Yup, it's definitely new. My parents used to live out that way and I remember when it wasn't there! It's built up so much over the last five years!

I just did ye olde fxbg hike (because i don't like the honda dealer here and they treat me better where i bought my car 10 years ago lol). The positive thing is that the Publix/Lidl aren't FULLY on Rt. 3, also known as the traffic hellhole that makes me scream.
There's also still one in Fredericksburg! But that requires driving through the back roads. But you can stop at Publix before the Lidl at least?
I am very happy that the Spanish version of "Guilty Pleasure" by Cobra Starship (Placer Culpable!) is on Apple Music. WHAT A BANGER.
SOON.
I can't wait for tomorrow, when a piece I've been working on finally gets published...with what might be the silliest disclosure in it.
I asked my PCP about it and she told me that her office is looking into how to handle the prescription thing, because it will "significantly increase our workload outside of office visits." Even they're still waiting for updated guidance too :|
I'm 100% here for more Hayley Williams x David Byrne collaborations.
absolutely not
bring back xanga, dangit.
Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., the vice chair of the Intelligence Committee, says he was denied a meeting with career intelligence workers because Laura Loomer objected.
Luigi's mom is truly one of my favorite moms I've ever met.

"Whoever controls the skies controls the future of warfare" - Pete Hegseth (this is...a weird thing to say?)
everyone has been doing a great job with these!
Weâve got some really fun pieces going live this week! Thanks for reading (and listening)! The wrestling one is one of my favorites.
Itâs a big week for the @vpm.org Finding Joy series đ
I think I just heard turnstileâs WILD WRLD in an ESPN college football commercial and WHAT
I figured yall would! Spencer may or may not have gotten annoyed with me making so many Cville mail jokes today.
THIS IS A VERY BAD (niche) JOKE AND I AM NOT SORRY
Anyway, I found the mail hole where all the mail goes in Charlottesville today and couldnât stop laughing.
They were just hanging out by their large vehicles today.
Union market district! Itâs not IN Union market đđŒ
Sunday in DC in front of Union Station:
Chai Pani opened a spot in dc and wow we are truly blessed.
Oh I love this! Iâve never been before and I canât wait to see!
Thatâs a very fun one! Havent been there in a minute.
I am back in dc for the day and Iâm most excited about going to the postal museum đ
SOMEONE BROUGHT A (plastic) GOOSE TO THE UVA FOOTBALL GAME???????
Iâve just placed my order and now I donât need to shop for him months from now đ
You may have just given me the best idea for my brotherâs Christmas present.
I am (once again) profusely sorry for being THAT neighbor who is screaming at her tv watching football.
thank you for this!!
what do you mean plans by death cab for cutie is 20 years old today. no. impossible. WHAT.
where is this place and is it worth driving to?
Shoutout to the dude at the Charlottesville wegmans who was also sporting a cool Penn State @homefield.bsky.social tee today. ITâS GAMEDAY SATURDAY đ
I love how we are still living in times of confusion with all of this.
Ugh ugh ugh.
I amâŠnot sure. I did send my PCP a message to see. Doesnât look like you need one in Tennessee thoughâŠ
I have resumed my immunity gummy vitamins and am out buying masks again because ew.
Not yet. CVS is apparently asking for prescriptions like Walgreens is. I need to see if Costco knows when theyâre getting them in.
his name is pudge!
New Music Friday has bestowed many gifts to us today: End It's new record, Blood Orange's new record, new Margo Price! and Hayley Williams' heartbreaking new song that I have already listened to a silly amount since yesterday.
Major update: As of this morning, CVS says it's decided it can offer the vax in 13 of the 16 states IF you get a prescription. Still a big new barrier for many people, but a change from its "no vaccines at all in these states" position yesterday. The three remaining absolute-nos are MA, NV and NM.
Walgreens is out for me due to insurance, but Costco might be getting the shots? They showed up (not available yet) online! Wegmans didnât even have the option to schedule one. So i love living in the land of confusing times!
IT IS AND I AM IN PAIN OVER THIS TRADE and itâs very on-point for this sad bears fan.
Wegmans is also not publicly scheduling (I just checked).
A bunch of pharmacies in Bristol (on the TN side) will have the Pfizer shots, but thatâs all I saw.
Yeah I wonât even go to Walgreens after this weekâs flu vax gaffe with my insurance.
While the CVS site doesnât ask what conditions qualify you for the shot, it will tell you itâs not available due to âstate restrictions or inventory.â As it stands right now, the âhey Charlottesville where can we get a Covid vaccine that isnât CVSâ crowdsourcing is definitely going to be a thing.
