Bottom of the 18th. Sisyphus, tired of pushing the rock, is grateful to break up his time in Hell by getting hit with a pitch.

I don't follow baseball but I've been enjoying the Lovecraftian glimpses of it I get here. Like something beyond human understanding has just occured in America.

A rain soaked #caturday in Portland. No outdoor time. Beezy decides to rage nap instead.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

Mutual aid. YES

I'll leave you from Portland with one last video of the @unpresidentedbrass.bsky.social, the unofficial house band of #NoKings

Good evening. We estimate that between 4.2 and 7.6 million people turned out for the No Kings Day demonstrations held around the country on Saturday. This makes Oct 18 very likely the biggest single-day U.S. protest event since 1970. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/second-no-...

Hell yeah

Two little blooms of joy

Talk of carfree streets often assume they're only possible in the Central City; but thanks to visionary politicians, neighborhood advocates and supportive city policy, we are finally seeing plazas extend way beyond downtown. bikeportland.org/2025/10/07/r...

"Ooh-ooh, oftentimes it doesn't feel so glamorous to be me All the right guys promised they'd stay Under bright lights, they withered away But you bloom"

Umm, as warzone-y as it gets in Portland these days. Sorry, King Magat, we're most out here eating açai bowls, doing park yoga, reading books, and riding our bikes/unicycles.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek in Portland: "I will not be approving utilization of the Oregon national Guard. The President does not have the authority to deploy federal troops on State soil."

Neighbor of ours was abducted by ICE. You can give to the gofundme for his wife and 3-year old daughter if you'd like. Also I'm just trying to make a habit of saying out loud and with my real name, on platforms where I'm certainly being surveilled, that ICE can go fuck itself. gofund.me/e741f45a3
