bellowing into the abyss with the catharsis enthusiasts of the #PDX Scream Society. a fresh holler every wednesday at 6pm on the eastbank esplanade between OMSI and the Hawthorne Bridge. #portland #community #screamtherapy

you can win without billionaires supporting you you can win without party leadership endorsing you you can win unapologetically standing with every persecuted minority pundits say are too politically toxic to touch we could do everything about this process differently if we wanted to

POV: it’s Halloween and you don’t know any tricks, but you just heard the sound of somebody opening a bag of treats. #portland #halloween #fujifilm

I have a very bad feeling about this...

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

this is what happens when you let all the bullies in school sign up for Model UN… they fuck around acting like wads and ruin the experience for everyone.

I knew there would be a lot of frog stuff at the protest, but I did not really know.

once again, folks: please, PLEASE make sure to complete your timecards after each protest. when accounting has to chase you down, it holds up payroll for everyone.

On Saturday, October 18, ICE agents used a barrage of tear gas, stun (flashbang) grenades, and pepper bullets on demonstrators, leaving the neighborhood street in front of their building filled with gas for at least 10 minutes. More on this and the earlier No Kings rally at portlandmercury.com

I do admit to having napped through a not-insignificant portion of 6th grade history, but if the lessons on WW2 had looked like this, I’m pretty sure I’d remember. #No_Kings #portland #PDX #photography #NoKings

it’s turning out to be a gorgeous day to spit in the face of fascism. #portland #nokings #pdx

why does every “waste reduction” measure executed by this administration feel like i’m watching a dude dressed as a cartoon burglar switching off a bank’s cctv security cameras one by one?

well, that’s discouraging. #Portland #photography

needed some cheering up this weekend. portland always delivers the goods. #photography #portland #fujifilm

A24 just picked up my horror movie spec script.

Portland understands something essential: you don’t show up in business casual to protest a clown show.

smuggled these images out of the city so the rest of the world can see what’s happening here. hard to make out the insurrectionists through the flames and smoke, but still, you can see why our politicians would be terrified.

if you invite me to your wedding, i hereby swear i will: 1.) run interference for you with any of your more opinionated family members. 2.) give solemn, knowing nods to all the official event photographers. 3.) quality test all the signature cocktails at your open bar for you.

one last big picnic before we tuck in the swifts and say goodnight to another gorgeous #PDX summer. #Fujifilm #VauxsSwifts #Portland

me: don’t do anything weird tonight, ok? it’s been a rough week. my dreams: totally, totally, I got you. we’ll keep it lightweight, real casual. generally speaking, how do you feel about giant skeletons? #PDX #Fujifilm

Slightly diminish a book Triassic Park

two rare photos of myself having a lovely time taken shortly before smacking my ass so hard on a rock that I came to a dead stop in a swift current and yelped like a wounded pomeranian. 🪦🍑 #PDX #LazyRiver #tubing #RNIFilms

ticking boxes next to all my favorite portland activities before the curtain falls on summer. had a lovely, lazy Sandy river float with near perfect weather and almost no catastrophes. almost. #PDXsummer #RNIFilms #tubing #lazyriver

if you like stuff like volunteerism, community workshops, and creative placemaking, go introduce yourself to the #pdx City Repair Project. grabbed a couple frames of them with some of the neighbors repainting the Sunnyside piazza last weekend. 👋 @cityrepair.org #IntersectionRepair #Portland

the PDX Adult Soapbox Derby is an unhinged fever dream. #pdx #Fujifilm #MtTabor #summer

sun drunk and happy at the montavilla street fair. July 27, 2025. #MontavillaStreetFair #pdx #pdxYearbook #Fujifilm

PDX, you’re, like, really pretty. happy pride 🫶

just thinking for no reason about how the colloquialism “pull yourself up by your own bootstraps” originated as a sarcastic joke because it is an obviously impossible thing to do, and how everything wrong with America is encapsulated by the ease with which we now casually tell poor people to do it

fuckin skymall ass presidency

also ran into #quesoqueso at the march, who is a minor celebrity in our household and a lovely human, and the experience taught @robothugs.bsky.social a valuable lesson about the risks of leaving the party early. #NoKings #PDX #FuckICE

a few more riot photos from america’s favorite anarchist jurisdiction 🫶 (re-upload with faces obscured) #NoKings #PDX

Portland’s sign game is strong. (re-upload with faces obscured) #NoKings #PDX

a friend raised an excellent point about privacy when sharing protest photos on socials, and although I try hard to compose with that in mind, there were def some recognizable faces in the #NoKings shots I posted. re-upping to rectify with 🫶 to @vagabondvivant.com effigies. #PDX

so while trump was nodding off at his own 45 million dollar birthday party, something like twenty to thirty thousand portlanders (and 7 million others in cities across the country) showed up to publicly wish he’d never been born. #nokings #pdx

Bike Summer kickoff ride today was MASSIVE and so much fun. a lots changed in portland since I first moved here, but pedalpalooza’s vibe is eternal. #pedalpalooza #bikesummer

Another four from today’s #HandsOff Workers rally and #protest march in downtown #Portland. @rcipdx.bsky.social @pslweb.bsky.social #WorldOnFireDept #FiftyFiftyOne #50501Movement #PeoplesMovement #Indivisible

I know the endless pulverizing firehose of terrible news has everyone feeling fatigued, so it’s encouraging to get out and see folks still powering on. Four frames from the #HandsOff Workers #protest today. @rcipdx.bsky.social #FiftyFiftyOne #50501Movement #PeoplesMovement #Indivisible #PDX

snuck off to the may day rally at PSU yesterday on my lunch break and I love the energy everyone’s bringing. looking forward to what I hope will be another massive turnout at the hands off workers march tomorrow. 3.5%, see y’all out there. @pdxoregon50501.bsky.social @rcipdx.bsky.social

Hands Off Workers! Hands Off Unions! Saturday, May 3 Noon at the South Hawthorne Waterfront Park (by the Hawthorne Bridge) * Hear from federal workers, local unions, and activists * Connect with mutual aid groups * Contribute food & clothing to mutual aid

MAY DAY IS TOMORROW FIND AN ACTION NEAR YOU 🌹 🍞 ✊ 🍞 🌹

just me out here on every patch of grass for 20 blocks trying to winter soldier my dog into taking a shit so we can both go home.

lots of delightful conspiracy theory parodies in the feed today, and I 🫶 seeing “jd vance didn’t kill the pope for telling him to pound catholic sand, that’s crazy” responses from the same folks who were like “if comet ping-pong wasn’t doing child pr0n then why do they start with the same letters?”

“so, we want to gameify this and reward ‘success’ by awarding people points that will let them unlock exponentially more opportunities for success. we’re calling it a ‘credit score.’” “oh, like pac-man?” “like pac-man, yeah.” “neat. what happens if you lose points?” “you get eaten by ghosts.”

my little sister did two service terms in americorps. she learned a host of practical and management skills, helped communities build crucial infrastructure and rebuild after disasters, and loved it so much she went back as a team lead. she met her husband there. this is some true bullshit.

people went to space today for eleven fucking minutes and we have to pay taxes.

using turbotax feels like taking a survey where every fourth question is “would you like to give me $20?”

An immigration judge on Tuesday gave the U.S. government a day to show its evidence that Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil should be deported and said she would rule on the government's case on Friday. "If he's not removable, I'm going to be terminating this case on Friday"

portland protests are like little mardi gras parades for your existential dread. #handsoff2025 #handsoffpdx #handsoff

nice to see you out there today, portland. #handsoff2025 #handsoffpdx
