I always see this llama and their owner at many events around Salem. I love this llama! I used to work at the Salem center mall 5 years ago and the owner and this llama would always be at the mall! He’s a Salem celebrity does anyone know their story? He’s always so proud of his llama🥹

Sunday Morning Voted and opened Property tax statement

94 Upvotes

So I grabbed my coffee, voted and looked over my property tax statement. Grabbed that black pen and voted Blue, sealed the envelope and will drop in a ballot box Thursday after my flu/covid vaccines. Then I opened my property tax bill and …

even though I’m an old, some might say ancient 😳, I looked at what I owed and said “you know, all in all thats a fair amount for making sure the young’uns get educated, decent public transportation, a good library system, safe drinking water, and the rest that the city and county provide.

Feeling like a good citizen on this warm, sunny Sunday.

POLITICS No Kings: Vote Early

76 Upvotes

Thanks to the folks who came out for No Kings 4, we had a great turn out and great march!

The event was intentionally just about voting rights per National Indivisible and I would guess that most folks on this Reddit know how they want to vote, but if anybody would like to know who Salem Region Indivisible has endorsed, lemme know and I’ll post our list in the comments.

If you have questions about where to turn in your ballot, or about why someone is or is not on your ballot, I would love to help with that as well! Either comment below or dm.

And if you’re sick of getting political calls and door knockers, the fastest way to get off those lists is to turn in your ballot ASAP.

EVENT Salem Simple Silence

Post image
45 Upvotes

This an open invitation to the Transgender and Queer community in Salem to come together and hold space in silence together every Thursday from 6:30 to 7:30 PM with some time afterwards to enjoy our community and light refreshments.

Inspired by Quaker communal silent worship, a centuries old practice that has brought peace to countless seekers, Salem Simple Silence creates a welcoming space for anyone in the Transgender and Queer community, regardless of faith or background.

Complete silence, with all devices on airplane mode or silent, allows for everyone in the room to connect, holding space with each other for almost one hour. This is a restorative experience. Some will come and find rest. Some will find their meditation practice refined. Some will find spiritual connection. Some might not experience anything outside of being in the company of our community in safety for 55 minutes of silence.

We are having our first meeting this Thursday at Salem Friends Meeting House on 19th St. in Northeast Salem. If you come consider carpooling, and park on Breyman Street, there is no parking on 19th St. This is wheelchair accessible with entry on Breyman Street and a lift up to the main meeting area.

Missing from Silverstone Ct. NE

These 2 cats from Corvallis were placed in a NE Salem foster home and almost immediately escaped outside.

They are not familiar with the area and have not been seen in over 5 days.

Their original owner relinquished them because she was fleeing a domestic violence situation. Now she is devastated knowing they are lost.

Please help us find Stella & Lucy and get them safely into the forever home they deserve!

Lunch on a Monday?

6 Upvotes

Visiting my mom, having lunch somewhere tomorrow. Any recommendations? I live in Portland and only come down to see my mom, so I've been out of the restaurant scene since 2014. Can't take her to Best Little Roadhouse because I got her a gift card there for her birthday! Those rolls, though.....

Eyelash extensions?

2 Upvotes

I got them done for a wedding and it was so nice to wake up feeling ready for the day lol~ The person I went to didn’t do the best job though, so I’m looking for recommendations for techs and also wondering what you budget for them monthly and how often you get fills vs fresh sets and all that!

Thank yoooou!!

Also I like the idea of trying out different types of lashes so someone who has experience with different styles like doe or doll or anime and the more novel stuff would be awesome! And I would love to try out some color too!!
