RIP Bertolt Brecht you would have loved Boots Riley’s “I Love Boosters”

The real message of Frogger is the dangers of commuting in a city that doesn't have reliable public transit.

If we were a proper country you’d be able to stop into any grocery store and buy a single egg. We deserve egg loosies.

What’s the matter, sweetie? You’ve barely touched your edizione limitata Giro d'Italia di Giovanni Rana: Puglia.

In case anyone needs me during Hobbit prerelease weekend, I’ll be at my LGS telling everyone I play against that Sauron and Tom Bombadil have no business being in the set because they aren’t in the books.

A very happy May Day to my fellow pixel pushers! 🌹💻🎨

80% of being a designer is having beef with shapes

See you nerds on Tau Ceti IV

Color pull from my shower

Swagged-out older gentleman at the shop said he liked my chore coat (a three-year old Target purchase of all things) and I’ll be carrying that with me for a while.

My XOXO experiences and community have been vital in shaping the way I approach my world and work as a too-online creative person, and I still find myself revisiting talks when I feel adrift. What a meaningful archive this is for attendees, and the internet. XOXO is dead. Long live XOXO.

New personal website means new personal website colors

Portland’s hottest club is the Lloyd Center Ice Rink where we’ve got DJs spinning vinyl rinkside

My girlfriend showed me The Lorde/Antonoff PowerPoint last night, and having done theatre I was immediately a true believer because I know a showmance when I see one.

I live in a dense area of N. Portland, and my sense of community has literally never felt stronger, even though I and most of my neighborhood friends live in apartments. Upzoning means more neighbors, and more neighbors means richer communities. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!!

Greenbrier-ing your hidden government installation before it’s even finished is certainly a choice one can make.

PLAYOFF BLAZERS

Running is a great hobby because it really allows you to take your mind off the horrors of the world, and instead focus on the horrors of your slowly decaying body. So calming.

Taking a quick look here, it seems that this field has lines for: - Soccer (with two dimension options for some reason?) - Football - Field Hockey - Women’s Lacrosse - Men’s Lacrosse This is why the Open Cup is the beautiful game at its most beautiful.

Bugs’ pauperganda has convinced me, someone that loathes Hasbro’s cash grabs and the expensive prospecting required to build decks, to start exploring the format! It seems rad as hell and the co-op game store in town even has pauper commander nights! Power & Pauper to the people imo.

Working on taking breaks during my long runs since I’m not training for anything at the moment, which lead to a very tranquil coffee pit stop along the river this morning!

Fellas, wearing your sluttiest outfit on a big warm weather day is not just for the ladies

they just rebranded it. look closely, they changed the copilot button to a sparkly pencil. don't fall for it. install linux

I’m on an email thread for my college improv team’s 40th anniversary celebration, and it has me fully convinced that improv people should not be allowed to have a “Reply All” button.

There’s only once choice, and it’s not even close

I wonder where the cat went

newest Nancy ends with one of the most important panels ever, what a gift from @cashbrowns.bsky.social

I once went to a wrestling show where a wrestler died mid-match, was taken away, and was then resurrected as Jesus himself. He got the pin. Anyway, happy Easter!

My (very restrained, please clap) haul from the recent Criterion sale has arrived!

hello from the Oregon coast

Bluesky following the embarrassing tech tradition of “turning existing features into an unnecessary AI chatbot because of accessibility or democracy or whatever” is actually good because we need to be periodically reminded not to trust companies.

in woke 2 we’re bringing back boybands

hbd red line i luv u

🥰

Opening Day has arrived, so I need to make one thing clear: If I say “go birds” I’m always talking about the Baltimore Orioles and never those degenerates in Philadelphia.

After years of being apart, Utz are now available in Portland. My long nightmare is finally over.

All I want in this godforsaken universe is a little kiss on the forehead and a Jet Set Radio Future re-release.

That ghoul JK Rowling may not see your mean posts about the new Harry Potter show, but grown adults who want their zombified childhood nostalgia constantly regurgitated back to them by a corporation in the form of a soulless transmedia franchise will.

If you’re looking to wholesome alternatives to Harry Potter my I suggest the loving and imaginative world of Warhammer 40K

our guy

You don't need to watch this. The trailer, the show, none of it. You are not a child anymore. There are other stories. Potter may have once been a well of inspiration or joy, but that well is poisoned by the venom of its creator who sees every engagement as endorsement of her war on trans people.

My current favorite vague-yet-disconcerting sign

You gotta commit to staying a creative weird ambitious enthusiastic little freak alongside everything else. Protect your heart at all costs, you're going to need it later too.

the sad reality: your favorite local haunts (that indie bookstore with the queer book club, the game shop that hosts tcg nights, the cafe with local art shows, etc) are always teetering on the edge of closure every single month. just a reminder to show these places love whenever you can.

Be kind to your baristas out there, folks. We’re fighting battles you wouldn’t even believe. (I have a little cut under my thumb nail and it stings real bad)

Sun on my face. Bike under my butt. A kiss from my beautiful girlfriend on my lips. It’s a glorious day in Portland, Oregon.

We must protect Valentina at all costs
