Is it just me, or have cosmic crisp apples significantly gone down in crunchiness and texture in the past five months or so. Every bag that I get is shit. Every single apple is mushy.

Cosmic Crisp apples used to be my favorite, and there was rarely a shitty one. I have gotten them from different stores, and they're all garbage now. Can't even finish them. Anybody know why this happened?

Introducing !random@lemmy.blahaj.zone , the place where there's no set topic. This is where you can ask questions about random stuff, share a cool fun fact you found, vent about stuff, or whatever else you want.

You can post and share whatever you want, provided it does not promote misinformation, isn't spam, and isn't hateful/bigoted.

I made this because I find myself wanting to post stuff, but there's no community where it would fit. So now there's a community for it to fit.

Here's a funny (but also FUCKKKKK) moment that just happened to me. Figured y'all would like to hear.

So there's this large group chat for students that are going to the college I plan on transferring to in the fall. I was trying to send a link to the course catalog projection but my dumb ass accidentally sent this instead:

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/andr.12278

I immediately deleted it but like two people saw it immediately cuz of the link preview. I have no clue if it briefly shows to people who just open up the chat or not. I said "oops, was helping a friend look for stuff" trying to play it cool 😑. I may or may not have accidentally just outed myself to an entire group of people.

You are loved 🦈🏳️‍⚧️💜

Hello everyone,

This is regarding Keris, also known as RiikkaTheIcePrincess. Link to the previous post.

The last post that I made about Keris got a lot of engagement. She was able to get some financial help and other support, which was great, however their housing situation is still non-existent. The person who offered to let them stay in a couple of weeks fell through, so they have nowhere to go. Keris did make it safely to Minneapolis and is staying in a hotel until Monday. That means that they need a place to stay ASAP.

They really, really, need a place to stay while they search for a job. This is the thing that they most need right now. If anybody in the Minneapolis area has a spare bed, couch, or floor for her to sleep on, that would be a lifesaver. Seriously. Even if it's just for a week or a few days, it would be a huge help and would keep them off the streets for the time being while they figure things out and get back on their feet.

I understand that this isn't the usual type of content on this community, but it's a very time sensitive thing. There are projects in the works to assist future people who are in need on here, but for now this is all there is.

Keris said that she greatly appreciates everyone who has helped out with advice, support, resources, and donations so far.

Edit: Read her comment below for some corrections and clarifications.

Hi everyone,

This is an update regarding Keris (also known as RiikkaTheIcePrincess). Many of you already know of the situation, but if you do not, go check out her posts on this community.

TL;DR Keris is and has been in an abusive situation with their parents in rural Oklahoma. They gave her a seven day eviction notice, and now they have to leave. They are trans, neurodivergent, and have no place to go.

Keris is in desperate need of a place to stay in Minneapolis. She has gotten their ticket and is set to arrive tomorrow at 4:20pm in Minneapolis. The shelters there are night-only, and are not a good fit due to a variety of factors.

If there is ANYONE who can host Keris in Minneapolis for even a couple of days that would be a huge help. They are in a very bad spot right now and could really, really use your help. If you know someone who could host, that works too.

Thank you for your consideration.

Edit 1: if anybody also knows of any programs in Minneapolis that can help get Keris less temporary housing and/or a job that would also be very helpful.

Edit 2: Keris has found someone to stay with in about two and a half weeks. For now, they are going to try and stay in a cheap hotel. Thank you to everyone who came together to support Keris in her time of need. Please keep sending support and kind words their way. Their PayPal is LuxStellae@gmail.com for those who have asked.

I love y'all 🫂

Edit 3: It sounds like the place she was gonna stay in a couple of weeks fell through. They did make it to Minneapolis okay and are staying in a hotel. Keris still needs some kind of living arrangement (and friends).
