My flight has been canceled, I’m too exhausted to rage adequately. Now all we are missing is my bag. Do yourself a favor and avoid flying.

Some of us have been in Portland long enough to remember the Odnarotoop video promoting Japanese tourism to Portland…

Again this is by far not the most pressing thing (I say while stuck in an airport) but can some fucking billionaire business guy talk to the research and marketing departments at their companies and learn how important access to census data is and tell the president?

I hope you’re all happy, for I have paid with my soul

If people thought I was mad before, wait until they see what happens if this fucker’s shutdown keeps me from seeing my grandma in the hospital.

I normally keep Bluesky off my phone until after Shabbat ends but my flight is delayed 6 hours and they told me not to leave the airport in case it gets moved earlier. I JUST WANT TO SEE MY GRANDMA WHO IS IN THE ICU I AM GOING INSANE SITTING HERE WAITING FOR NEWARK TO GET ITS SHIT TOGETHER.

THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!! Lets do the things that will get and keep people stably housed!!!!!!

Frankly women aren’t ruining enough things. Let’s ruin sports betting. Let’s ruin underwear companies that don’t account for people having butts. Let’s ruin trucks so big their fronts are taller than our heads. Let’s ruin the prison industrial complex. I believe in us!

Arguing with the comments section in the NYTimes because I think it’s wildly unreasonable to live in a neighborhood and expect complete tranquility, and I believe that kids deserve to be able to be loud outside in their yards/streets/driveways during the daytime.

NEWS — The Oregon Department of Human Services has issued 100% of November SNAP benefits, per an alert on their website. I've received reports that the funds have already hit recipients' EBT accounts. www.oregon.gov/odhs/news/Pa...

does anyone want a Portugal The Man ticket for Rev Hall tonight or tomorrow please get them off my hands

My grandma is in the ICU and Newark, JFK, LaGuardia, Philly, Portland, and Seattle are all on the list of airports that are going to get flights cut starting tomorrow. I'm losing my fucking mind.

It’s bait and I’m not going to click on it, but when someone is asking if women/“liberal feminism” ruined the workplace what they’re saying is they’re a sex pest. Because there is not anything in workplace culture today that could be called feminism other than not letting men be outright horrible.

I live for the drama

I’m not going read or listen to this because I care about my time, but whenever I see takes like this I know it’s by some white man who has never bothered to do any self reflection. I know this because I’ve worked in male-dominated offices and HOOOOOBOY is it not the women ruining things.

Deaf people exist. Stop posting videos with no captions if you aren't going to tell us what they're saying. In fact, stop posting them for hearing people, too. I can read faster than I can watch a video, so just tell me and stop wasting my time.

Reading “From the Puritans to the Projects: Public Housing and Public Neighbors” by Lawrence J. Vale and this passage hit me like a brick given the current context in Portland: “In New England, as in the England the Puritans had left behind, the poor laws attempted to limit or equalize the…

I’ve gotten word that Mamdani was playing music from Dhoom after his victory speech and I had no idea how much I needed to learn that the mayor elect of NYC is a Dhoom fan, but I really really did.

People don’t want someone to tell them how bad their lives are and whose fault it is. They want someone to present an exciting vision of what could be and how to get there. They want someone who understands and loves what is great about their community.

I couldn’t love this image anymore. A mayor elect on a subway surrounded by a diverse group of people with a huge smile on his face. A tribute to a candidate who genuinely loves his city. So excited for you, NYC!!

Those of us with what would now be called almond moms had pantries full of SnackWells in 1998 lol

My grandma has been in the hospital coughing up blood clots for 24 hours, the doctor has not even fucking showed, and the nurse told my mom to just look at the test results on mychart and put them into chat GPT and I’m about to hop on a plane to NJ to fire everyone in this hospital.

Called my grandma in the hospital and she wanted to talk about how much she loved the photos I posted on Instagram of my MIL’s dogs. Seems like she will be in the hospital a few more days, and I will be nonfunctional on my couch until I know more.

I have never needed to collapse with my face on a dog as badly as I do right this second. There is no substitute for this and I don’t know how dogless people function.

