Literally me

9/ That’s right — Jacob Frey wanted a “black friend” to run cover for him. Davis refused; the mayor acted like Davis owed him something for appointing him to the committee, in a cynically transactional calculation that twisted Davis’s volunteer public service into political fealty.

incredibly wonderful to have your cat sleeping so soundly pressed against you that she doesn't even wake up when you go to hold her paw

One thing that’s funny about how we react to stuff like this is how earnest we are. Workers were as likely to think “census? I’m gonna fuck with this guy” then as now. Taking the piss was not invented in the 20th century

So in conclusion, the people hating on Portland are a bunch of lying assholes, and nobody reading this doesn’t already know that but the whole thing was pissing me off so I had to run my mouth about it a little, thanks. /thread

This c+p story has been floating around since 2021. Sometimes it will say it happened in Beaverton, but not always. I don't know when the photo was added but CNN reported that suspect was "described as a White male with long, dark brown braided hair. He wore a multi-colored face mask."

If you are employed & doing pretty fine right now, set aside some money from each paycheck to dedicate to mutual aid asks. Even just $20. Shit is really bad, the social safety net is being shredded, & truly TRULY all we have is each other right now.

At about $300 which leaves 3k.

anybody else seeing dan orban signs where it really doesn't seem like they're supposed to be? i've seen them on two different abandoned properties and a number of my neighbors have taken signs down after they were stapled to their fences

Decided to do #inktober belatedly & am catching up; so far am happiest with the very first prompt

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

just realized the dril drunk driving tweet also works for regular driving

I have only about 200 of this which leaves about 3.1k and need to knock as much of this out before court on the 16th so I don't lose my housing. $danirockasota V: djamiempls

THESE BOOKS ARE MEDICINAL

Well got back from vacation to be laid off in a cost cutting move. So if anyone has any job leads in the content writing/editing/online teaching worlds, would be grateful

it remains really funny that this site was spun up to be a crypto/rationalist platform and then old time weird twitter people and others started moving over here in spring 2023 and ever since management has been mad they're successful but not in the way they wanted

i am uncomfortable that bill's computer is now asking me to scan in my driver's license before i can verify that i am old enough to download a gardevoir

Lost my job this week, so if anyone's looking for a mid-level C#/.NET developer with extensive (non-AI) automation experience, hit me up!

Who needs “cybersecurity” anyway? That shit’s for trans people and furries

I can vouch for Dani and their sweet kiddos. They are working so hard, and this young family is in need to not be put out on the street. Can you help? $danirockasota V: djamiempls www.paypal.me/danirockasota

This bookstore is fucking awesome! Donate if you've got the money! (Also, postcard for only $5!)

No I swear the reason I don't sort my mail is named Circe (definitely not ADHD haha whaaaat)

anyway, reminder that Brando Sando is a mormon in good standing aka he tithes 10% of his income to a church that just announced they filed a brief saying that protecting trans rights infringes on their religious freedom ✌️

Wow... This speaker just said that loneliness is the long COVID of working life, and we need to get back in a room. Buddy, long COVID is the long COVID of working life, and getting in a room together is part of the problem.

Bothers me when people discuss Left movements in the U.S. w/out underscoring the GENERATIONS of repression, surveillance, violence directed at movements. The "Left" is so disorganized is used as a joke but I hardly ever see those same people saying 'THE LEFT WAS TARGETED & DISORGANIZED by the STATE'

A fun thing to do if you can afford it is to give money to someone doing good work so that they both have more money, can do more work, and feel appreciated for doing the good work

We don't say sex work is work because it's a cute slogan. We say sex work is work because sex workers are left out of conversations around labor rights. Sex workers have the right to safe workplaces and legal protections. Sex workers shouldn't fsce discrimination because of archaic morals.

I was proud to represent Sam and his brother in their effort to obtain repairs and beat a notice to vacate. I haven't seen it break through down here, but Duluth is in the middle of a ballot question fight over a first-in-the-state Right to Repair law, and this is a great example of why it's needed

as usual, Margaret eloquently summarizes the thoughts that have been drifting around in my head this week. @margaret.bsky.social

"We're going to have to learn to live with [radical right wing demagoguery with all its associated violence]" is: - An abdication of responsibility. - An abandonment of hope. - A position only available to those who feel safe enough with an ongoing catastrophe to begin the work of normalizing it

"I can’t tell you what’s coming and I can’t tell you that it’ll be okay but I also, really, really can’t tell you that “everything is fucked” or anything like that. I can only tell you that the future will be determined by our actions."

That’s right! Hey, who kept calling these guys?

cant believe that this is the first-ever time that liberalism has been ill-equipped to stand up to fascism. crazy stuff that nobody could have predicted

And every fucking time sex workers tell you, "This law will not solve the problem and also it will make it so much worse for the poor trafficked people you claim to care about," y'all: 1) Don't listen 2) Don't care 3) Don't notice how much worse it makes things for them

One strategy that might discourage public needle use is a safe injection center or two

Constantly moving/attacking our unhoused neighbors ONLY causes more opportunities for this to happen. What we are seeing today is a combination of the Mayor's failed policies on public safety AND housing.

WSJ just retracted its report that the shooter’s ammo was engraved with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology.” It smelled like bullshit from the beginning, and every conservative who ran with it should be shamed into obscurity.

I think about this at least once a month.

If you are a Black woman who was online talking about race and class and gender and politics? Your feed was full of bigots incited by TPUSA and the precursors since social media existed. Bluesky has some folks forgetting what actually happened to BIPOC creators on Twitter
