Saw this on eBay a month or two ago, but the person selling it didn't list the name of the racquet. I couldn't find this colorway for any of the 'entries' on Squash Source's archive of all Harrow racquets (also scrolled down to see their alternate colorways for each entry, still no dice).
Hi! Wondering if anyone has documentaries where loving family dynamics are included. It doesn't have to be about family; open to pretty much any category or genre. I just finished watching Finding Christa from 1991, about a child who was given up for adoption that was old enough to have developed relationships with her birth mother and extended family prior to being given up. Maybe a third or halfway in, there's footage of her with the family that adopted her, and you can tell they really love her. I just found it very touching, that she lucked into such a loving family, and found people who could fully be there for her.
Hello,
I'm brooo000oo0o0o0ooooke, and about out of food. I know there are free fridges, but most of the ones I've walked past, regardless of neighborhood, are usually empty, or have like, One Lemon and Nothing Else in them.
Anyone have spots they go to where you don't have to worry you picking up a bag of greens or carrots that were there by surprise aren't the last thing the fridge will see for like the next two months? I don't want to take stuff in low-stock fridges, because I can live off of the few Sad Things I have before I start a new job (going on like week 2 of oatmeal for most meals, a bag of lentils, portioning out my last bag of frozen veggies to last longer by eating less), especially if there are regulars that rely on it. People who are homeless, or who have families, etc.
I'm in school Mondays and Wednesdays from morning to afternoon, so can't wait in food lines on those days. The school is not a major college, and is moreso an experimental program; they just link students to other maps of food donation spots, but don't have direct resources for us.
I understand it's possibly uncouth to ask about other attendees and putting them on blast, especially because their being a marginalized member of the community (like, lower percentage of attendees means odds are they would recognize they were being talked about), so I'm specifically asking if you linked up with anyone trans across the duration of all nights hosted, and what the experience was like as a cis man. Please do not describe their body, or anything else about their traits (like, this guy of this race with these tattoos...), just a yes or no for whether it felt open and low stress, or if things seemed less relaxed and open despite the site's codes of conduct requiring everyone upholds inclusive, non-discriminatory practices in the space.
For trans guys, also curious to know what it felt like, vibes wise. I used to go to Eros in SF when I was in my very early 20s and a few of the guys that saw me were weirdly fixated on trying to link with me over anyone and everyone else for the evening. Chasers, who weren't experienced enough to provide pleasure despite communication around what did and didn't work.
I can make the assumption that across several events over the span of a few weeks or months, I may be the only trans attendee, but if that's true every single time, I'd rather avoid being the one and only, as it would be nice to know I'm not 'alone.'
I posted a few days ago asking if anyone who owns a restaurant or has a friend who has a restaurant would be open to giving someone who has ~2 decades of high volume customer service and retail experience a chance at a busser, server, host, or bar back role, but no one responded.
So now, I'd like to receive help from others who lied on their resume to make it seem like they were suited for restaurant and hospitality work. I've seen a ton of posts here; 'You need to lie' seems to be the consensus, and most common comment people leave on posts for people who haven't had luck even procuring interviews for food service roles.
Feel free to privately DM me about a barter you'd be up for, in exchange for resume help. I don't mind: cleaning, organizing, one day odd jobs at your place of work (I've done it before; usually entails cleaning out a disorganized inventory room, helping set up for special events, updating excel sheets everyone's put off because it's obnoxious side work), proofreading and editing text, dog walking, random errands (picking up and dropping off groceries, packages, medication). Also open hearing about other tasks and assessing if I can do them, case by case basis thing though.
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a busser, server, or host job. If there's room for it, I'm also open to learning to bar back, to ensure the standing bartender can handle making drinks more efficiently. Truly up for stepping in wherever help may be needed. I've worked at a fast food chain, worked the food counter in a very busy national grocery chain, worked as a barista, worked as a retail sales associate with very high daily visitor counts, but I don't have experience outside of duties like cashiering, back of house operations (dishwasher, arranging food to ensure food safety/best by dates are properly adhered to, production line assembling food; not line-cook level of food orders, just, hand off this ingredient, seal this sandwich or burrito, etc.).
Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, I'm available open to close, and happy to also help out with call-outs, private events, or special events, like food truck days, or days the restaurant sets up a kiosk at a festival or market. Mondays and Wednesdays, I'm available from ~2:30 onward (will be coming from Clinton Hill area, where I have classes, by bike; can get to most places in Brooklyn within 15 minutes, max of 30 minutes if higher up, like edge of Williamsburg, where Bushwick blends into Ridgewood and Queens, etc.).
I'm very good with hospitality, and know how to treat people from all walks of life, across cultural backgrounds well, ensuring their experience is the best it can be.
I've just been crashing and burning because my resume is all warehouse production work, and security guard work. The food related roles were at the beginning of my working career (which was about a decade ago). I feel like I'm getting auto rejections due to a lack of '2-5 years of experience in high volume restaurants.'
If you, or someone you know who runs a restaurant, is open to allowing someone to learn the ropes while keeping things running smoothly, please feel free to privately message me.
Not opposed to work in the city, but ultimately would prefer to be able to commute by bike since the trains have been getting worse and worse as of late.
Hi, will get to the meat and potatoes of it all, pointing to the more useful text with asterisks, but if you want to read through all of it, I'd be very appreciative.
I'm currently a first time college student. Initially I was interested in copywriting because I enjoy knowing I can find or match the tone others are looking for, across themes, genres, or general feeling, get people hooked, or keep them interested. I'm about a year away from graduating and have to more seriously think about what 'after' looks like. Reading the more recent posts here have left me feeling less interested in copywriting, because I don't want to abandon my values to earn my income. I don't use AI at all, try to steer others away from using it as well. I don't want to know I've jumped through hoops to avoid using it, and still somehow managed to convince someone or a company that I'm worth the time through cold calls and emails, only for it to be a company I'm in opposition to (like Meta, Lockheed Martin, and others in the same vein), because they're willing to pay a 'generous' rate, and earnings would hypothetically keep me afloat for long enough that I would be fine while I search for the next opportunity.
