Kymberlee ruff mft has filed multiple false police reports, scammed clients for years while playing victim, violated confidentiality without remorse, and manipulated people into harming innocent peoples livelihoods. Avoid therapists who are crazier and more psychopathic than u could ever try to be. Please be careful w who u trust w ur mental health. She is a very sick person who is very good at acting otherwise.

That's it, that's the post.

A little something I get to see while walking my dog every day, I love it here.

Are there any that are def no?

If you don’t ask and all that.

Hi lovely people of Santa Barbara! This is my new cover band & we’re trying to get some local support for our first local show together- would love to see you there! ☺️ Playing a super fun set and it’s FREE + all ages!

(Also, zero AI was involved in the making of this poster hehe)

Hope everyone has a wonderful Halloween week!

Looking for a Progressive cheat sheet for the upcoming vote on all the bills, measures and politicians. I’m not left-wing. I’m not right wing. I am for whatever is good for the people and the planet. I try to avoid any politicians who say one thing and do another like take money from a AIPAC and vote for wars or genocide support. Let’s discuss.

Hi guys first post here! I’ve been a local my whole life but somehow I don’t know if we have an haunted houses in SB. If you guys know any places that do fun things for Halloween I would love to know and go with my little sister, thanks! :)

Looking for recommendations for Halloween
weekend! 👻

Interested in everything from costume and house parties to live music, bands, and fun Halloween events around town. I’ve been to some of the parties at Buena Onda and Lodo Studios in the past and had a great time, so looking for similar vibes or anything new worth checking out.

Open to all ideas, parties, live music, DJ sets, themed events, or hidden gems I might not know about.

What’s everyone planning for Halloween this year? Drop your recommendations & events below! 🕸️

Most of the other bikes would probably fail the State's new e-bike regulations. Officer said to say that, "We are here on State." The biker's buddies could not resist fooling around while the tow truck arrived. Expect more of the same police action in the future...

Solo Traveller here. I’m in the United States for the first time and will be in Santa Barbara around Halloween - I’m looking for activities to party and meet other people.
So I stumbled across the Pub Crawls but cannot decide if it is a fit for me.
One is called “Zombie Crawl” by EOS, the other one just “Halloween Bar Crawl”.
Has anyone experience with the organizers or has even participated once?
Also, maybe someone would be open to join in, or maybe you are going as well.
Feel free to share your input :)

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a hair stylist who specializes in highlights/bold colors (red or pink).

Looking to do something different with my hair but my current stylist mainly focuses on low-maintenance so I was hoping to get some good suggestions. Thanks!

Any Karan Aujla fans in Santa Barbara/Goleta? Looking for people who love Punjabi music and would be down for concerts, drives, or Punjabi music nights!

I was walking on Obern Trail and while approaching the bridge that connects to Patterson/Shoreline, I heard a deep, guttural growl coming from nearby. I couldn't see what was making the sound and while I stood there frozen, I heard it again and this time it was longer and deeper., It was unsettling enough that I rushed to the bridge and get on to Patterson Ave.

I'm wondering whether it could have been a mountain lion, bobcat, or something else. Also wanted to give others a heads-up.

Is there anywhere to camp near the Gaviota Wind Caves and hot spring this time of year? My kid and I like to backpack and tent camp.

I do see the state park is closed for camping this season, and I understand that there is no backcountry camping allowed in the state park. I don't see any registered sites in Los Padres in that area, but maybe there are unofficial sites.

Thanks!

"The groups want to put the rent control decision in the voters’ hands by repealing the City Council’s recent approval of a rent stabilization ordinance."

These signature gathers talking about rent control are hired by pro-landlord groups trying to stop the ordinance that already passed.

does anyone know the hours? is it open in the

evening this week or only next weekend?

Hi everyone,

I'm visiting Santa Barbara with my parents next weekend (in their 60s). I know there are tons of bars/wineries/breweries in the area. Are there any places that have non-alchoholic beers or wines? I've noticed most breweries around me keep an N/A beer in stock so I'm hoping SB will have a few places as well.
I'd also love to hear what other recommendations you have for must-dos while we're in town!

Appreciate the help!
Thanks!

Thank you to everyone who organized and sponsored this event. It was my second year going and I appreciate the amazing vibes, good art, and community feeling. I enjoyed the conversations I had with artists and having a chance to purchase art that is accessible at all price points. Warmed my heart to see so many people attending. Such a happy Santa Barbara day.

Looking to find a spot that shows F1 now that it is no longer aired on cable so me and some friends can meet up to watch the US Grand Prix. Anyone know of a spot? I got the F1 subscription just not a good place to host.

E-bike stolen in front of CVS at turnpike/hollister.

Sadly I failed to lock it but disabled the battery. They must have moved quick as I was inside for about 3-4 minutes. They pushed it to the back and must have loaded it into a truck or disappeared in the neighborhood. I found my helmet and a few contents behind the businesses.

In case anyone sees this pop up for sale I’m posting a picture - it was a heavily modified rad power bike and wish the new owners good luck with it 🤷🏼‍♂️

Typically I always lock it but here we are.

Let my lapse of judgement be your lesson

The nurses at Cottage health Systems 2 out 3 hospitals held a press conference in front of Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital on October 23, 2026. The purpose of the press conference was to bring awareness to the community about the reasons the nurses need to be unionized. As expected, hospital administrators have denied any and all the nurses complaints. After all, image is first and foremost with this institution! Proof of just how out of touch these administrators are can be proven by the comments made in today's Santa Barbara Newspress. I was astonished when I read Cara Williams,VP of HR, reply to nurses and the need for union representation. This is what she said: Our position is that we don’t believe we need a union or a third party to be the intermediary,” said Cara Williams, Cottage vice president of human resources and chief human resources officer. “We enjoy a direct connection to our employees, and we want to maintain that. “Having a union is not going to change how much it costs to live in Santa Barbara and the cost of housing,” Williams said. I have a few questions for Cara Williams: 1)Did you really accuse nurses of being naive enough to think that having a union is going to change the cost of homes in Santa Barbara? 2) Are you truly listening to the nurses complaints about their workplace issues because based on that ignorant comment, I highly doubt it? 3) In a previous video, you claimed that at Cottage Hospital, we are a family. Wouldn't you say, your family is dysfunctional if they have to go outside the family unit to be heard and have their needs met? Ms. Williams, I rate you as a neglectful mother to all your nurse children. Therefore, you have list custody of them. Shame on you, Laura Canfield and the rest of the deplorable C-Suite!
