Moving to Eastville for a year and looking for recommendations

Hey everyone, I was accepted to a program in Eastville so I’ll have to move there for about a year. I’m wondering what it’s like? Crime? Any recommendations for apartment buildings?

Alternatively, I was thinking about renting in Virginia Beach and commuting but I’m not sure what that would be like, especially with the toll at the bridge.

Any suggestions? Thank you!

Anne Kress is Gutting the Nova Community College Ceramics Program in Annandale! Help Us Save Annandale Ceramics

NVCC’s thriving ceramics program is under threat, and t’s not due to lack of interest or low enrollment. In fact, ceramics is the most in-demand fine arts elective on campus, with every class at capacity and long waitlists of students who can’t get in. Despite this, NVCC President Anne Kress is pushing forward with a plan that will effectively kill the ceramics program at Annandale and it's not because it’s failing, but because she wants to build a gym in it's place.

This is part of a larger pattern. Kress has already dismantled NVCC’s sports programs, and now she’s coming for the arts. Rather than investing in what students actually want, she’s making cuts that prioritize cost-saving measures and revenue-generating event spaces over the quality of education and student experience.

She’s willing to gut a flourishing program, displace faculty, and push students aside if it means freeing up money for her own agenda. And she’s doing it quietly, banking on the fact that no one will push back. Actually no one CAN push back because we didn't know and apparently this decision will be made within a week.

This isn’t just about ceramics with Anne, it’s about who gets to decide what education looks like at NVCC. If we let this happen, what’s next? What other programs will be slashed because they don’t fit into her spreadsheet? Anne already received a vote of no confidence from her faculty and staff at Nova. Is this how she rebuilds trust?

Anne "Trunchbull" Kress works for the students not the other way around. It’s time to remind her of that. Please sign our petition to save the ceramics studio and ceramics community in Annandale.

Anyone heard of odd, or almost creepy things happening at Regent University in VA Beach?

It’s a Christian school with rumors of satanic rituals in the dorms; demons tormenting students; ghosts; pentagrams under the carpets in dorms; and spiritual warfare. I’ve had people tell me the school covers up a lot. Anyone know anything? If so please respond! I know yall are going to say it’s fake or not happening. ALSO They have been rumored to cover up a lot of illegal stuff like SA. Anyone hear about that stuff either?

Need some suggestions for Valentine's Day Weekend in the Midwestern part of the State

Hello Everyone. I am surprising my wife and daughter with a weekend out in the mid western part of the state, Lovingston, Roseland, Schuyler area; about an hour south of Charlottesville.

So far we are staying at a nice air BNB, taking a hike/walking with goats Saturday afternoon, snowtubing Saturday night at wintergreen resort. I'm looking for suggestions for some other things to do that are kid friendly in the area for Friday night and Sunday morning/afternoon.

Any suggestions?

I found a really sweet Feral Cat on my parent's property.

I found a black feral cat living on my parents property outside of town. I went and asked around and it's not owned by any neighbors. She's very sweet and seems to be in pretty good shape. The Montgomery county animal shelter said to just leave her living outside. My parents want to drop her off at a cat colony or take her to a kill shelter to get rid of her. I don't want her to be killed or abandoned, even if she is a feral cat. I'm unable to take her in myself, I adopted two last year and I would if I could afford it. I'm posting here and on the Blacksburg sub. Are there resources available to help find her a place to live? What are the laws surrounding feral cats? Thanks everyone!

Looking for an apartment in an area with soft water

Currently the family is suffering from skin issues related to living in a house with extremely hard well water. We're looking to move into a 1 bedroom apartment in any area with soft water (<70ppm), in a generally safe location within an hour of DC. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you I'm advance for your thoughts!

I moved to Richmond from___(insert city, State)______.

As someone born and raised, I’m always surprised to see so many transplants here. I remember when our tourism numbers were low and people simply wanted nothing to do with Richmond. Back when we were known as the , “murda capital.” Yeah, I’m showing my age! Lol where were you living prior to Richmond?

Recs for therapists *actually* specialized in trauma?

I would love recommendations for therapists who actually specialize in trauma - specifically cPTSD and attachment issues, but also someone with a good understanding of how ADHD plays into all this, including its impacts on therapy. I highly prefer telehealth, so they can be located anywhere as long as they are licensed in Virginia. I plan to self pay, so not worried about insurance networks. Not sure specifically what modality/ies I’m necessarily looking for; CBT and ACT have only gotten me so far in the past. I’m not permanently keeping EMDR off the table, but it’s not something I’m looking to pursue right now. I’ve heard DBT or IFS might be a better fit, but I’m open to suggestion from an actual trauma specialist.

I find it really hard to find someone on Psychology Today because I swear most clinicians on there just check off a bunch of the core boxes and call it a day even if they don’t have extensive experience with a specific concern.

Really appreciate any recs you can give. Thanks!

SOS ALERT: Tim Kaine and Mark Warner voted for new Treasury Secretary that allowed DOGE access to sensitive financial data

Right now, Elon Musk's DOGE has access to the nation's most sensitive Treasury data including Social Security and Medicare. This again is an unofficial, unvetted group of people. Hell, we don't even know if they are all US citizens. These people are operating without oversight or impunity. I can't believe more news outlets are not covering this, but please do your part. Do not let them do this quietly in the night.
