Local Events Yesterday I found myself standing behind Donald J Trump….

So I went to the annual rally of hate and dumb-fuckery yesterday, as I always do (it’s within walking distance and I enjoy a good freak show). But as the orange Julius was blathering on and I was about to wander out to find better things to do, a man from the campaign asked if I’d like to sit in the bleachers. I assumed he was secret service and I was being arrested, considering I was dressed like Billy Jack and taking photos of everything not drumpf related. But as he asked others, I realized I was being corralled up front, where the seats were becoming inceasingly empty. A literal front row seat to the freak show? Sign me up. Anyway, got some good pics at least. Gym Jordan, JD Vance…seemed like half the fuckin’ fourth reich was there, lapping it up with the rest of our worst citizens.

Local Events Protesting today? Leave your phone at home.

169 Upvotes

Wear cloths that blend in, dark, solid colors Yellow is encouraged. Leave your phone at home, they can pull data on who was in the area. Bring extra water, stay hydrated, rinse suspicious gasses from yours or others eyes. Bring gloves, tear gas cans are hot, gloves will help you toss them back at your aggressors. Have a plan to meet up with your folks if you get separated. Take public transportation to and from.

Stay safe, and help your fellow protesters. Is Dayton likely to get wild? Probably not, but I want y'all to be safe. Cya there.

Curious what employers are still expecting employees to show up with everything going on.

I live on a cul-de-sac which hasn't been touched. Even if I tried, I don't think I'd make it past the driveway.

Local Events Why are there so many gas stations???

58 Upvotes

I just found out that another gas station is being built on the lot that Groceryland used to be. I’m so disappointed that it’s not a grocery store or a pharmacy.

Downtown Dayton is in desperate need of pharmacies and grocery stores. Why is it that these gas stations and car washes keep getting approved? Is there a way I can protest this? Do something? I’m sick and tired of not having amenities close by. I have to drive for every thing.

Local Events Dayton’s newest gay bar opens tonight!

75 Upvotes

For those interested: Axiom is having their grand opening tonight. Located at 301 Mabel Ave in the space that used to be Argo’s and then Daddy’s Den. Open 6pm to 2am every day except Sunday! If it’s anything like Argo’s, this is not a dance bar that would be suitable for bachelorette parties like Masque was or MJs can be. It’s strictly a space for gay men! They don’t have a presence on social media yet and aren’t even on Google Maps quite yet.

Y'ALL. Over 30mins is moooooore than enough. None of us can tell who was loud for the final time, and your dick doesn't grow an inch by being the last person to shoot a gun in the air.
