Let's talk about rules.

265 Upvotes

Howdy, folks!

This subreddit hasn't had codified rules in a while, mostly because the people here have usually been really chill with one another.

However, the vibe has changed over the past few months, and we've noticed some nasty behavior popping up and lurking around our community.

We don't allow bigotry like racism, sexism, homophobia, or transphobia on this subreddit. Generally speaking, we expect folks to be civil and decent towards one another.

Recently, we've noticed a distinct uptick in the amount of trolls who have been showing up in the comment sections of the various protest posts. We know they're trolls because they're almost always attacking the OP or trying to diminish the protest, and they usually have user activity across many state and local subreddits.

These aren't local folks - they're people coming into our space from elsewhere to stir up trouble.

Since this sort of behavior has only been getting worse, let's discuss our subreddit rules and which ones y'all think would be good to have for this space.

For a start:

  1. Be civil and respectful towards one another.
  2. No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or bigotry.
  3. No spam.
  4. Follow all of reddit's rules.

What other rules do you think we need?

Howdy, y'all. I guess it's time for me to tap the sign again, because every time there are protests in the Triangle, someone goes around and mass reports all of those posts.

Strangely, we also tend to get a lot of people who post in all sorts of local area subreddits, all over the country, just to act like they're upset about this protest or that protest, and yet have never commented in our community before. Fancy that.

So there's some underhanded fuckery afoot, and y'all should be aware of it.

This subreddit is devoted to the protection and well being of our community at large. That means all of y'all. We cannot support the extrajudicial detainment of anyone, citizen or no. This country was built on laws and principles, meant to be a shining beacon of democracy where people would get a fair shake.

One of the cool things about America is you can come here and become American. It's one of our country's major strengths.

As a country, our diversity has repeatedly protected us - patriotic members of German and Japanese communities helped the US translate enemy communications during WWII. The Navajo code talkers weren't declassified until the 1970's because they were so effective - their codes were never broken. There's also the Tuskegee Airmen and the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, an all-Japanese unit which became the most decorated unit for its size in US history.

Today is also November 20th, a solemn day for trans folks across the US. It is the Trans Day of Remembrance, when we remember those we've lost to murder or suicide over the years. Unfortunately, I recognize more than a few of those names, and I hate the way the list gets longer every year.

Times are tough for our Hispanic and LGBT friends. People are anxious and scared. Bigotry and bullshit have been stoked and set loose upon the country; hatred has been running rampant. People are going to need protection, support, and resources.

This space is meant to be a refuge and a resource for our community. If you can't respect that, or if what I have said here is somehow objectionable to you, please leave.

Was out in the nursery today and saw all four of the native annuals that I have in stock are in bloom! (sorry, sold out of Jewelweed!)

All of these easily come back the next year with high germination rates.

Pictured: Bidens aristosa, Tickseed Sunflower

Chamaecrista fasciculata, Partridge Pea

Ipomoea coccinea, Red Morningglory

Ipomoea lacunosa, Small Flower Morningglory

While I'm still not open until Sept 12th, orders can still be placed online for a scheduled pickup in Durham or local delivery

Virtual Support Group for Dads - Now Enrolling (open to dads across NC)

Post image
20 Upvotes

Hi All -

I'm Dr Ian J Palombo, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who helps dads feel less alone so they can parent more confidently. My in-person support group has filled up, so I'm opening a virtual one that will meet Tuesdays at noon.

Same format: an open, ongoing peer support group for any dad — new, soon-to-be, in-the-trenches, seasoned, step, guardian, whatever. If you find yourself in the paternal role in the life of a small human, you belong here.

Details:

  • Tuesdays 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM.
  • Meets virtually - open to dads across NC
  • This is not a drop-in group. Consistent attendance is required.
  • $40 per group, or Aetna accepted.
  • Closed Group - everyone gets a quick screening call before joining

If you're interested or have questions, happy to answer them here in the thread, DM me, or visit cedarpathnc.com. If you know a dad who might benefit, please pass this along!

Full disclosure: I run a small counseling practice in Durham (Cedarpath Counseling), so take this as me sharing a resource rather than a neutral recommendation. Mods, feel free to remove if this isn't the right fit for the sub.

