Feeling this song more and more daily

New bid day. So glad to not be doing my 11.5 hour BRT line this time.

Just saw that on the Evergreen overpass in Vancouver, WA they have installed signs saying placing signs on the fence is illegal and will be removed 🙄

Kash Patel seen "investigating" the damages to the whiskey parlor at the Multnomah Athletic Club. Several rare bottles of bourbon found missing.

AmeriKKKa at it again.

"Feeling like you're at the bottom but you never try to climb" Real

Car next to me at the medical center listening to the most transphobic bullshit ever on the radio. Whoever is on the radio as a talking head saying it is "heroic" to not allow a trans person into the bathroom/locker room that they identify as and insinuating violence towards them is a monster.

Today was shift bid at work for the summer, and I told my fellow low seniority coworker "it is what it is for the next couple of years". The bid monitor then responds "couple, try ten, I am XX in seniority and it is still that way, just a different flavor."

This has been a year of reading for me, and it started off with the great Dungeon Crawler Carl series, I realized that I needed to bring in more nonfiction to ground present day pressures. I saw @squidtips.bsky.social interview w Christopher Mathias and had to grab it at @whiteoakbooks.bsky.social

Watching what happens in America day in and day out, the biggest red flag at this point is the money from corps and special interests. We need SERIOUS financial reforms as it comes to Citizens United, PACs and dark money, and electeds stock trading/crypto/whatever prediction markets are.

Obsessed with this song by Ok Goodnight.

Best $5 find of @swordsjew.bsky.social book at the closeout of Barnes & Noble warehouse in Portland. Excited to finally check it out.

It makes me so angry to know that my life growing up was paid for by the dollars of the war machine of Lockheed martin and their nuclear weapons programs. My dad died from the radiation he was exposed to in the labs. He chose to work there though, and I don't forgive that either.

Being a bus driver and having people come in to my box threateningly while driving makes me really think I need to get back into jiu jitsu.

I have a free ticket to tonight's @damag3.bsky.social show at The Get Down. Join in

Thank you to everyone who supported us on our 1-day strike yesterday! Our picket is now over and supporters can return to reading ProPublica stories. Sign our petition to stay up-to-date on our campaign: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

I have an extra ticket for free to a friend who would like to see @damag3.bsky.social tomorrow night in Portland at The Get Down with me.

That moment when you realize no matter what you put into someone, if they are just an energy vampire you gotta just walk away.

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

The war crimes and blanket US-Israeli genocides have to stop immediately. The only people winning from this are defense contractors while the rest of the world suffers.

If there is anything that still brings joy in these dark times, it is the Tingleverse.

The secret sauce of good transit, more than rail links to new suburbs, is “does everyone live close to a reliable N/S bus AND E/W bus?”

Saw the dog that went with my ex at dog day care in the window for the first time for two years. He saw me and was so excited, but that was as close as I could get and it broke my heart. At least Oreo got to play with his old friend for the day.

"We believe it’s time to consider something that would have seemed radical only a few months ago: Washington and Oregon need to talk about how to peacefully achieve more independence from the United States of America." #Cascadia cascadia-journal.ghost.io/its-time-for...

What's it like unionizing your Starbucks? Nick, a shift supervisor in Missouri, shares their store's story about what motivated them to get organized and create the change they wanted to see at work!

How Palantir, not Anthropic, led US bombs to kill 175 civilians, mostly 7-12yo girls, in a school in Minab, Iran on Feb 28. How embedding automation - not LLMs in this case, just image processing and sensor fusion - in military workflows mutes human judgment, causes errors, & diverts accountability.

So much cope from the terminally online crowd about Kat Abughazaleh's campaign and wishcasting of "If only she got the DSA" or "If only she went on X". She ran a good campaign, but needs more name recognition and had a ton of dark money against her. Learn and run again and stay relevant.

You know we are fucked when Joe Kent has to quit something. apnews.com/article/trum...

Chat, we are so cooked.

The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now. They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!

I love when people try to Elon post responses to me, because the block button is a complete sentence.

Not sure if AI slop, but we are in the end game.

WALLACE: Why are we at war with Iran? CHRIS MURPHY: Great question. The simplest explanation might be the one they gave 24 hours in that they've kind of tried to backtrack from since -- that Israel made us do it.

It’s cool that this generation gets to find out the answer to “what would you have done when we started interning the Japanese?” and “what would you have done when we invaded Vietnam?” and “what would you have done in Watergate?” all at the same time.

First day back to work after bereavement leave. Much needed time off reflection, a lot of emotions, and dualities being reckoned with

Seeing Matt Pryor play tonight and his kids are opening hit me in the heartstrings. Their band, Small Uncle, is really great!

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

The last thing I could do for my father before he passed was bring donuts to him from Portland. It was one of the last things he would ever eat. Grief just is cementing these things in my head right now.

Watching my dad go through hospice just makes me angry that death with dignity and physician assisted death is not legal in a lot of this country. I can euthanize my dog for lesser ailments, but I can't honor my father's wish to not be like this????

Saw this in Discord and it’s amazing

Willingly drinking McDonald's coffee at home feels like elder abuse at my parents house.

Just witnessed a beautiful interaction at gate E2 at ATL. A wheelchair attendant brought a man to the gate, and then got him McDonald's with his own money. The elderly man tried to tip the attendant and he declined and told the man to pay it forward.

"Deadly Dull" by Movements hits extra hard as I travel back to my parents with my dad starting hospice. Hoping for peace for my family in this stage.

Toumani Blazers glass in March?! Sign me the fuck up

Picked up Triangle Agency that I hope to DM. Looks really exciting but also very chaotic.

Dune speaking truth 60 years early.

Philadelphia, you are the best
