Let's go girls 🎶

Portland, adopt this energy

This is why grassroots campaigns are the way forward! For too long power has concentrated in the hands of the few. For too long power has been taken away us, we prop this system up. Individual donors shouldn’t be able to influence legislation like this. This is what a broken system looks like!

Mamdani’s message is as American as apple pie, and that’s why he drives reactionaries of many different political stripes crazy.

who wants to go on a hunger strike outside city hall with me xoxox dm me

The latest print issue of @streetroots.bsky.social is a devastating read, even if you won’t read every word. 16 pages of items city contractors took during sweeps in the first half of 2025. Data, presented without comment, tells the real, human-centered story of unsheltered Portland homelessness.

Happy new year to Queen Bernie SPECIFICALLY

i would serve her, i would marry her, i would vote for her

my bad track record with dating and relationships comes down to the fact that i give this energy:

"you know people like you are the reason i was afraid to go to school as a child." *neck crack, man dead* i love the gayness of the original x- men movie. that line, mystique's first in the movie, made me so excited and emotional as a kid. i still remember the feeling.

The menswear guy be like

they have done a major story on it

explicitly ethnic cleansing

i am losing my mind over this listing that staged a condemned philly trap house with AI

LOUISIANA: ICE officer pleads guilty to sexually abusing Nicaraguan detainee for Months “while she was under his authority”

more ways to hurt children.

i think what was really compelling about lily allen's debut was the fact that she was bawdy and bold and clever and ruthless — but it wasn't packaged or presented in the ways we were used to seeing these qualities in representations of women in pop. it wasn't about being "angry" or hating men.

/i wish i had a different face/

never forget: the girlysound tapes

very small number of ppl talk about girlysound tapes on here

outlining plot points in places i shouldn't public planning resembling oversharing the line between gossip and men it alone speaks the truth of enough times for us to believe it

anywho, here is an actual poem interactive web thing that jena osman actually *did* write and get coded into a real thing. you can play with dr. zhivago's periodic table and combine elements to generate nonce bits of text from the poetic-chemical reaction of whichever elements and methods you chose

i want to write a poem that is an interactive image just like this, but i would choose my own words and phrases for each color. and many of the colors would be named after something activism/PDX protest 2025 related (like "baby rabbit beige")...

which chalk is your mood today?

RIP to the golden years when neoliberal tokenism meant bad bitches like Puja Patel & Jessica Hopper could hire a buncha queers, a buncha trans ppl, a buncha BIPOC, a bunch of queer trans BIPOC && let us get paid to run in the most radical liberatory direction we wanted to take our pieces on #music.

this year, there really was an objectively correct answer for "the most important album of the year." like if you don't agree it was EUSEXUA, you're wrong.

album of the year is EUSEXUA — which I don't blame many for forgetting, considering the 2024 hype leading up to its Jan. 2025 release. the relatively underwhelmed (inattentive?) reaction to the one and a half sequel albums she released last month— EUSEXUA: AFTERGLOW and a revised (?) EUSEXUA—

I want an official statement from the administration in response to this question: if Americans' houses are stormed by armed, masked men, what can Americans legally do? can they shoot? we need it on the record, definitively and unambiguously.

looking for a job if you are someone who knows my weird ass and think you have something that i could actually do and not be too-weird too-trans too-whatevs for. down to do pretty much anything.

shoutout to noah eli gordon who was a successful poet with dysgraphia and who was very generous with me when i wrote him a letter after reading his work on being a writer with dysgraphia. i wish he was still around. <3 talented dude, gone too soon

here is how bad google has got comapred to what it used to be: for years i relied on a quick google search of a word i knew but had some weird neurodivergent difficulty recalling/placing the exact letters in the right order. i could find most words on my first search.

@mayorkwilson.bsky.social Why are you willing to step in and take action on behalf of one fast food owner's preference for a drive through, but you did nothing to stop PPB repeatedly sweeping our medical supplies and triage tents at the ICE protests over the past year? Shame on you.

@mayorkwilson.bsky.social is happy to help out fossil fuel corporations build shit that WILL cause ecological devastation in the future (the big one is coming!) but mayor wilson is NOT down to help house people with all the funds collected to do so.

"Affordable AI's DIscount Hospital: Revolutionary Treatments for New Plague at Low Low Rates!" #fallout

on "alhamdulilla"

Sarita Choudhury is one of my favorite actors, and I am so happy she is in "Fallout" She makes everything she is in better. She deserves a prestige film lead breakout role (a la Michelle Yeoh in E.E.A.A.O.) to get her the flowers she's due.

Unlike most of the Democrats. I actually have a spine and i'm running for Congress in Oregon's 3rd Congressional district. Jsalfororegon.com

@repdexteror.bsky.social are you kidding? What a performative bunch of bullshit. You just showing up to the ICE building like that for a photo op, on a Sunday at 1pm 🤣Praising ICE too? So sad your campaign “team” have to resort to copy and paste, and pretending to be a progressive. Embarrassing 4 u.

If you, Maxine Dexter, are just going to pretend to protect your community, just stay on the sidelines, I’ll take it from here.

@repdexteror.bsky.social This is a disgusting display of establishment power. This community's suffering is not to be put on display for a photo-op at the expense of the protest community and families suffering detention or worse.

WATCH — @jenpsaki.bsky.social : “Let’s go back to those 10 co-conspirators…” @rokhanna.bsky.social : “Some of them were at parties where you had 13 & 14 year-olds paraded naked… They did disgusting things. The Epstein class needs to be held accountable. Release the files.”

i misread "rehearse your operations before committing them" as "rehearse your opinions before committing to them," and honestly? tea.

Please help ruby!!!

anyway, today I did chalk stuff for @jsalfororegon.bsky.social's primary campaign to replace Rep. Maxine Dexter in congress. D'you guys know about Jessica Salas and her bold campaign to replace Dexter — an AIPAC and corporate lackey establishment democrat — with someone who reflects Oregon values?

|| Solidarity is solace || I may not be the 1st person to say that, def not the 1st person to think through such ideas, but that simple sentence was also an early Chalk Girl favorite. I wanted to remind people that collective action & solidarity with marginalized groups is its own reward/comfort.

Beating Trump means liberating the poor.
