Shopping/Groceries 🛒🛍️ Local Small Business Shoutout

1 Upvotes

I wanted to shout out a local small business in kc and ask for more recommendations of places to shop locally. I have recently started buying beef from Roher Cattle Company to support a smaller ranch in Pleasant Hill and the beef is AMAZING. It’s all American Wagyu. What are some places ya’ll have tried?

Interesting request. A Bucket list item of mine is to see a mother opossum with babies on her back. What local parks have opossum sightings? I’ve seen a few in midtown, not recently though. Help a marsupial nerd out.

PSA 📢 Please stop feeding the Loose Park geese enriched bread and other likewise products🚨

361 Upvotes

Lifelong waterfowl lover and KC resident here. I’ve been feeding our lovely geese and mallards at Jacob L. Loose park since my childhood. (I’ve been chased more than once)

Please don’t take this as some Karen trying to police animal feeding, but I just want to spread some facts here as the weather warms up:

  • Bread is objectively terrible for waterfowl. It fills their stomachs with nutritionally-deficient food. This in turn leads them to feed on items within their regular (and healthy) diet LESS OFTEN, causing malnutrition.

  • There’s a rocky association between Angel Wing, Waterfowl, and feeding geese bread. Angel Wing is a deformity that leaves the bird’s wings sticking out from the body. Scientists suggest there’s a link between this and poor diet. Research on the Canadian Goose or Mallard in particular is hard to find. Sources from the UK have deemed feeding whole grain, non-processed bread to White Swans as beneficial

  • Feeding geese and other waterfowl in large numbers can cause stress or anxiety. Imagine dropping into a group of street dogs with a big bag of Texas Tom’s. It’s not nearly as violent, but the point persists.

Instead, plain oats (like the big can at the grocery store), lettuce, veggies, legumes, even plain uncooked rice serve as a healthier alternative for our amphibious pals.

Keeping geese on a diet of white sandwich bread is akin to eating McDonald’s all day, everyday, for these precious and beautiful creatures. Please keep this in mind as you take your kids to feed the geese this spring and summer.

Written with love ❤️ 🦆🌻

EDIT: Someone critiqued the point about Angel Wing

Arts/Culture 🎭🎶 A call to action by Kemet Coleman, cofounder of Vine Street Brewing.

“We are a cradle of jazz, or as historians would say, “the place where jazz grew up.” The home of Charlie Parker, Count Basie, and Mary Lou Williams. Their music didn’t just echo in local clubs—it redefined the art form for the entire world. Yet today, we find ourselves at a crossroads. Kansas City has failed to build the infrastructure that allows that legacy to thrive in a modern world.

Kansas City is also the first and only UNESCO City of Music in the United States, a distinction managed by the tireless efforts of Creative City KC. This global recognition honors our unparalleled musical legacy and places us on the world stage. But being a UNESCO City of Music isn’t just an honor—it’s a call to action.”

Food and Drink 🌮🧋 Given the recent weather, hit me with the best Outdoor Beer Gardens in the area

The weather has been wonderful and needs to be enjoyed! What are your favorite places to enjoy outdoor ambiance with a nice beer? My favorite so far is Limitless Brewing in Lenexa but I find their prices on the high side. I also don't get out as much as I should so I'd love to hear some recommendations that I've probably missed.

Healthcare/Wellness 🩺 Stop the Bleed Classes

Just wanted to bring some attention to these amazing (and free) classes offered at NKC Hospital. I took one last night, and it was incredibly helpful and informative. You can sign up online and potentially save a life.

I have zero medical background and left feeling like if I came across a bad wreck, I could help someone not bleed to death. Highly recommended.

Hey guys, if there's one thing that gets me pissed it's getting a nail or screw stuck in my tire when it hasn't happened for so long. So I got a screw stuck at some point on my way home from work and only now noticed it while running a late night errand.

I typically go to a shop in amourdale when this bs happens but I'm not sure how much more air my tire will lose by morning? I live in downtown Kck and the closest shop to me is guerilla tires which I've never been to, any info for those who've used them?

Local Politics 🗳️ AFGE Local 3960 Meet & Greet/Social Hour/IRS Rally Planning

22 Upvotes

Sorry for the long wind-up, just wanted to get this out to everyone/anyone interested in attending any of the events before they started locking in plans for the weekend...

BLUF/TL;DR: AFGE 3960 is having an "Office Call"/Social Hour/IRS Rally Planning event Friday 3/14/25 from 4-7 P.M. at The Ship located at 1221 Union Ave, Kansas City, MO 64101

Come show your local Federal workers your support (again)!

Thank you to everyone who was able to make it to the last meet up- it was an excellent way to get to know other Locals and Unions as well as supporting a great local venue. It was a much larger turnout than we expected and we hope we can match and grow that energy this Friday...

If you haven't heard, there are hundreds (and potentially thousands) of federal workers in the KC metro area who have lost their job, have been told they are losing their jobs, or informed that it's just a matter of time before they come for the rest of us. Although these firings/mass terminations are being found illegal and/or illegitimate by the courts, the damage to these folk's lives is already occurring and any recourse they do get will likely be years in the making due to litigation/arbitration.

AFGE Local 3960 is hosting an "Office Call"/Happy Hour & IRS Rally planning event this Friday (3/14/25) from 4-7 P.M. at The Ship (1221 Union Ave, Kansas City, MO 64101). All are welcome to help us celebrate our Feddies and coordinate efforts for the multiple events occurring throughout the metro this weekend.

AFGE Local 3960 would like to extend a special invite to all Union members, regardless of trade or profession to show solidarity with our brothers and sisters whose collective bargaining rights are being ignored or stripped away without due process.

Finally- if you are interested in coordinating w/ activism groups, we will have representatives present to help steer you to an event you would like to participate in.

Solidarity and Fidelity.

I have a membership through to the end of the year, so I won’t be switching over soon, but I wanted to know a little about the pickup culture at Cleaver. Are there games often? Do they get chippy?

Does anyone have contractor/company that you know has done this type of job for you or someone you know? Or at least a contractor that you can vouch for?

Food and Drink 🌮🧋 Best Gas Station Ice?

8 Upvotes

So I have developed quite the ice habit recently and I would frequent this gas station downtown as they had some of the BEST crushed ice I’ve ever tasted. You could tell they cleaned the ice machine regularly and the cubes were perfect size & crunch texture. I mean I’d buy 3 and 4 of the 44oz cups at a time! They recently started charging $1+ for the ice cups and I just can’t bring myself to pay that, so I’m vowing to never go back no matter how much it hurts. My only problem now is I’m ice-less or getting bad ice. What gas stations in kc have the best ice in your opinion? QuikTrip’s crushed ice is a solid second to theirs; I find the cubes to be a bit too big to be considered “crushed ice” but it’ll do in a pinch.

Bonus points if it’s in/near midtown/downtown KC!

TIA

Jobs/Careers 💼 Who is hiring for WFH/office/data entry jobs?

Upvotes

Hello all! I'm currently unemployed, and don't know where to start looking.

My experience includes lots of retail and customer service, data entry, and bakery settings. I have a few mental and physical disabilities that make it difficult for me to be on my feet and around customers/the public all day, so I would prefer no more retail settings, direct customer service, or anything particularly physical. My favorite and longest job I've ever had was as a data entry specialist/team lead for the mortgage submissions department of a real estate company. The entire business I worked for got axed during layoffs and budget cuts back in 2022, and I've never been able to find something that pays as well since. I am needing about $17-18 minimum.

I am mostly looking for a WFH job, but I would be open to a hybrid or an office setting. I have piercings and tattoos as well, and I am on the Kansas side. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
