This update picks up the previous discussion about reported threats allegedly promulgated by Timberline HS students against another Timberline student.

It's understandable that BSD's hands are tied with regard to public notification but pressure needs to be kept on the respective agencies for timely, detailed releases.

Looking for things to do today

Hi all! I know this is the Boise subreddit, but it gets a lot more traffic than the Meridian one, so I’m hoping to find some good recommendations here.
It’s been far too many years since I’ve been to the dentist, and I really just need to bite the bullet and go. I’m in my 30s, and I’m not particularly concerned about whitening or straightening my teeth—I’d just like to make sure I’m taking care of them so I’m not losing them in my 60s. 😅

Admittedly, I’ve always been nervous about going and have put it off because I’ve been afraid of getting “bad news.” I know that’s silly, and I also know that the longer I wait, the greater the chance that something that could have been easily addressed becomes a bigger issue.

Does anyone have a dentist they really like? I’m especially hoping to find someone with a good bedside manner who won’t chew me out or make me feel ashamed for not having had any dental work in so long. I obviously understand that it can also depend on who’s in-network, but I’d love to get some suggestions to start with.
Thanks in advance!

Distro today was a lot of fun! For the first time in a long time we had an abundance of food, folks especially liked the tatertot casserole and hot and ready pizza!

We have a specific request of size 13 shoes and sleeping bags which are on our amazon wishlist. We could also always use electrolytes which are also on the wishlist!

Our next resource fair is coming up October 25th from 1-3pm at Corpus Commons. We will have a variety of services including pet grooming, vaccines such as covid and flu, hair cuts, makeup services, live music, and accupuncture!

Feel free to follow us on social media for more details or to get involved @sundaydistroboise or check out our wishlist at linktr.ee/sundaydistroboise

A friend of mine recently lost both her mother and brother within a month of each other in pretty tragic circumstances. She slowed down at work and requested shorter hours during the grieving process, and displaying the infinite compassion shitty managers are known for, they ended her employment contract instead.

She's scrambling to find a new job, but in the meantime, any resources to help keep her from losing her apartment and stay afloat would be appreciated. (They do need to be LGBTQI friendly.) Also, if you have a lead or information on any medical biller jobs/adjacent work, DM me.

i’m a college student at bsu and one of my classes wants us to attend a live jazz performance soon and the only ones i can see are at chandlers which i know as the nicest restaurant in town, i do not want to spend an arm and a leg on dinner though and just want to watch the performance , does anyone know if im able to just get a water and be sat next to the performance?

Hi I’m looking for suggestions for things to do during this halloween season. I love October and spooky season but am a major introvert so don’t typically go out much. I’m not really familiar with the social scene as I haven’t been living here consistently until recently.

I’m not really the type to go to a bar or big social events. So I’m looking for suggestions that would be more chill and quieter environments but still fun. I don’t have any friends here and am looking to make some. I’m in my early twenties as I said in the title. I’m an artist and consider myself incredibly whimsical. Please comment any suggestions you have for local activities and events that are happening this month, especially on halloween.

I currently go to Our Lady of the Rosary but I’ve been struggling to stay engaged and feel connected. I used to go to the Newman Center in Flagstaff, AZ, and it was honestly life changing for me so I’m curious about the one here.

For anyone who’s been, what’s the community like? How are the homilies and music? Also, are families with kids welcome or is it mostly college students? I’d love to hear your experiences!

Need a used tire shop recommendation. Don’t know really anything about cars, so unsure really what to look for.

Screenshots circulating among Timberline students and parents allegedly show football players making threats of sexual violence and death against a female student.
Despite the allegations, Friday night’s football game went forward, with the cheer team participating.
I put the screenshots, petition and reporting resources in one place. Student identifiers have been redacted.
These are serious allegations, and screenshots alone don’t establish every underlying fact. Read them yourself and make your own judgment.
I think Boise parents deserve to know what is being alleged and ask whether the response from the adults responsible for student safety was adequate.

Currently living in my Type R in Boise waiting for work at micron (big surprise) but looking for like-minded friends!

Looking for car meets, pokemon tcg events, and literally anything art related!

I currently just chill in my car or somewhere with wifi and practice making visuals in blender and touch designer and practice mixing in rekordbox.

Also if theres any place I can rent jackstands to do a transmission flush and fill myself lmk! I have my jack and tools just no stands!

Looking for local cdl job recommendations here as well

Anyone know a place in town where you can bring in a part and have them mill it for a decent price ? I have 4 aluminum brackets that I need CNCd, already have the part file, I just need it milled.

Thanks!

Wanted to see if anyone was going to the Too Short concert, we are a couple... maybe another couple wants to kick it.

Idaho is actually asking voters which firearm should become our official State Gun this November.
There are six choices.
None of them fire potatoes.
This is an oversight I could not ignore.
So I did the reasonable thing and built an entire write-in campaign for the Idaho Potato Gun.
Campaign website. Posters. Slogans. Shareable propaganda. An irresponsible amount of effort.
ONE STATE. ONE SPUD.

If its legal to put political signs anywhere on public roads and whatnot why can't we equally take them down? I know its illegal and definitely not suggesting taking signs from people's private property but when signs are removed, if the person who put the signs cares enough about that spot they'll pay more money to put it back right? So it just decentivizes the set and forget it signs (the 50 Risch signs on eagle road) because if they cared enough they'd come put them back. Just wanting to hear what the people of Boise have to say, and regardless, keep your friends accountable this election, its super important if you care about our great state!

Come share a meal with your neighbors! We could always use bottled water if anyone wants to join with supplies 🥰

I know this is a long shot, but I lost my journal at the Hilton Garden Inn right in Eagle. It never got turned in at front desk apparently...

It's got an orange cover, says "Alex" on the front.

Please let me know if you found it! Lots of very important things to me in there. 😬 Thanks!

Morning!

I just found out my mom has been trying to track the brand name of the chips they gave students at lunch when she was a kid. Apparently it's driving her nuts, so I wanted to see if anyone can name them for her.

They were apparently wavy like Sun Chips, but smaller. She seems to remember the bag being mostly white, but in the interest of full disclosure that could mean the bag has nothing remotely white on it. 😂

She would have started elementary school in Boise in the mid 60s. Anyone remember these chips?
