I host monthly events for queer women in santa barbara! most events are completely free and I try my best to make sure I have a variety so everyone has at least one event that might be of interest to them :) please feel free to follow us on ig <3

(if you don’t know what sapphic means it’s just an umbrella term for all different kinds of queer women)

Currently a petitioner outside of Whole Foods asking for signatures to be able to vote against rent control. While I don’t have an issue with someone trying to get this on the ballot, his methods are very scummy. He’s saying “hey we’re collecting signatures on rent stabilization”. He gives zero context and just hands the paper over to sign. I asked him “hey what is this about?” And he handed me the paper and said “rent stabilization”. I told him “oh so you are going to hand me this with just those words when in reality you are looking to revoke rent stabilization correct?” He then apologized and tried to claim that he just has brain fog, but then proceeded to do the same exact thing with a pregnant lady not 10 seconds after while I was talking to him. She willingly signed, but then I explained to her what it was she was signing, and proceeded to ask the guy to scratch her signature the fuck off. So let’s get this straight, pregnant lady who is struggling with bills already, and wants lower rent, is completely duped into signing something against her own interest. Not cool man!

Not a two lane turn buddy…

I received two emails from [californiacurrent@substack.com](mailto:californiacurrent@substack.com) "welcoming" me to their substack which I definitely didn't subscribe to (twice within the same minute, mind you). The listed address in the email is:

836 Anacapa Street, Suite 895, Santa Barbara CA 93102

I use email aliases, so the email came to "<myemail>+dmv@gmail.com" meaning they harvested it from the DMV site somehow. How's that possible? It also violates substack's publisher policies, so I'll be forwarding to them as well.

super annoying

Hi looking for ideas/recommendations for places within driving distance of SB for a long weekend trip that doesn’t break the bank.

Have a few days off for Thanksgiving and looking to get out of the house and explore without spending a crapton of money, but new to the area and not sure where to go/what to do.

Hi everyone. I just want a bit explanation on sbcc adn i been recently accepted and want to figure out my work schedule with school. I’m going part time but looking at the class schedule is confusing for me
So far i understand its 2 days a week in person and 1-2 days of clinicals a week
Where i wanted to get calcification is. Do we have a short day lecture Where i may be able to go to work after class on the short day? Also. Where does lab take place. Is lab during your lecture days or is that another day added to your week on top of your lecture and clinicals.

Also how and when do you get your clinical schedule and how far in advance do they give you. So i can schedule work
