Voting in the most optimal way: on my e-bike at Pine Nursery on my way to play volleyball.

The mixing up of Danish, Dutch and German culture so badly on @jordanjessego.bsky.social this week was really perfect Emily ragebait.

What if, as a little treat for Max Fun Drive, we got a Tom Brokaw dissecting the new Dune trailer? @flophousepodcast.com @maximumfun.org

I’m sorry again but the irony of going from paying taxes to writing gofundme text for my friend being denied cancer treatment is fucking enraging me

Genuinely not sure how we’re supposed to go about our days normally when the President of the United States has threatened to destroy an entire population of people.

My 34 year old friend has been diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. United Healthcare has decided to deny their IVF treatments. I’m fucking screaming.

Louvre-worthy tweet by an InfoWars doofus. The Spaghetti Factory detail is [chef’s kiss].

Things are bad lately, but I’ve decided to hyper focus on beach volleyball so I’ve got that going for me. Is it a bad idea to go full send on a new sport at 34? Probably but I don’t want to hear it!

Now is a bad time to be someone who knows even a little about energy policy lol. We have wasted so many opportunities at a decentralized, renewable energy market and now we’re facing the consequences.

You know you’re a true nerd when you get hit by a car and your first thought (after your adrenaline has dropped) is to look at traffic collision stats for that area to see if other accidents have happened there

I submitted my first public, formal analysis and recommendations on a natural gas company’s rate increase requests this week and I am so proud and so tired 🥲

I grew up and went to school on military bases in the US and abroad. During the first Gulf War, 3rd grade in Germany, they made us wear little pouches around our necks containing emergency contact info in the event of a terrorist attack. Pretty sure folks would have been upset if we were killed.

After 3 years of saying never again- I’m moving in (at least temporarily) with my partner as he really wants to help with pup care. I’m feeling really thankful I know my neighbors who are just more than glad to keep an extra eye on my house while I’m gone. Jane Jacobs lives! Eyes on the street!

I have had this dream TWICE that my partners adoptive parents are actually Barack and Michelle Obama. And Michelle doesn’t like me because I keep talking too loud and startling her. What does this mean?!?!

My sweet baby is on crate rest for 6 weeks for IVDD. Send her good and healing thoughts❤️❤️❤️

Same dude is calling for ODOT’s SRTS budget to be cut lol

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

Me leaving Brookswood going into DRW at night 🫠

Important connection because this is something Tim Walz can do something about bsky.app/profile/swee...

Insane that amongst all the horrifying news I completely missed that we are are now in our “global water bankruptcy” era: news.un.org/en/story/202...

As an energy nerd and someone who generally just has concerns about how the US treats its own citizens (controversial I know!) the power lines in Bad Bunny’s halftime show last night were some top notch political performance art that you literally did not have to speak Spanish to get.

Am I feeling emotional because I just started my period or that I read emails detailing the torture of children, after witnessing 2+ years of children being murdered in real time in Gaza, and then watched a video of children being gassed in my home state? Who can say!

Mayor Wilson needs to expedite the rulemaking for our Detention Facility Fee.

I try not to laud electeds in this era of American politics, but Rep.Omar is bad ass as hell.

There are things I want to say about these people, the leaders allowing this and the social media influencers who platformed them but I’d end up getting more jail time (ie: any) than the man who shot a woman 3 times in the face in broad daylight.

I love having “woke” colleagues so much

Entering our Too Lazy to Manufacture Consent era

All my fucking tax dollars go towards murdering innocent people abroad. Never enough money for free college. Or free school lunch. Or to fix the goddamned roads and the crumbling bridges. Always enough for murder. I am so livid.

Watching my partner watch the game awards (he makes video games) and seeing his excitement over all this nerd shit and it’s bringing me so much joy, I love him so much 🥲🥲

If the multiverse is real, there is realistically a version of me that is a fossil fuel industry lobbyist. I bet she’s having a terrible time, though, so

I’m of the “don’t yuck someone else’s yum, within reason” type of mind but as a day 1 Spotify hater I’m yucking every yum on Spotify Wrapped Day.

I think my favorite part about my new gig is it challenges me to suspend my disbelief in a brighter future without capitalism and bc a reliance on fossil fuels. Which is hard for a Debbie downer like me - but I’m loving it.

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

Who has flown recently? Give it to me straight: how bad is it and how much should I be panicking for my flight to Seattle on Sunday?

Mamdani: "Donald Trump, since I know you're watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up."

I wish I could work a job where I wasn’t horrified and depressed daily, but alas I decided my life’s passion is in public utilities and affordability 🥲

This is such an ass stupid take (why would I expect anything different from bs of bend), and it is unfortunately taking every iota of my self control not to message this woman and yell lol

It’s really hitting me today that the organization that employed me when I first moved to Bend 8 years ago, and gave me the runway to create the beautiful life I have today, literally cannot provide the very necessary assistance needed to other Central Oregonians because of this administration.

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

Where are the 2A people??

Loving the No Kings action yesterday. Here is a SUPER easy thing you can do if you want to keep up the good work: call your governor and Public Utilities Commission and ask for a moratorium on utility shut offs while we’re in this government shutdown.

First time in Vegas. I’ve decided it’s basically just evil Salt Lake City. Still mostly just strip malls, but everyone is mean and every car wants to kill you.

Today is the 15th anniversary of my dad’s passing. He was a huge Pink Floyd fan (some of my fondest memories are listening to Floyd with him). I honestly think the only thing he’d be disappointed in me is that I’m not more radical and engaged.

Portland City Council member Angelita Morillo humorously criticizes Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, leading to laughter from CNN's Boris Sanchez.

A real contrast to the carefully produced event inside the arena.

I just had to have my boyfriend explain to me what a groyper and Helldivers II is. I don’t know which of us felt more shame.

Pivoted so hard they affected the earth's rotation

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.
