it’s key time! @cambp.bsky.social

Former Housing Bureau Director Hisserich’s memo raises serious flags about the transparency of administration leadership and the nature of her dismissal. 🧵

housing advocates have always said affordable housing rents are too high. even the lowest rents at 30% ami means you have to make exactly 30% ami for it to be affordable—social security isn’t even close to that. we’ll see more of this as voucher budgets get cut!! love it.

@cambp.bsky.social and i are closing on a house this thursday and i can’t stop fantasizing about having my own washer and dryer, also a goddamn garbage disposal.

ugh waking up for work after five days off is not the move

i changed my birth control an i think it also changed how perfume smells?

idk if it’s this pope specifically or if the overton window has shifted so far but the pope is actually making sense.

this is so fucked. the surveillance state is bad for everyone.

i look forward to bookmatch every year~

if we want to get serious about taxing the rich we have start taxing capital gains.

Josh Naylor: "I can't wait for Opening Day. I honestly wish spring training started tomorrow. See the guys again and the fans."

being asked to smile by the 711 guy carding you when you’re trying to by a six pack of rainer is a special kind of hell.

i’ve been a longtime stand up comedy hater and now i get to feel extra smug thanks to a behind the bastards episode that talks about how the guy who invented stand up comedy was a nazi! i feel so vindicated.

actually it’s not! it’s quite material and there are many advocates, architects, front line staff, developers and community land trusts that are already holding parts of a social housing framework, it’s now a matter of scale and reducing barriers. being more strategic with the resources we have.

their best week was to shelter only 39 people?!

oh we’re using lived experience to talk about business owners? jfc

certified dog hater here but dogs lunging at you is not a homeless issue?

excited for the mayor wilson rivalry to start between portland and seattle. it’s not looking good for portland.

why is our rate of homelessness increasing? because we’re not funding eviction prevention in order to continue this shelter farce!!

“we continue to see tents again and again” well are sweeps putting people into housing or not?

something profoundly broken about people weaponizing their children as a reason that we should continue to invest in sweeping the homeless. Why is sheltering your children from having to see poverty and injustice more important than just building a policy where we eliminate poverty and injustice?

the hard on these men of a certain age have for the mayor is truly staggering

elana is so cunty telling everyone to stop clapping.

Sweeps are violence and it really is that simple. If you live in Portland and have a heart in your body please take the time to testify in person/zoom tomorrow or in writing and ask our city council to reroute money away from sweeps, which do not reduce homelessness. www.portland.gov/council-cler...

Portland is literally killing people rather than help them. The cruelty is the point.

nothing is more soothing to me than a cup of cocoa after i’ve been fucking around in excel tables all evening.

Testify to stop the sweeps before Wednesday!! > Scroll to item 8 > Testify on this item > Submit written testimony > Support with changes > Write a comment supporting Councilor Morillo’s amendment to defund sweeps and fund social services www.portland.gov/council/agenda

You can't end homelessness without housing. Portland's Mayor removed the expert leading us toward proven solutions (social housing = what works in Vienna). The City Council voted unanimously for this work. Our community deserves better. Take Action: tinyurl.com/5acu63bj

this is the leadership we need to actually address homelessness in portland! thank you @councilormorillo.bsky.social and @councilorgreen.bsky.social www.opb.org/article/2025...

I love for everyone that this is now the baseball app

where does mayor wilson think homeless people are supposed to go after they get into a shelter?! this is incredibly shortsighted. we need to be working towards a housing future with affordable rents and long term stability.

This sure looks a lot like the Mayor ousting an expert on long-term housing solutions to force internal administrative support for his camping ban (sweeps).

‘that’s enough slices!!!’

bigots collectively crashed out at the chance of losing power and tore the country apart. that's what happened. you don't gotta accept a little nibble of the blame for that to relate to mfs.

a guy at the bar was making misogynistic comments about me and i was the one who was almost thrown out because i called him a cunt and told him to shut up.

The AWS outage today is a good reminder that there is no "cloud", there's just somebody else's computer.

also ya girl was asked to be on two different housing org boards last week?!

it was always too much to hope that mariners would sweep the blue jays but i’m still mad.

I may be canceled for saying this, but: Seattle mariner

good job bryce!

Speaking of the mariners salmon run: I’m very happy that humpy finally got a w. THAT BEING SAID, humpy shouldn’t be losing all the time. There should be an Atlantic salmon that’s a constant loser. Pacific salmon supremacy.

damn, i was really pulling for the phillies

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

work has me carrying around two computers because they suddenly care about cybersecurity and i want to die

The coming national horror is that if Portland's *truly* minimal level of protest justifies federalizing and deploying troops, they can and will be federalized and deployed anywhere the President wants and whenever he wants.

Got so upset about the mariners that I made a big pot of stew

Trump better give Dolly one of his medbeds or it’s on him

dick-matized

i didn't realize "commuter school" actually meant "completely inaccessible to students who live off campus and work a full time job during regular hours”

after not being able to wear my favorite perfume since i bought the larger size because it didn’t smell right, it now smells like it did before and i am beside myself with joy.
