  1. Local folks: What are mosquitoes looking like for you so far this year? I put our mosquito trap buckets out maybe 6 weeks ago. It's also been really dry. I killed a mosquito on myself today for the first time — inside, oddly. Anyway, I don't really remember when the mosquitoes start up anymore. Have any of you noticed mosquitoes yet? Have you noticed a lot, a few, or is it just average so far? 🦟 #DurhamNC #RTP #mosquitoes

  6. ISTG, there's a helicopter hovering *right over* my house. The trees at a distance look still, but I can feel the downdraft, & branches in my yard are swaying around. It's noisy AF. I guess it's moving off now, but I can still hear it, so it can't be *too* far off. #DurhamNC #downtown #LittleFivePoints

  8. CW: Plug: Queer-, trans-, kink-, poly-friendly therapist in NC, US (occasional boost)

    (boosts welcome)

    TL;DR: My wife is a queer-/kink-/poly-friendly licensed therapist focusing on sex, religious trauma, and transgender care in North Carolina and is accepting new clients.

    Jalan practices mental health counseling in Durham--and soon, Charlotte--North Carolina, and telehealth throughout the state.

    Her primary focus is sex therapy, and she also works with general mental health concerns (including being trained in EMDR) and a second emphasis in religious trauma. She also has training, though not the specialist certificate, in addictions. She is especially open to queer, kinky, and poly clients (being all of those herself), and is a certified Transgender Care Therapist.

    She is not in insurance networks, but will help with out-of-network filing and has limited sliding-scale slots.

    I'm happy to put anyone in touch.

  9. This was shared with my craft group. I just double-checked the date on Reddit, and it dates from March 20, 2025.

    I hope we can find the knitter! Please boost.

  10. Airbnb is stupid & wrong.

    I hope & imagine the owner of the house legally has right of reentry. If she does, I'd go to the house again with a locksmith & a cop, change the locks, & again tell the Airbnb-ers to GTFO.

  11. I was glad to see this *Indy* article digging into the mess of #DurhamNC politics, but the author spends a LOT of time spreading rumors and quoting people on topics they are not trustworthy about. It reinforces the 'progressive white folks versus older Black folks' trope, and is not that helpful in shining actual sunlight on things. But I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

  12. Gaiwan has a few sponsor tickets left for the Clojure/conj which we're not using. Anyone here interested in going? It's soon and you'd have to cover your own travel and accommodation.

  13. I've been trying to clean up my office and found this ticket from seeing James Brown at the old Durham ball park in 1996.

    Tragically, this has justified decades of hoarding. I'll never be able to throw anything away now!