I know our election isn’t the most exciting one in the country right now, but I hope all you Portland folks are voting yes on that parks levy today!!!

He could be walking down the street, I wouldn’t know a thing.

Ground turkey or chicken with canned crushed tomatoes, onion, garlic, olives, capers, bell peppers, zucchini if you’re fancy. Serve over quinoa, pasta, or whatever grain you have.

Wilson is in fact trying to “arrest our way out of homelessness.” His overnight shelters are not the housing our homeless neighbors want or need. They are just an excuse to conduct “sweeps” which make it harder for people to access housing bc their meds, IDs, and belongings get stolen and destroyed.

My 88 year old grandma, who is the primary caregiver for my 91 year old grandpa with heart failure, is in the middle of an extremely scary and unexpected health episode and I don’t know what to do so I guess I’m asking for whatever vibes/goodwill/prayers you can muster.

Incredible sibling dynamic happening with the dogs we have been sitting this weekend - brother with no sense of personal space, sister absolutely sick of his shit.

Doing the Jennifer triathlon today - e-biking, swimming, walking.

What gets left out in the discussion of e-bikes is how great they are for people like me who weren’t confident on a regular bike. My e-bike gives me so much freedom and it’s so much more fun and convenient than driving! I wish more people had access to safe bikeable infrastructure.

Every time my husband makes me a vegan egg sandwich he puts the ketchup in the shape of a heart ❤️

Your reminder that throughout history immoral, cruel, and ineffective policies have enjoyed broad popular support. Just because people like the idea of a thing does not make it good. When we see cruelty and injustice, we should fight it even if others celebrate it.

Still thinking about Chelsea on Selling Sunset delivering what is my new favorite sick burn, “we need to get you fruits, vegetables, and a map.”

www.opb.org/article/2025... People don’t want shelter. They want housing and housing assistance.

The two sentient balls of fluff with thousands of years of breeding to be pre-modern alarm systems that I have staying at my house right now just found a mirror and they are MAD at what it showed them.

When I was a kid my mom used to offer to put my candy in a bowl for easier access, and then hide half of it for herself in a high up cabinet. If you do this to your kids, know you are condemning them to a life of not knowing what Tupperware is the right size for their leftovers.

The email I sent my councilors (with alt text) is below if anyone needs additional inspiration.

This fucking sucks. Helmi is an expert in social housing. We have the opportunity to do something great by adopting a housing-first model that is proven to get and keep people housed. Instead the mayor is throwing a tantrum because he wants to criminalize homelessness instead.

Hey Portland, I just sent this to my councilors*. City Council has oversight authority they can wield if they want it. Let’s get some pressure pointed at EPG to get this started and let’s get some answers from the mayor. * minus Dan Ryan because he’s worthless

I saw Hocus Pocus in the movie theater as a child and spent way too long thinking that saying someone was a virgin was the same as saying they were stupid.

Just sent the angriest email to Mayor Wilson and you should too.

On top of the inhumanity of his policies, Wilson has not worked with service providers, courts, or legal experts with one day to go before the police start enforcing the camping ban. All he is doing is putting more roadblocks between homeless people and housing. www.opb.org/article/2025...

Last weekend I was biking and a group of teen girls screaming and laughing ran right into the street in front of my bike. I was able to stop because I was going 16 mph on a bike and wasn’t distracted. A lot of kids are going to be acting like those teens today - if you can, please avoid driving.

I love kids. I have two of them. They’re amazing. However, kids are the absolute least self aware, clumsiest little puffins on the planet. Please don’t drive tonight unless you have to, and if you do drive, drive super slow and pay 100% attention at all times. Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 💀 #PublicHealth

Really excited to spend a weekend with these little Ewoks. Happy Halloween to me! My costume is “lady covered in Lhasa apsos.”

This fucker built absolutely inadequate shelter that only operates at night, doesn’t provide privacy, and doesn’t meet the needs of our homeless population explicitly so he could have an excuse to criminalize them, destroy their possessions, and make it harder for them to survive. It’s disgusting.
