Does anyone here have any connections to any writers that work on the arts and culture sections of Style Weekly, RVA Mag or something else I haven’t discovered yet?

I’ve created a new immersive creative experience here in Richmond that combines history, folklore, mad science and art making. Everyone that has participated in the experience has absolutely loved it. I’d love to get a little local press on it.

She’s healthy and clearly so loved, want to make sure we get her back home asap!

7 Muffins a Day Homophobic/Transphobic rant

Thumbnail

236 Upvotes

Dedicated GF and DF bakery in Midlo I’ve been following forever is run by a woman who seems to be having some kind of mental break honestly. She’s claiming her employees are trying to purposefully sicken her, put nails in her tires, that doctors are discriminating against her for being queer phobic, that a hotel pumped a poisonous substance into the air of her room (????) all because she has “differing views”.

She’s always been very vocal (too vocal for a professional page imo but whatever) about being anti-Trump and pro-masking so this just feels like a wild left turn.

Anyway, if anyone else liked her bakery items, maybe steer clear until she gets help or she goes out of business for alienating a bunch of people.

Moving company help!

3 Upvotes

Hello yall! I am trying to move and i have a bit of a unique situation. I am moving to a building literally a block away and have ten (10!) Funitiure items that I need to take. And one tote, though that I can get myself.

I cannot find a place that is willing to do this for me for under 600 dollars 😭.

It is so close and I have a dolly, so if i just had two extra sets of hands i could get it done on a weekend. I'm so frustrated. A team of peopme could get this done in 30 minutes. I am very pro paying laborers but i genuinely cannot fathom paying 600 dollars for under an hour of assistance.

Does anyone have advice on how to communicate with these companies/ does anyone have any moving company recxomendations?

Holly Street Playground Updates

6 Upvotes

I’ve heard rumors that this month a renovation would happen to the Holly Street Playground in Oregon Hill. does anyone know where to find updates on if it has started and when it will finish?

Haven’t found anything from local news sources. It is the closest playground to where we live, but is out of the way to get to. Hoping someone has a link to where to find updates or lives in the neighborhood and just knows what to expect.

Hi, I know of businesses that can machine sharpen my knives but I would like to spend the extra money to have someone hand sharpen my knives. I would prefer to pay someone to do it and also potentially teach me how to do it myself too. Does anyone know of anybody that can help me with that?

Anyone have experience with Bloom Health Centers? Need help/recommendations for psychiatrist. (ADHD)

7 Upvotes

Just moved to RVA from out of state. Need to get a prescription for Concerta. I went to a primary care doctor last weekend and they were no help. I have been taking medication for my ADHD for over five years and am honestly really stressed over this process and why it has to be so complicated. I am almost out of my medication and starting to break down with worry over not doing well at work because I will be unmedicated and can’t focus.

Saw that Bloom offers telehealth appointments and called them, but they seem kinda sketchy. They take my insurance (I found them through my insurance’s website) yet they made me wait on the phone and had me do all of these steps and send them photos over text that were really strange. I got an appointment scheduled, but the person who answered the phone couldn’t tell me if the PA I was scheduled to see could prescribe me a controlled substance in the state of Virginia (I don’t know the law here but I think not all of them can) (also he tried telling me that the office can prescribe substance abuse medication despite me repeatedly telling him that has nothing to do with what I’m calling about). Should I stop by their office instead? I just need reassurance that I’ll be fine.

Any advice or other recommendations? I’m close to giving up. I would prefer telehealth or something open after 5 because I absolutely cannot miss work. I just need someone who can literally just give me the medication I know I take and can provide extensive documentation for.

Please help, tysm!!!

Free Concert At Plan 9 Tonight - The Potted Plants (indie, whimsy, wit, wonder)

36 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

There's a free show happening tonight with folk-rock band The Potted Plants at Plan 9 Music from 7:00 PM to 7:30 PM.

The band's bio sums up most of what you need to know about them: The Potted Plants fuse whimsy and eccentricity. They write music that makes you think, but not too much. The kind of music that leaves you wondering “Who hurt you?” but also giggling a little like “Nice, at least you made something fun with that.”

For what else you need to know: this band is amazing. Tons of talent that make great melodies, memorable lyrics, and fun grooves. Every song is like an idiosyncratic wonderland of character with chaotic charm (charming chaos?) around every corner. Even if you can't make it out tonight, you should be listening to this band. (But you should really make it out tonight.)

This performance is part of a monthly in-store series at Plan 9 Music in Carytown curated by The Auricular. Music kicks off at 7 PM and typically wraps by 7:30 PM so it's an easy way to start your night or a fun wind down after dinner, depending on your mood. The goal of these shows is to spotlight the amazing local talent right here in our city. They started at the beginning of 2024 and have included singer-songwriters like Deau Eyes, Jonathan Paige Brown Jr., Erin Lunsford, Sravani Kameswari, and Tyler Meacham as well as bands like Rikki Rakki, Human Worm, Flora & The Fauna, Deathcat, and White Beast. Consider it an easy entry point into the local music community. A series that keeps you connected to what's happening right here in town.

Hope to see some of you there!

Fully embracing white boy whimsy. I found a crawdad yesterday in a creek after the rain, but no frogs. I’ve never caught a frog as a kid and I would like to. I would ideally like to stay near chimbo park, but willing to travel. Many thanks.

Block Ineligible for Fan Parking Permit, now what?

50 Upvotes

I'll be moving to Grace St. between Ryland and Lombardy next month and had been operating under the assumption that I would be able to purchase a Fan parking permit. However, after checking the city website today, I realized my block is excluded from eligibility.

For those who have experience living in that area as a car owner, what did you do? I believe that block isn't technically 1 hour parking, but it's typically full up so I'd likely have to park on a different block where it is restricted 1 hour parking...but I can't get a permit to park there.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Thank you for everyone's insights. I have been scared into overpaying for a parking garage.

Helpful info:

- 410 Stuart Circle Garage is still $100/month (as of 7/22/2026) which is expensive and insane, but cheaper than being towed.

- Street sweeping schedules are available on the city website, you don't have to rely only on shitty, often inadequate signage.

🐕 Dog Army Found dog North Chesterfield

Hi gang,

Found this very big and well behaved boy this morning trotting up Chevelle Drive in North Chesterfield. I put him in our fenced backyard and got him food and water.

We can't bring him inside, so I'll probably try to get him to the county animal shelter this evening. Made a post on Nextdoor and now here.

Open to ideas on what to do next. Luckily I was able to pivot and work from home today.

EDIT - The dog has been picked up by Chesterfield county animal services. He did not have a microchip. They will check their lost dog reports and hang onto him for a few days and if nobody comes forward they will work with local rescues.