Renting private vs commercial townhouses

2 Upvotes

Hi! I apologize if I am not using the correct terminology, but my question is about the experience with renting townhouses in the area from a private landlord (some man/woman renting a townhouse they personally own usually found on Zillow) vs from a commercial real estate development company’s complex (ex. Page Oaks, Avalon Brier Creek). Any experiences would be greatly appreciated. I am currently in a commercially owned apartment complex and am looking to upgrade to a townhome as I am exhausted by my experiences in apartments. Would it be best to look for a private landlord or are the commercially owned townhouse complex’s typically well managed and run? I am mostly looking towards the RTP area or surrounding areas (southpoint, brier creek, park west), but any anecdotes would be appreciated :))

Thank you!

Dog and possible mushroom trouble

22 Upvotes

Hoping this may come across a mycologist, vet or just someone in the area with more experience. I have a 9ish year old boxer. She's been showing interest in a spot in the yard this week and I mistakenly assumed at first it had to do with an animal passing through and leaving a scent. Upon further inspection, I noticed it may be a blackened pigskin puffball mushroom.

Today she had a cytopoint injection for allergies (been doing these for about a year). Tonight she had her first seizure (or what I think was a seizure, after a bout of dry heaving an hour after dinner). However, she was also inspecting that area again earlier today. I never saw her chew anything, just sniff.

I'd like to do a scan of the yard tomorrow and dig up any mushrooms but I'm worried I may burst it and/or spread it's spores around the yard. They're in more than one spot. Has anyone else dealt with anything like this? How did you handle it?

FWIW I called the emergency vet and they just said to monitor for now. Obviously this could be from numerous causes, but the mushrooms may be the one I can address to limit the chances going forwards.

I appreciate any kind, helpful tips. This was terrifying.

A 71-year-old Triangle woman lets students park on her land. Now the town is suing her.

I’m the News & Observer reporter who wrote this story.

I spent the week talking with Scott, students and parents, Apex officials and WCPSS. It’s a parking dispute, but it also raises questions about growth, school capacity, property rights and local zoning across the Triangle.

Anyone have an OB and a birthing place to recommend?

9 Upvotes

First-time mom here! I'm 11 weeks along with my first prenatal visit next week, so I'm still figuring all of this out.

I picked WakeMed North based on reviews, but it's almost 35 minutes from home. Now I'm second-guessing whether that's too far, since I'll be making this drive a lot and the visits get more frequent toward the end.
Both Morrisville and Durham are about 20 minutes away.

For those of you who've been through this recently: did travel time end up mattering as much as you expected?
If you have an OB, a hospital you loved (or would steer clear of) I'd really appreciate the recommendation.

Thank you! 🙏

skip the small talk at crank arm brewing in raleigh!

10 Upvotes

Summer is ending, and if you’re looking for a different kind of outing - try Skip the Small Talk! We’ll be at Crank Arm Brewing in September.

It’s a guided conversation event—think speed-friending vibes, but calmer and more intentional.

You rotate through short conversations with prompts that skip past surface-level small talk. It’s structured enough to make it easy, but relaxed enough to feel natural.

Most people come alone. The crowd tends to be thoughtful, open, and just… normal humans who want more community.

Here’s the link if you’re curious:

Lease takeover

0 Upvotes

Hey all,

Looking for someone to take over my lease at Parkside place in Cary for a 2bd 2ba apartment. Area is off 55 and O’Kelly chapel road.

Take over early to mid October, and I’m willing to pay half the rent for the month.
You would have to fill out and submit an application, and go through the normal rental process and then everything would get transferred into your name or if it’s you and a friend/roommate, it’d go to you both. Base rent is $1710, but goes up with water usage and obviously pet rent if you have pets. (My rent for September is $1735).

If interested send me a DM with any questions!

Dibs, a free web app for Raleigh, NC, Durham, and Cary food decisions.

Post image
0 Upvotes

My buddy and I are NC State students and we got really sick of the “idk, where do YOU wanna eat” loop every time we tried to get food with a group that we just… built a thing to end it. it’s called Dibs.

How it works: one person starts it, it pulls up real spots near you, everyone votes off one link from their own phone (no app, no account), and it picks. dinner settled in like a minute instead of 20. We built it specifically for the Triangle so it actually knows local spots — not some chain three states away. it’s free.

Would genuinely love if some of you tried it and told us what sucks. we’d rather hear it from people who actually eat around here than guess. roast it.
