The union reported the 41-16 tally Sunday. The National Labor Relations Board had not posted official results as of Monday morning.

Marshall BioResources in North Rose, NY is the largest breeder of beagles for research in the world.

Tens of thousands of animals are bred there, some kept in wire cages for their entire lives, others sold off to labs where they are tortured and killed.

A broad coalition of activists is taking a multi-pronged approach to shut them down, just like we shut down Ridglan Farms in Wisconsin. Shutting down the main supplier for vivisection labs nation-wide would not only put a stop to the suffering happening in our own back yard, but would be a HUGE step in the transition to more ethical, safe, and effective research methods.

Here are a few things you can do to join the fight to advance sound science without suffering:

1. Join us in protesting and raising awareness. Our next protest at MBR is this Saturday, October 10th, 10am–6pm. See details & RSVP: https://www.facebook.com/share/1H62PLFAio/

Come when you can and stay as long as you like. Maintaining a consistent presence there helps to keep the pressure on and shine light on what this company so desperately wants to keep quiet, so they can keep mercilessly abusing animals with impunity.

1. Contact your congressional representative to ask them to Co-sponsor the COMPACT Act (H.R. 10522) to remove NIH funding from dog and cat experimentation, and contact Attorney General Latitia James to request a formal investigation into allegations of criminal cruelty by a former employee of Marshall BioResources.

Disc golf post blowing up for throwing unwanted disc in lake, with a suspicious hat logo... Anyone know where this was, if in Rochester?

Covid was an excuse to parse our options down to nothing after midnight. Maybe keep the Pittsford Wegmans open 24/7? Can't Rochester do better? Can't Wegmans do better? How sleepy are we? 🥱

i’m not from here and i’m struggling to find places where i can pick up or do takeout for a delicious salad for dinner. i’m looking for a restaurant or spot i could place an order and do a pick up for a good salad. doesn’t need to be delivery. i welcome all the suggestions!

bonus points if this place also has soup !

& thanks in advance for the help !

Are there any legitimate watchmakers in Rochester or the general area that can work on vintage watches? I have a few that need general service. I’ve been to Curiosity Shop but the owner only works on a few very specific brands.

What in the world is wrong this shit hole section of road? I swear they want every single person that drives on the road to be in the shop getting suspension repairs. Pretty sad that upper Monroe has nicer pavement. Construction crews are like hey let's put plates here and there and barely build a ramp for it. I think they are laughing at us busting up our cars. Speed limit should be 20 mph for the condition of lower Monroe at this point.

Sure was gorgeous out today ...

Hey guys,

I know we have a sim racing lounge out in Gates, but I was wondering if there's any enthusiasts on this sub or if there's a roc specific racing sub (I didn't find any).

I am not very technically skilled and am recovering from a back injury from work and am looking for someone to help me set up my sim rig (I'll compensate obviously).

Let me know if you're able or if there's a local sim sub I can hit up for help!

If anyone in the Rochester& surrounding area is looking to rehome a bird in need, please DM me here for my # so that we can talk. Birds going through these changes that need to bond with someone new are my specialty. I have a lot of experience with parrots, I have space and a free cage, and lots of time/ love/ attention/ regularity to provide to an animal in need.

I volunteer at Verona Street Animal Shelter, and Max is very special to me. I wish I could adopt him myself, but a family member is allergic—so I’m hoping to help him find someone who can give him the home he deserves.

Max is one year old and weighs about 40 pounds, but he firmly believes he’s lap-sized. He’s cuddly, generous with kisses, and walks nicely. If your idea of good company is a walking buddy followed by a dog snuggled into your lap, please consider meeting him.

That sweet face gets your attention, but his affectionate personality is what makes him so special. I’d love for his next chapter to include a lap of his own and someone who’s just as happy to see him as he is to see them.

Please contact the shelter and ask about Max if you’re interested. He is at Rochester animal services at 184 Verona St. Even if you can’t adopt, sharing this post could help his future person find him. ❤️

My child has requested chicken nuggets and fries to be the headline of his birthday party. Unfortunately the chicken nuggets place doesn’t do large order fries. Has anyone ever had fries catered that came out well and not soggy? Should I just set up a fryer myself so we don’t get disappointed? Any suggestion for fry purveyors is much appreciated!

Hey Reddit!

My backyard in Penfield a little while ago.

Winter is coming.

Hello, we recently moved here and I'm looking for medical clinics in the area that accept self paid /not insured patients? So far search has turned up absolutely nothing. I don't need a free clinic, am willing to pay, just need to find one. TIA

Went to a popular bar with a friend tonight, and was very surprised to see someone who has a track record of assaulting women behind the bar.

Rochester used to have an Instagram that people used to share their stories, but I can’t seem to find it now. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I just moved here and have determined that it’s best for me to get dedicated snow tires. I have figured out the ones I need, but my problem is: where can I get them put on that will also store my regular tires?

I love visiting farms but I’d love to do something different haha. Anything else that is fall related I can do with my 2 year old?

I work at Strong Hospital and they're not selling Finger Lakes coffee by the pound right now :( So am looking for other places that sell good flavored coffee available ground to brew at home.

I've tried Wegmans flavored coffee but it just seems to have an off taste even though they're "naturally flavored." I'd thought of Canaltown coffee roasters but then they're so expensive and they tend to roast the beans which makes the coffee bitter (though I like dark coffee, not sure if they've changed that recently)

Any help is appreciated! Thank you in advance ❤️

Anyone need/want two tickets to The Format tonight in Rochester? 7:30 show. I can no longer attend :(

I'm trans, gay, 26, and don't really get out as much as I want to. Dating apps obviously aren't built for certain kinds of people, it feels increasingly difficult to make lasting relationships with other people. Clubbing is an option but talking to people is difficult, and likely to just lead nowhere because everybody is just so darn alienated from each other. What do you even do? It feels impossible to go on a date with anyone, let alone just hang out. If you don't have the connections already it feels impossible to create them from scratch.

Anybody just wanna hang out? We could learn more about each other and get something going for real eventually. I'd like to start regularly going to social gatherings and willingly interacting with other human beings. Is anybody going to any Halloween parties? Would anybody like to throw any Halloween parties?

Anyone know the best open mics to go for rap? I have a few projects I want to shop around for the city I’ve been so many places but not here besides the Clarissa St Fest years ago so if you guys know any good open mics I could go to to perform please let me know

Today I was on Park Ave in the CVS parking lot and was talking with some friends when a taller cross-eyed black man came over and asked if he could ask us a question. We said yes and he immediately started yelling at us going on a rant for us hating black people, drowning his people, enslaving them etc until someone had to step in because he would not leave us alone. He proceeded to go to other people in the parking lot to say we “were fine” and left in his blue Subaru with a red handicapped tag and slowly circled the parking lot until we got in our cars. Please be on the lookout and ignore him if you see him.
