So sorry I won't be able to make this, it's very much up my alley. I will make it to a meetup one day!

Hard to say, but @archaeocore.bsky.social is right. The fact that they are cracking this open is danger zone. It's part of a larger attempt to dismantle the broader regulatory infrastructure.

Yes, his answers were very good. Happy to answer any questions based on my general knowledge and ✨ not on behalf of my employer ✨

What could go wrong is this: if the NHPA and Section 106 were to be dismantled, we risk losing irreplaceable fabric of our communities. These laws already don't have the power to *stop* development, they just require consideration of effects and mitigation if something does get destroyed.

All I've got on hand is this squid, actually.

Me, in an inflatable squid. Giant. Orange.

Finding Francine: How Lowe’s brought a beloved cat home to Richmond

corporate.lowes.com

Jolene Smith @aejolene.bsky.social · Oct 5

Hope seems hard to come by, but Francine the Lowe's cat has been spotted alive in North Carolina. When I tell you how much I'm clinging to this, whew.

A calico cat curled up in an egg chair with orange cushions on the Lowe's outdoor furniture showroom floor. This is Francine.

UPDATE

Lowe's Corporate expressed their deep concern and commitment to finding Francine and bringing her home safely to Richmond, stating Francine is "In the top of our minds" and that "We don't have plans to stop (looking for her) anytime (soon)".

We were told that so far on top of the efforts made by the local animal control officer, Lowe's has deployed thermal drones in an attempt to find Francine, and installed two video cameras with thermal alerts to keep an eye out for her. Four more of these cameras are being set up on site today/tomorrow.

On Wednesday, 10/8, a nationally recognized animal tracker will arrive to the RDC in hopes of locating Francine.

There's a beloved local celebrity cat that lives in our Richmond, VA Lowe's. She apparently got on a truck to NC last week and there is a multi state search underway involving local govts, social media influencers, drones, the governor's office, and GWAR. 🤞🤞https://www.reddit.com/r/rva/s/Vj9SHShwSu

Bottled citrus juice is totally useable now.

Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling.

I’ll start: you can buy an enormous TV from Costco for like $100 bucks now.

I actually did get all the way through and successfully booked in Richmond. Thanks for smoking all those cigarettes, past me!

Jolene Smith @aejolene.bsky.social · Sep 4

Cool cool cool

It appears that one can book at CVS in VA with an on-screen acknowledgement of eligibility and no Rx. I haven't gone all the way to the final confirmation, though.
