It’s the beginning of the end, finally. 🎉

Here’s who is moving to the Oregon Zoo as Nora moves to Wisconsin: Kallik, at three years old but reportedly already as big as Nora, if not in fact taller when up on his hind legs.

Reddit says check your #SNAP. My full allotment indeed just dropped into my account.

Also from my “on this day” widget, my very good post after *last year‘s* election night.

Happy second anniversary to my conniption over a study that read autistic camouflaging (a word it never uses) as “functioning”. #ActuallyAutistic

Today’s adventuring was visiting Silver Falls State Park with my cousin and aunt

Someday maybe #Flickr will aolve all its iOS app issues. I just share sheeted four photos from Files to Flickr and while the UI was basically yanked from the process in-app, the location I chose for them was not on the photos after they uploaded.

I don’t have any good photos of the birthday ice cake before she tore the embedded salmon off because the barriers were up so the keepers could be close and she could get sung to.

I'm starting to prefer the less moderate path.

If I ran a sandwich shop, I would absolutely be reordering the menu by range and lethality.

Oh ihhh hi Pants. No you’re totally in focus don’t worry about it just keep trying to eat the phone.

At some point I will have the wherewithal to cull through my 400 photos from today but here’s probably the last photo of Nora I will ever take, since I doubt I’ll get back to @oregonzoo.bsky.social before she departs for @henryvilaszoo.bsky.social in Wisconsin. #PDX #Portland #Oregon #PolarBear

Turns out one of my @bsky.app mobile web issues (sliding back and forth) was actually the length of one of those “cause of death” labels, so I had to unsubscribe and now I don’t know how any of you are going to die.

Yeah I think I’m okay with not having much of a social circle…

I appreciate that one bar in St. Johns opened two hours late today so they could instead go do community protection at North Portland schools’ release times.

I could risk no longer using up all of my remaining parent’s money.

Jury nullification is good and it's a good sign for America's path out of authoritarianism that juries are recognizing their power to nullify.

FDR would've felt incredibly vindicated by all of this. A core proposition of the New Deal was that the country's ruling class was incapable — at best — of defending the Constitution, and that it was up to a dissident vanguard of intellectuals, in conjunction with workers and farmers, to do it.

some bike advocates are spreading this around and planning to roll out to help monitor the area when school gets out.

Yeah this was a real one. Three and half hours, 402 photos on the DSLR.

The transit trip back from a victorious excursion to @oregonzoo.bsky.social to say goodbye to Nora on her birthday brought to you by the regulatory qualities of The Whole Bowl and 2025’s surprise The Crabs record.

The arc of history is a foot-long, but it bends towards justice.

People thinking they’re inventing network television after 10 years of destroying network television, I am going to walk into the fucking ocean.

Katie Daviscourt — a J6er — claims she’s riding with ICE in Portland. Nothing says "journalism” like tagging along with goons while they arrest people. 🙃

One can hope.

It takes a lot for me to be horror-struck by anything a major media outlet writes or does these days, given the absolutely appalling state of journalism, but after what I have seen from the NYT, the Economist, FT and Condé Nast today, I just want to say,

We tried this end of 19th century and it was not a good idea, yeah

Hm maybe the alt text bot is lagged.

There was at least one report on r/Portland early this morning that got deleted, weirdly for violating the rule against duplicate posts, when there wasn’t another post. It had said Feds seemed to have been staging by the Safeway.

SAFEWAY: EAT FASH

I’m risking nervous collapse from autistic burnout @oregonzoo.bsky.social but… #PDX #Oregon #PolarBear

I might have made a terrible mistake…

Today’s windy day brought to you by the bus shelter in #StJohns where @trimet.org still has not replaced the windows. #PDX

Maaaaannnn

man, i love my cat so much. little gremlin beast, living in my house on purpose. we can’t speak the same language but we love each other anyway. he’s just so happy to be with me and he gets so mad waiting for us to sit at the table so he can eat his meals at the same time as us.

logging back on to discover the jury did not return a verdict in the sandwich guy case. what the fuck lol

How bad is The Old Guard 2? I remember nothing about the first one.

guys I’m sorry but have you looked through Getty images for yesterday 💀

Actually, Frankenstein’s the name of the doctor. What you’re thinking of is just sparkling monster.

I wanted to add another testimonial to my homepage and discovered that the 1990 article in the @nytimes.com about playing a Henry Moore sculpture at @sunyofficial.bsky.social College at Purchase as a percussion instrument was online.

“Clifford Stott, a professor of social psychology at Keele University south of Manchester, encourages police to take a friendlier approach to mass gatherings, arguing that heavy-handed tactics actually encourage groups to align themselves against police, inciting more violence.” lol yes, of course

oh my god they actually did it lmao

Hey @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social while you’re assembling your transition team, my awesome husband @edidin.bsky.social is available and has worked with women and gender-expansive people, advocating for ATIs, supportive housing, and other resources for folks impacted by the carceral system.

It was above the mountains in about two minutes. I never realized how quickly the moon moves (or shall I say the Earth).
