White people defending ICE and thus the State see their goal of a white Christofascist nation within their grasp so will ignore murder. They are evil.

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks

The husband is a Hoosier graduate, but we are also Oregonians. 🥲

I’ve not seen this film, but I think Lee Van Cleef has an extraordinary and interesting ….face. In A Few Dollars More, I was transfixed when he was on screen. He‘s got this unconventional look and it’s cool.

My Friday night plan, reading “Ancillary Justice“ by Ann Leckie. It’s an original sci-fi story with an interesting writing style. It doesn’t spell things out for you; it throws you right in the deep end of the narrative.

It’s after 4pm and you can still see blue sky! How refreshing.

We've removed the paywall from this guide so everyone can access it. 👇 Stay safe.

Time to ask for removal from the App Store “Elon Musk’s chatbot has been used to generate thousands of sexualized images of adults and apparent minors. Apple and Google have removed other “nudify” apps—but continue to host X and Grok.”

I mean, tbh…. idk, it is kinda gross to stick around there and not even just bc of musk

hey so like we all agree that our AG Dan Rayfield is awesome right!? that man knows how to MEET THE MOMENT. 😍✊🏾🔥

“Nathan Vasquez stopped by the scene of the shooting Thursday afternoon. He said his office was present to assist [the FBI].” Oh really? MCDA wants to assist the gestapo in their cover up? (Gift link) www.oregonlive.com/crime/2026/0...

Heard about the ICE shootings here in Portland from a friend (I had been on the phone). One of my first thoughts, after hoping the folks hurt will pull through, is how strong Mayor Wilson's statement will or won't be. The online statement is pretty milquetoast (new favorite word apparently).

Human beings in America: Have to have credit scores to BUY/RENT HOMES. Human beings in America: To get (positive) credit score, one must use a credit card to acquire credit. And use said credit card by purchasing...things and stuff. (continued)

Hmm… I don’t agree with this take, and some of the replies make good points. There’s absolutely merit in someone staying in the same role for a long time. That’s how deep institutional knowledge is gained. You can grow in lots of ways that aren’t reflected in a job title.

Omg I got an interview at a volcano organization and I’m stupidly excited lol

Noem saying Ross acted "according to his training" is a blinking red light. Any investigative effort from those with subpoena power needs to press on ICE permitting early resort to lethal force. @lilahassan.bsky.social's reporting is crucial & acknowledges it may be out of date:

Not gonna lie, one thing I'm excited about once the husband starts getting paid at his new job, is signing up for HBO to watch Heated Rivalry.

An Oregon lawmaker is warning of ICE agents posing as utility workers. NW Natural and Portland General Electric have published guidance in several languages on how to tell if a person is actually one of their employees.

These fucking politicians need to STOP CONSTANTLY admonishing protestors to be "peaceful" while they are being brutalized regularly by the gatekeepers of the state. You should be up there telling ICE and Border Patrol to be fucking peaceful.

Everybody in this corrupt regime needs to be prosecuted and if they aren’t we simply don’t have a country anymore and rule of law is gone forever

Watching videos of these shootings, I'm struck by how they mirror the kind of gunfire that's common in cop shows--with officers firing recklessly at suspects' cars. Which I think speaks to both ICE's lack of training and the way cop-aganda media can erode our ability to see each others' humanity.

Good morning. I'd like to invite anyone who is interested to make a small gesture of kindness today. It's up to you to decide what that can be. The key is for you to act on the idea. With so much out of our control, we can choose how to be with each other today and every day.

Anyway going to bed now PS🖕🧊

For the last week, I’ve been struggling immensely with insomnia. Will tonight be the night that I can actually sleep? Btw I’ve tried it all. Meditation, comfortable bed/room, meds as a last resort. Still, my brain is just like ⚡️💥🔋🔌🗣️

Ok, we did end up finishing stranger things because frankly we don’t have much else to watch. I think they tied it all up well enough. Still one of my favorite intro songs / title cards ever.

A fun thing to do (kidding kinda) when you have a lot of free time is to login to every account you’ve ever made with a company and updating passwords or deleting accounts. Tedious but satisfying.

I went down a rabbit hole and now have a much deeper understanding about this park. It still seems odd that the city isn‘t more transparent about the bunker, maybe could install signage, etc., and make it more of an actual park.

we need more allies doing stuff like this instead of sharing screenshots of content by white supremacists

30% of Oregonians cannot or will not be a driver. However, 100% of Oregonians will, at some point, be a pedestrian. Drastic transit cuts--including half of a MAX line--should be a five-alarm fire, but it barely made a dent in the news cycle compared to a 6¢/gallon gas tax increase.

Some of the very big things that had been causing anxiety and stress in our household for some time are slowly getting sorted out and it’s a really good feeling. There’s still a few likely big changes in our near future (like a move) but I’m trying to reframe it as something exciting.

It's 2026. If your company is still requiring people to retype parts of their resume, you need to reevaluate.

I've noticed companies are trying to get around saying "multi-task" in creative ways

starting to really and truly burn out on reading job postings. "Tell us why you want to work here!" "Because." That's all I want to type sometimes.

Husband, pup and I took a stroll up Kelly Butte Natural Area today and we were quite literally the only people up there. It feels like a very under-visited park and rather unkempt. It was peaceful though. Poor Kelly, living in the shadows of her brother buttes: Powell, Rocky and Tabor.

To be clear I know Clint Eastwood has had some problematic politics but he’s at least not a Trump supporter and at the end of the day I just enjoy a few of his movies from the 1960s

In my spaghetti western era, looking up western wear on Poshmark like a goddamn poser

logging back off now. my poor brain can only handle so much these days.

The idea of putting up an insane amount of barriers to a needed resource as a way to ensure only “the neediest” receive it is such deceptive BS. Many people of many backgrounds and incomes are needy.

I think that the Washington Post editorial page is extremely destructive and overrides the news side's value. Unsubscribe.

The Washington Post can fuck off.

Have I mentioned lately how stupid the credit scoring system is and that it should be abolished?

I hate that I have to panic hit the "watch credits" button within a few seconds in order to watch credits on some of these platforms. They really should make a setting to change that.

Logically, I know it’s not useful to fret and stress about likely having to move in the next month or two. And yet, my poor brain does it anyway. Should I start collecting boxes? Pack the garage? 🤷‍♀️

My dog has been doing a legitimately great job at being my emotional support animal as of late. She’s the best.

Coming off the heels of watching some of the greatest westerns of all time, and then watching Tombstone (1993) is kinda hilarious. That is the most milquetoast, Disney-ass Michael Bay-esque filmmaking — it was unbelievably cheesy and not in a good way. I’m amazed it has the ratings it has tbh.

I hate the idea that to be a socialist, you must only wear tattered hand-me-downs or else you’re a hypocrite. I wear a lot of hand-me-downs. But I absolutely will not feel bad to spend $ on good quality new items that will last.

I feel like the blockbuster haters must be people who live in cities and don’t realize that in rural areas a blockbuster may have been the only place available to rent movies Hence the more widespread nostalgia that mentions blockbuster…specifically

can’t wait to start out 2026 with more job rejections does wonders for the brain, let me tell ya

I need to find more female fans of cinema to commiserate with. Why are there so many of these white guy film bro types? Why in 2025 does it still feel like mostly a man’s space