********** I'm wondering if others have felt similarly, and if so, you've pivoted to other avenues of writing. I'm also interested in editing, or ghostwriting, but am unsure how naive that is, as I'm sure ghostwriting best sellers would also involve projects I don't feel particularly passionate about or even interested in. I'm also considering the prospect of immigrating elsewhere in the world, learning their every day language, and becoming a copywriter than can translate to and from English, for things like healthcare, government publications that its citizens access (announcements, warnings for nationwide issues, diplomatic or delegative, preservation and scribe related work), etc.
I've seen a few posts here where people said they left the field entirely, moved on or back to things like bartending, cleaning, general hospitality. I've done every 'entry level' job under the sun, from high school, to my now mid 30s. I was hoping school would allow me to finally stop doing this type of work, but I don't know what decisions I should be considering to make my post-graduation work life better.
Hi! Wondering if there's any stores nearby that sell queer flag enamel pins. Not opposed to Brooklyn, writ large, but happy to support a shop in our area, if possible. My guess is something along the stretch of Tompkins that's closer to Flatbush, but I don't head down that way frequently enough to know if that guess is good.
Hi,
I've been going to a park that gets a lot of foot traffic, as I'm working on an art project related to the activity that's been happening each day (this book is one of my sources of inspiration). What I've noticed after a week of going is there have been a few instances where I'd really like to talk with people I come across, but don't want to disturb them, regardless of their setup (alone, with friends, partners, families, etc.), but would be open to sitting and talking with anybody who'd want to do that, so was considering making a cheapo sign with a thin piece of wood or pvc pipe and those big construction paper sheets that just says something along the lines of 'sit with me if you'd like to,' or 'want to talk/want someone to listen?' and temporarily staking it into grass.
I'm worried to get hassled by cops over it, though. The specific park is directly across the street from one of the more 'aggro' (read: unhelpful and antagonistic) precincts in Brooklyn. I was considering putting the lgbtq flag on it as well (very small; most people assume I'm a cisgender man, but I'm not one; flag is mostly meant to just convey I'm happy to provide a low-pressure, comfortable, safe spot to land for a chunk of time, versus possibly being perceived as like, Generic Bro Doing Social Experiment, Hoping to Go Viral), but am unsure if it being a specific group or kind of messaging would also just draw unnecessary ire or veer into a bigger legal issue because it's 'political.' The sitting and talking with others has nothing to do with the art; would just be part of my going. Like, one day I sat or spoke with someone new before or after working on some art, the next, nobody stops by, so I work on the art uninterrupted.
I tried putting this question into a search engine and got an answer stating people can't leave more 'serious' flags on public land, (like, metal flagpole, actual fabric flag, up 24/7), but I'm unsure if it still applies if I'll be with the sign the entire time I'm there, and it's not very flaglike.
No clue when this offer expires, but might be good to fall back on when the 2 month free trial also up top with other pinned posts stops working. I tested a few different countries and languages in the URL (example, changed 'us-en' to 'de-de' for Germany, 'ca-fr' for Canada and French language) and the link still worked.
Page (in english) reads as follows:
'Offer valid on STUDIO SOLO monthly without commitment. The first 2 months are free, then $12.99 per month. Offer limited and only for new customers, cannot be combined with any other offer. Valid until July 29, 2026.'
Post trial pricing and wording may differ in other languages. Change the country in the url to your country if you don't see the drop down option to click your country. Example = qobuztrialwebsite/?country=DE , country=FR - for your country's subscription rate.
Hi everyone,
I found this post and was curious to know if the writing aspect alone was a job one can obtain (and if so, what its title would be), or if this task is usually rolled up into a 'many hats' title, like the body of the post linked to.
Can provide more information about myself in comments if useful, but got a pop up before posting mentioning that discussing my skills or history are possibly breaking rule 3, so I'm just leaving the question as is.
Thank you.
Hey everyone,
Someone on an explore page I was scrolling through was documenting their weight loss journey by filming themselves using an 'infinity hoop,' and she's down almost 300 pounds, emphasizing that consistency is key.
Pretty much every type of exercise I've tried out, I just throw the towel in on it, because I don't enjoy it enough to stay consistent. I used to do long distance cycling but live in a pretty bike unsafe city (one of the largest, most populated cities in the country, so gyms are also always packed regardless of time of day, which also factored into throwing in the towel), and don't always have the means to ride or take public transit further out where space is ample and less car-packed.
Wondering if other neurodivergent people feel up to sharing what activity works for them.

Hey everyone,
I know a large portion of people who tested positive and lose sense of smell and taste regain the senses in full effect, though the timeline for that is different for everyone, but I'm just generally curious about it.
After I experienced that, I was reading other posts where people said it's indicative of neural cells dying, and COVID has lasting neurological effects. What does it mean, neurologically, for those senses to return? Is it 'reparative?'
Hey, when I view the mod log on desktop, I see posts our subreddit members that have made posts I've approved hours or days before, then I see more recently, a secondary mod also approves it, days after I've already cleared it? Anyone understand why this would be happening?
I try to message them but they're very 'one word answer' for a lot of correspondence, and got added as a moderator years ago. They weren't moderating at all (had the inactive tab, mod actions were several years old as well) and after I asked them to help out or consider leaving the mod team due to subreddit members feeling that more hands on deck would alleviate pain points around posts and discussions they wanted more and less of, that's when the re-approved posts thing started happening, in place of managing the mod queue tab?