Virginia is one of the states on this list
Todayâs labubu is ARTHUR FLASHE and honestly, yes. A legend!
I hear rumor that the 14th St bridge has claimed another victim...pics anyone??
OH MY GOD THE ONE DAY IM NOT IN TOWN
GESTURING WILDLY! AT THE CAR DEALER. (my new life story)
oh just you wait đ
Good question! I think itâs just something that weâve all learned in the exact same phrase no matter what year we were born.
I keep seeing stuff about âmitochondrial challengesâ all over my feed tonight and the only thing that goes through my brain is MITOCHONDRIA ARE THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL.
The songs make me never want to use them.
This is a recent change. Itâs still referred to as Abyon Farmville Correctional Center, and the new new ownership is only a few months in.
The VPM News crew is here to bring a little joy into your lives with our new series, Finding Joy. Itâs got everything from rats to wrestling, and yesâŠthere will be GWAR. Stay tuned for what else rolls out over the next week đ
If I hear about it in town, you know I'll blast it out here!
i never even thought of it this way. i got my flu shot on monday and the only questions i was asked were: am i allergic to anything; am i planning on being or currently pregnant; have i had a bad reaction to any shot before. nothing about any other conditions and now im gonna worry just a bit.
As did the Downtown Mall CVS! That's where I got mine!
Now that the updated rona vaccines have been approved* I guess it's time to start doing the "where can you get Novavax in Cville" crowdsourcing again. *with conditions, that many of us do qualify for, weirdly enough.
Kristen Painter, business editor for the Minnesota Star Tribune, has a second-grade daughter and a preschool son who attend the school. âIt sounds so clichĂ©, but itâs your worst nightmare,â she said.
Thatâs on me! But coming from pantops my options are limited to get to the Loweâs side of town đ€Šđ»ââïž
If youâre trying to get by free bridge/long stâŠtraffic is BAD (thanks to an accident)
LOLhio state is at it once again.
Naomi Osaka has a labubu named Billie Jean Bling and I am HERE for it.
I am ready to throw my phone off a cliff.
In other news, I hate this current news cycle AND NO I DON'T WANT A ZILLION NOTIFICATIONS ABOUT A CERTAIN ENGAGEMENT.
I am begging grown adults to gain some media literacy skills.
Never gonna forget the UVA kids in front of me asking who Stevie wonder was when he played with Dave.
I am just a trash pop girlie sometimes đ
Yes butâŠshe still did a decent job live!
NO! Not at all. Itâs still a mystery to my family how he even ate 63 in a short period of time last year.
honestly this is probably why my dad loves McRibs so dang much.
And to think I still havenât seen a certain famous musician in town yet. But I have seen a 90 day fiancĂ© star AND a viral meme person (although I think heâs definitely staying in jail for a long time)
Didnât Katie help Jim move out??? I think I saw that post?
The UVA dorm room tour TikToks have entered my FYP and thatâs how I found out a famous actressâs niece is a first year???? (yall, what are the odds weâd see THE Reese in town?)
Theyâre great hats!
my influence, really.
TIL Spencerâs 6yo nephewâs favorite song is âwonderwallâ and somehow I canât stop laughing.
I still got the dang shot! And now I donât have to go to cvs for it right when UVA kids are back en masse.
Itâs through my work and it was an optional thing
I donât actually have one!
Wouldâve been $62, they used a coupon that brought it to $30.50 and I am going to have words with Anthem about this.
anyway, this is the first flu shot Iâve ever had to pay for. what a world.
I am just trying to get my flu shot today and apparently Walgreens isnât contracted with my insurance? Not me being a đ€Ą and thinking that you could just go to any pharmacy and get a flu shot for free if you had insurance.
I promise that it has nothing to do with that at all!
There are some things AP Style guidelines don't prepare you for...like writing about...aliens?
ugh ugh ugh (to all of this)
Reminder to my Cville friends: the start of public schools and return of UVA students inevitably results in an upturn in COVID (and other respiratory illnesses). This is a good time to start wearing a mask indoors again.
I met @idislikestephen.bsky.social last week and being part of the "joy bringers club" when the news (and world) seem all doom and gloomy is really, really fun.
I need to stop reading books that just make me cry even though theyâre probably not supposed tođ
Heâs got instagram! His handle there is hgokawa. He does custom things too.
Also if youâre in Richmond and would like to see a cool art thing, come to secret flowers at 207 N Davis!
My brother is currently hosting an art show in Richmond about rats with his cool paper art!
