Thankfully, this isn't something we have many of, but seriously fuck this guy.

The less traffic he gets, the better.

What do you think?

Didn’t find any posts about this, apologies if it has already been discussed. I’m just at a loss for words and so, so sad.

Route 54 and Route 301 are both at a near standstill due to the amount of people around Hanover Courthouse showing up to and/or protesting at the board meeting discussing the proposed ICE detention center. I can even see a helicopter circling the area. Wow

I was at Lowe’s last night and talking to an employee and she told me Francine hasn’t been seen since last week but they’re trying to keep it quiet.

We went to Lowe’s today and asked more employees what happened and they said the last time anyone saw her was 9/18 and they think someone took her or she ran away.

They put up her food bowl (to prevent the mice Francine hunted from having a food source, they said).

This is the biggest emergency in Richmond since the water system failure last winter.

Let’s find out girl yall.

UPDATE on #TaskForceFrancine from Richmond SPCA

We've gotten news that has us feeling the most optimistic we've been since we first learned Francine is missing. Lowe's says there has been a sighting at their Garysburg, NC distribution center on October 4, and they have confirmed it is Francine! A small team from the Broad Street Lowe's in Richmond, including the store manager, headed to the NC distribution center this morning. These are folks whose voices are familiar to RVA's beloved calico, and they'll be calling for her and shaking her food dish to entice her out of hiding.

Check the comments for more background on this story, and be sure to follow Where's Francine on Instagram for updates.

Well, I remember going to a RVA meetup last year and having talked to a bunch of great redditors in this city. I had talked of going to Syria and joining the Kurdish rebels to fight back against the Islamic state. And I did, regardless of the harsh criticism and being told I was stupid by other redditors. I'm not sure if anyone actually remembers, or even cares, but if anyone does I just want to say I did the damn thing and I did it well.

Update 7-28-16: I am getting frustrated with answering certain questions. So if you have asked a question and find that it has been ignored it is for one of two reasons. A.) That I have already answered the same question asked by someone else. or B.) The question is inappropriate, makes me uncomfortable, or is clearly a troll question.

Update 7-29-16: If you're serious about joining search "The Lions of Rojava", and go from there. Out of respect for my contact persons and the Lions of Rojava, I will not provide their information or give in depth instructions on the process.

I am blown away by this. The official government Instagram account just posted multiple slides in support of LGBTQ+ folks. I am SO proud to live in a city that isn’t just rolling over for fascism. Thank you, Richmond.
