's are affecting the housing supply nation wide, to which degree do you think it is driving up housing prices here in Eugene by taking housing out of the market?

We are not being invaded, Starlink just flew by, the probing has not yet begun.

Anybody knows what this piece of concrete used to be? It's at the far end of E Hillcrest Dr. Along the river.

Was the embezzlement case from about a year ago ever concluded? Have heard it was a high level employee but there's been no news of repercussion. Anyone know?

My 70 mom is currently undergoing chemotherapy, she experienced something traumatizing at a local hospital at the hands of a physician. We’re looking options and wanted to reach out here for any recommendations. Thank you in advance 🤍

Another kind poster shared this in another recent thread, and I thought I'd repost it and get feedback.

Check out the map! We are in the yellow! https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/HEALTHYENVIRONMENTS/DRINKINGWATER/PLANREVIEW/Documents/seismic-map.pdf

If this map is correct, for some reason Eugene is relatively safe in terms of a magnitude 9 aka "THE BIG ONE" earthquake we are all due for. Any geologists want to share info on this?

My house is post and pier built, so I was told it would "bounce" and flex in an earthquake. I did read that flat slab houses are prone to having other issues like foundational cracking.

Driving to work this morning and the cops have the entire block taped off on west 11th starting at Oak Patch to the next block going east. Anyone heard anything? Tried looking but didn't find anything as of yet.

I know there used to be clothing swaps here in Eugene but couldn’t find anything recent. I have clothes I want to take to goodwill but would much rather do a swap so all involved could avoid spending money. Any leads would be greatly appreciated 😊

Hi there!

I am looking to have a cosplay costume commissioned for this year's ren faire, and was wondering if there was anyone local who does that or would like to do it.

I am looking to cosplay as a female Volo from BG3 or Alfira from BG3.

If you don't have a local lead, but know of someone online, please comment that as well.

Has anyone seen mason jars for sale in bulk, locally? I'm looking for quart size mainly. I have tried Costco and considered ordering online but feel like buying a fragile item locally would be best.

Thanks in advance

We've switched houses this year and lost some things moving around and need to restock our reusable masks. I know Down to Earth and Market of Choice have a small selection still, but does anyone know of other locations in the area that might have some options?

Thanks!

Have you received gifts for Christmas that you don't want or need? Or perhaps like me, you're deep cleaning your house and have items you don't know what to do with. Rather than giving them to a for-profit entity like Goodwill, consider giving items directly to local non-profits and mutual aid networks where items go directly to those in need.

Here's a list I've compiled. If you have an organization to contribute to this list, please list it in the comments!

(Items should be new, or clean and in good condition- check each organization's specifications)

S.A.R.A.S Treasures is a thrift store where all of the proceeds go to providing for cats and dogs that have been removed from shelters where they would otherwise be euthanized. They accept a large variety of new and gently used tems for the store, like purses, accessories, home goods and more.
https://www.sarastreasures.org/How_To_Help/thrift_store_donations.htm

Hope and Safety Alliance (formerly known as Women's Space) provides protection, shelter and empowerment to victims of domestic abuse. They accept women's clothing, toiletries, and makeup. For youth, they also accept winter clothing, certain toys, and craft supplies are appreciated for all ages. https://www.hopesafetyalliance.org/wish-

Daisy CHAIN inclusively provides pregnancy, lactation, parenting support and doula care to anyone who needs it. They accept donations of various lactation supplies, baby needs and sanitary items.

Black Thistle Street Aid is a collective of health care workers, herbalists, outreach workers and social justice advocates who intersect with the intention of supporting the community at large by supporting our unhoused community. They need tents, tarps, hygiene and first aid supplies. (We're currently hosting a donation bin for them at Wild Rose Tattoo. https://www.blackthistlestreetaid.org/donations

The Eugene Mission, who serves our houseless neighbors directly, accepts specific food items, housewares, clothing, blankets and hygiene supplies.
https://www.eugenemission.org/donateitems

ShelterCare, who's housing programs serve those experiencing or on the verge of experiencing homelessness, accepts a wide range of items including small pieces of furniture. You can donate some adult clothing, cleaning supplies, hygiene supplies and household items.
https://sheltercare.org/give-supplies/

Community Supported Shelters does similar work and maintains an amazon wishlist for their donations. If you have some of those items, you may be able to coordinate a drop off.

Bags of Love Eugene, an organization that serves children in crisis, accepts specific children's clothing items, toys, books, school supplies, bedding, baby supplies and toiletries.
https://bagsofloveinc.org/donate/

The Arc Lane County, who serves those with intellectual and physical disabilities, accepts gently used clothes, shoes and blankets. http://arclane.org/cares/

There are even pages on Facebook that are for "no buy" exchanges, like the Lane County Mutual Aid Network - Community Message Boards
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1354709024737163

Keep the gifting season going, my friends. ❤

Edit: I meant to suggest adding in other organizations in the comments, so thanks to those that have done so.

Does anyone have experience getting into contact with local USPS locations, specifically River Rd? I need to work with them to find a missing package but work hours make it hard to get there in person and I can never get through to the phone # posted online. Any one have any other recs or do I need to take time off work to get out there??

TIA!

I’m a big person. Size 14 shoes and a size 8 hat. Do they rent stuff that big up there?

Throwing out a shot in the dark, but are there any other adult Omnipod users for their Type 1 Diabetes in Eugene? I’m looking to see if there’s a community network here like my previous group in another state.

Hello! I am struggling to find a fiction book club in the area that is still meeting. I am a 28F who is an avid reader and looking for friends who want to discuss scifi or fantasy books! Are there any ongoing book clubs in the area? Thank you in advance!

Like the title says, I'm moving to Eugene next month and would like advice on rentals/real estate agents for the area that could assist in locating a good place to live up there. Any other advice you have for the area would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!

Za Cart Pizza was burglarized over the holidays.

Anyone who knows the owner Jeff knows how selfless and kind he is to his customers, spotting em free pizza if they're short and being a pillar of the 13th ave community in general.

Unfortunately, he was taken advantage of during a vulnerable time. True to his nature, he's not even pointing fingers or blaming anyone, but it has set him back financially.

If you need a pizza this week, go buy some Za Cart and leave a nice tip if you can! I'm just a customer trying to spread the word outside of Facebook.
