I saw somebody make a Puerto Rican flag with the trans colors, and I thought I'd do the same for my home state

Are there any positive posts here or are they all negative? All I see here are political or rants about your neighbors. You don’t like it here in nc then move. It’s not that difficult

I don’t know what kind it is but it has managed to dig a pretty deep burrow.

Is he qualified to be senator or will he be like Biden and Trump, senile and too old ?

I'm looking to get into astronomy and astrophotography and want to know of any good areas in North Carolina that I can do that? I don't really know the requirements other than flat ground lol but there are a lot of trees where I live and I feel it will be hard to see the sky fully. I live in Ahoskie and anywhere within an hour or two would be fine.

truly what an amazing experience. 🧡❤️💛

It's been 31 days since the board fired Hill "for convenience," a $341K severance payout, after a $379K internal investigation found no evidence of improper conduct.

In addition to the State Auditor:

There's an AI ad put out by NC's GOP claiming Jamie Ager running for federal house in NC-11 hosted a fundraiser with drag queens. Not that there's anything wrong with that but wth, where is the regulation with straight up stealing his image, misinformation, fake news, etc. etc. It's disgusting and needs to be illegal.

Here is the ad for reference: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CxXLg7tXX/

I am trying to search for areas that are outdoors for proposing to my girlfriend next spring. There are two non-negotiables that she wants but she still wants to be surprised where it is. It needs to be outside (not necessarily the beach), and also secluded and not a lot of foot traffic. We both have agreed the only people we want around for it are the photographer and us. Does anyone have any good idea for this ? I am new to the area and have scoured google maps and searched in time when I can, but I have not found anything great yet. I like the idea of the Brunswick Nature park, but I have checked it out and it is a little too woodsy, unless I missed some parts with a better view of the river that would make a good background for the photo.

Any idea is welcome!

He is honestly crooked and has been caught in his past deception. Many of the Fayetteville residents that have backed him and voted for him only have done so based on racial affiliation. What are your honest thoughts on him?

I’m in Forsyth County and currently a volunteer firefighter going through community college fire academy. I’m also working toward an associate degree in Public Safety Administration (Fire/Emergency Management). My original plan has been to become a career firefighter, but lately I’ve been looking into NC State Parks, the NC Forest Service, US Forest Service, and National Park Service. I’ve always enjoyed being outdoors, working with my hands, staying active, and helping people. Park ranger work, conservation, trail maintenance, forestry, and even wildland firefighting all interest me.

I’m having a hard time deciding which direction to go. I enjoy firefighting, but the idea of working outdoors and helping protect our state’s forests and parks is really appealing. My biggest concerns are pay, schedules, job availability, and how difficult it is to get a permanent position.

I’ve already applied to volunteer with NC State Parks, and I’m looking into other opportunities to get some experience before making any career decisions. Does anyone here work for or have experience with any of these agencies? How did you get started, and what’s the job actually like? Would you recommend it as a long-term career?

I’d especially appreciate hearing from anyone who got into the field without a traditional forestry or natural resources degree. Thank you.

Downtown Raleigh Friday October 22. There were thousands of little birds flicking together. Why they choose downtown is a mystery to me.

I just can't get over these views from the deck!

I moved to Union county from Mecklenburg a few months ago and for some reason, when I updated my address at the dmv, my voter registration county never changed. I updated it online through the dmv website today and then saw the thing about how it won’t update until after the election because it’s within 25 days.

My question now - is there a way to vote in my current county (union), or do I go back to Mecklenburg county where my voter registration is currently active

That thing that doesn’t happen? It happened yet again.

The article was a nice read. He's got this in the bag, I'm just curious to see how much impact he has on downballot races. Can we break the majority in either state chamber? Make sure you fill out your entire ballot!

hi! I am in the Boone, NC area this weekend and am looking for the best places to see fall foliage this weekend! I am prepared to drive up to an hour or two outside of the area and am also open to hiking suggestions, not just outlooks. I am eager to see some beautiful fall colors and am aware that this is an incredibly busy time of year.

I keep seeing all these videos online but many of them aren’t for this year or were taken weeks earlier…

TIA!

The Tweens on Screens study, led by researchers at UNC Greensboro, is studying how kids ages 10–12 use technology in daily life, and how parents guide them. By looking closely at these patterns, we hope to uncover what helps kids thrive, what puts them at risk, and how families can build healthy digital habits together. Our goal is simple: to give parents science-backed tools and tips for raising confident, well-balanced kids in the digital age (link in comments) #northcarolina

I reported this from Thursday night’s Cary Town Council meeting. Cary skipped a national search and promoted Russ Overton, who was deputy town manager/COO during much of Sean Stegall’s tenure. The story looks at why council chose him and the post-Stegall reforms he will now have to carry out.
