It’d be cool if progressives didn’t point to fat people like “We can all agree this is a public policy failure…”

I wish “obesity” wasn’t used as shorthand for “health issues stemming from a sedentary lifestyle” in these messages. I get that it’s succinct. I get the impulse to bring mainstream readers on board by offering up your preferred policies as a solution to a thing that they think is a problem. Still

Today's postcard from Cyclelogical Coffee

There are far too many cyclists who think that if they're just really good boys and girls on their bike that drivers won't kill them. And that is because they are all victims of an abusive system of car dependency.

A huge problem is that this is the first skeet I've seen on my timeline this morning to reference HR7661 as something other than "this bill". People cannot contact their reps about "this bill" - they need the number. Anyway here's a handy script if you don't know what to say when you call.

using my own art as motivation

Of course isn’t just driving. It’s voting. Working. Travelling. Picking up a package. Applying for credit. Applying for a job. Renting a room. Filling prescriptions. Visiting loved ones in the hospital. Not expired either, but legally invalid.

“I like this layout. There is enough room for the words.”

I am trying Mr. Box.

I’m on the east side now so I can’t keep updating, but I hope this saves someone from getting stuck on SW Madison!

Heads up downtown PDX, the Hawthorne bridge is closed and “It’s gonna be awhile”!

we got a big victory when TriMet said they’d build full BRT lanes on 82nd. But we still gotta fund it to make it happen. Send an email to the legislature if you wanna see those sweet sweet bus lanes transform 82nd Avenue

Cartoonists: new visual aid about tangents and separating your planes just dropped

Morning sunlight hits a pine thicket after the blizzard. Plein air.

😠 Why are you wearing a mask?! 😷 Because I have a cough 😌 Oh, ok That was a confusing 180 but I guess that went well?

working from home is the best because no one but my cats have to hear me yell "THAT'S YOUR JOB" at my email

These fictions degrade us both, computer.

This brings back my musician days. Every guy who went on a tangent about how “girls can’t play jazz” could name one exception who was actually a better musician than anyone else. Sometimes they added, “SHE played like a MAN.”

underrated aspect of this: some kids might get to see special features about how movies are made

This book takes place in the fifties, and is really good at making you believe it. For one thing, the book references the “current” era AND previous ones. Someone’s dress is out of style, someone is reminded of a radio show even though television is the current big thing… The world feels lived-in.

Live theater is pricy to make, but a lot of Portland theaters have ways to attend for cheap(er)! Looks like ART has $5 tickets with an Oregon Trail card, sliding scale $25-45 rush tickets, and a page of other options…

There's a new must-see Lynchian thriller on stage at Artists Repertory Theatre: Racecar Racecar Racecar hops in the car with an unnamed father and daughter on a cross country road trip. As with anything described as Lynchian, something uneasy bubbles under the surface and things get weird.

This country is under some kind of wizard's curse where every 50 years there's a crisis that reminds everyone why it's bad for a small gang of obscenely rich assholes to control everything, and we go ohhh and then we all immediately forget again

There’s a guy in there and every couple of hours he goes to the bathroom or the food court

I can't remember whose memoir said it, but Motown Records existed because of the Detroit public school system and their commitment to musical arts through the 70s.

driving past a really cool crane and some cement trucks on the way to an errand and man the “oooh construction equipment” instinct never really goes away does it

😳🎟️ Yep, that was good. It’s playing through March 1st. You should see it.

When even a Valentine's Day themed Hershey's Kisses wrapper says it

I spent today in the office, but my heart was still renting an e-bike in San Francisco 😍

We talk a lot about meeting basic needs, and YES, that's critical, but it's not the only thing necessary for humans to thrive. We fight for roses, too.

Fund NYC libraries! Tell Mayor Mamdani that you want 0.5% of the city budget for libraries. This is a VERY short form where you can do so. www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic... @nycplan.org

I have left a bad employer due to frequent injury and poor treatment. I need raise $600 by March 4th to cover part of my rent. I'm looking for work that I can physically do. I'm a trans guy and a wannabe artist looking to restart my patreon and seeking job recs in pdx. Thank you for help ❤️

HELLO, FRIENDS! The women's shelter where I volunteer lost almost all of their art and craft supplies last year. I can't fix everything, but I have a big network here, and so do a lot of you, and I'm pretty sure that together, we can fix this. www.thingstogetme.com/2169641a9c163

...when trans ppl tell you they won't vote for Newsom, as a Democrat, your first reflex shouldn't be to berate trans ppl. if you think that way, then you are either a transphobe or a BAD COALITION PARTNER. seriously if you want Dems to win, THEN WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO ALIENATE PART OF YOUR COALITION?

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

finally painted the dumbest 3D sculpt i’ve made to date #art
