Birth Centers

Iso recommendations for providers, and birth centers! Preferably a natural minded provider. A birth room with a tub would be amazing. The option for pain relief would be great as well, maybe not an epidural but the gas?

Just looking for ideas! Doesn’t have to fit this criteria perfectly.

Do you guys think the Gem Show in February 2025 will be a success or a repeat of last year's disappointment?

Natural Grocers Closing Union Store

NG announced today they will close their Broadway and kolb location. This was the first location in Tucson and is the highest grossing. In June the employees petitioned to recognized as a union. Over the following week the majority of union supporting employees were laid off. Per NLRB regulations all of those employees can still vote (they did), and when tallying in the votes of everyone fired, a supermajority voted yes on unionizing. That case is expected to be heard by the NLRB any day now. Directly on the heels of that, and some international coverage of NG stores unionizing, they announced this closure.

This was a tactic Starbucks used as well. Eventually the courts ruled that not only must Starbucks pay the employees from the time of dismissal onward, but they must reopen the store and offer those employees their jobs back.

(In case anyway is not aware, it is federally illegal to union bust and engage is such behavior)

Haircut for Shy 8-Year-Old

Looking for an Eastside-ish barbershop/hair stylist for a shy yet silly 8-year-old boy. We're trying to avoid the Great Clips and Supercuts. We prefer progressive, open-minded business owners and though we're looking for something east/near-east, we're willing to travel a lil bit.

Thank you, in advance!

I have a 3D printer to donate to a local charity or school

I have an older 3D printer that I no longer use. I don’t want any money for it but would like to see it go to good use. I have the printer, original packaging, 10-12 rolls of filament, and replacement parts and upgraded components. At the time of purchase it was one of the top of the line models by a highly regarded reputable company.

Does anyone know of a local charity or a school that could put it to good use? If I can get a donation slip for tax purposes out of it I’d be happy!

Can anyone recommend a mobile massage service? Specifically for deep tissue massage, thank you so much in advance!

Edit: Please don’t message offering me a massage if you’re not licensed or your profile is blank, or to try to hook up with me, I need a professional massage, not some random dude offering to “help”. Thanks so much.

Piercing Jewelry?

Looking to update my hardware in my helix holes (sometimes orbital, sometimes separate). I got my last pieces at STTP but I’ve read some interesting stories since I was last there and am looking for different options. I’m not looking for anything fancy but good quality.

TIA!

Tamales??

Hello to my new Tucson friends, I just moved down to Tucson from the Pacific Northwest and I am hearing rumors about Tucsons legendary Tamales.. How might a single guy acquire said Tamales or better yet find someone who can teach him how to make these delicious holiday treats?

P.S Please forgive me for being needy and greedy but I could also use a good coffee shop recommendation…

Roof rat induced insomnia…

I have an infestation in my attic, and I suspect it’s a fairly large one because I live in a neighborhood that’s infested with them.

I had Truly Nolen come a couple days ago. They never went into my attic, just peeked in. Last week, I paid them a large sum of money for traps (currently only on the ground, and a couple going in the attic tomorrow), plus a monthly rodent service, so it’s probably too late to be asking this question, but:

Has anyone had success with Truly Nolen getting roof rats out of their attic? These assholes are seriously disturbing my sleep (the rats, not Truly Nolen).

ETA: I was also told it’s impossible to keep them out of my attic with a Spanish tile roof. So that’s my other question: is there a way to, at the very least, lower the likelihood they can get in?
