I started volunteering for a local nonprofit about a month ago but with pretty minimal involvement and communication about the organization/ things to come. The ED invited me to come with her to a live Spanish radio interview. I was so excited and came along thinking I was just there to observe and learn. I never got any info on which radio station or what the interview was going to be about. She gave me a different meeting location, I got there called her and told her the building was closed. Then at the radio station I realized she wanted me to be interviewed. I told her I just wanted to listen. For context, I don't speak Spanish even though I'm Latina and I'm autistic. She knew both of these things before hand.

During the interview she kept throwing the conversation to me forcing me to speak. At one point, I had enough and refused to answer. She still tried to force me to close out the interview after I refused to speak at one point. After we left i told her I was uncomfortable and don't speak Spanish well (I know basics). She just said, "but this is what you do right? Communications?" I told her I do content creation not media or live interviews. I emailed her the same day expressing my concerns and detailing that putting me live on air without any heads up wasn't OK. I told her I should have clarified my role and just assumed i would be observing.

The next day I decided to email the radio station and asked if I could stay anonymous in the interview and explained I wasn't aware I would be interviewed so I didn't want my name attached to it. On Saturday, the ED tried to call me and said we need to talk via text. On Monday, I responded and explained that I didn't want to talk on a Saturday and wanted some time to process so I waited until Monday. All of a sudden I get notification that I'm cut out of the organization email I had and she texted me asking me not to attend any meetings/speak to anyone at the organization. I wanted to talk and clarify but after a few texts she referred to me as demanding and that she wanted me to be honest. I'm genuinely confused and I feel like it's unethical to put anyone live on air without preparation. That's why I assumed I was observing. Having autism just heightened how awful this whole thing was.

Is this unethical? I've never experienced anything like it as a volunteer.

I hired someone to do a mostly native landscape design for me a while back. I'm still a newbie to native plants and just trusted the design. I ended up planting sunshine ligustrum and caryopteris. I had no idea that the ligustrum is related to Chinese privet. I know they're not considered invasive yet, but many things weren't at first. Is there any research that shows a potential to become invasive?

I might be worrying too much but my neighbor keeps trying to plant things near my newly fixed irrigation system. I offered to pay to move the second plant they planted already and I came out this morning and they planted a redbud just about 5 feet away from the pipes. I worry once the tree grows the roots will look for water in the pipes. How do I handle this? This has been an ongoing saga lol am I over worrying with it being that close?
