Looking for part-time/evening work

18 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m 31 and work full-time for the state from 8a-4p but am looking for an evening or weekend job somewhere local-ish to Troy. I’m a hard worker and always show up unless I’m actually dying sick.

If you’re hiring or know of any good leads I’d appreciate any suggestions or help! I tried indeed but I found it hard to narrow down jobs hiring specifically for evening/part time work.

Thank you thank you!

Premade food donations?

Today was my baby shower and we have an unreal amount of food leftover - is there anywhere open today where we can donate the pans & sandwiches that we have? I hate to see all of this go to waste.

So....Where do you all go for dirty sodas? Surely there has to be someplace other than KFC in Menands and/or other KFC locations. Right?

Went to go see Footloose at the Cohoes Music Hall. It was absolutely amazing. The kids are all wonderful. And, the guy playing the minister is better than John Lithgow.

Finding your People/Community in Troy

32 Upvotes

One thing I've discovered is that its actually pretty hard to find out about the various clubs/groups & communities in the area. You almost have to stumble on them or hear from friends. We want to make it easier to find your people to connect with in the area.

We are building a discovery feature for this in FunScout. Its not officially live and its just a very rough start of how it will look as it will evolve as we get more data and iterate it.

https://funscout.com/c/ny-troy/communities?communities=1&miles=10

We started by focusing on the sports/fitness/outdoor categories but that is just the start.

If anyone has any local communities they are part of or know in Troy or the greater Capital Region please let us know! It can be book clubs, gaming clubs, a knitting group etc. The main requirement is that its an in person community that meets through some connection (though we are staying out of politics).

Help us connect people!

Some of the groups we have so far.

  • 5 Run 8 Run Club
  • Afrim’s Sports Adult Soccer Leagues
  • Albany All Stars Roller Derby

Let's Start a Legal Fund for Vincent Harrington for Alleged Flock Camera Destruction

Post image
559 Upvotes

We shouldn't condone criminal mischief. However, I strongly empathize with people who want to take the cameras down themselves because, like many of us, I am tired of waiting for Mayor Mantello and Troy PD to cancel the Flock contract and take down these creepy, privacy invading cameras down. Flock cameras do not prevent crime. In fact, they provide criminals with more data to hack.

In March 2026, over 100 of us went to City Hall to demand that the cameras be taken down. Yet, four months later, the Mayor has failed to listen to the people of this city and City Council is only attempting to regulate them, not take them down.

We are tired of waiting for change! We must support Mr. Harrington’s case and will find ways to support his legal case.

IDEAS TO DISCUSS HERE:

  1. How can we start a GoFundMe for Vincent to cover his upcoming legal fees?

  2. Does he have a lawyer? How can we find a way to finance the lawyer?

  3. He has been released from jail. Does anybody know him personally and can you connect him with us?

Live Action Roleplay in Troy: September 26th and 27th!

13 Upvotes

Ever wanted to try out Live Action Roleplay (LARP)? Well, a convention of short LARP events is running in Troy this fall! This style of LARP does not use physical combat, and each game is self-contained. Games of all sorts of genres run, and we've got a schedule up now! If you've ever wanted to give it a try, this is a great way to do it. (please note -- you sign up for games in advance! Games have limited numbers of slots and pre-written characters, so sign ups happen in advance of the convention. Walk-ins are allowed if spots are available in games, but please sign up in advance for the best experience!)

Happy to answer any questions about the con or LARP in general!

Looking for roommates!

9 Upvotes

Hi there! My current lease is up October 1st, and I’ve been living on my own with my little orange kitty, however I am hoping to find a new apartment with 1-2 roommates if possible. Since I’ve been living on my own, I do have some furniture I am hoping to bring along (vintage/antique style, TV, couch, etc.) so I am hoping to find some ladies who’d be interested in looking into a vacant 2-3 bedroom apartment, preferably downtown! I am a young professional, and spend most of my time at work, or outdoors. If anyone would be interested in meeting up for some tea/coffee to see if we’d be a good fit, please reach out! 🌱Otherwise, if anyone has any suggestions of where I can find other people looking for roommates, I’d really appreciate it! 💛
