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.

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

in 2023 when I was organizing parents against our archbishop’s transphobic new school guidelines, one dad asked how loud I thought it was prudent for us to be, given how punitive the Archbishop is. I was like “loud enough that all the trans/nb kids at your parish see it” and he was like “…. oh”

HELLO I WAS A QUEER TEEN IN THE 1990s AND THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST SOCIAL TRANSITION NOW ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST "LETTING" US BE (at the time, for me) GAY OR LESBIAN THEN. They all rest on the belief that it's inherently better to be straight (then)/cis (now) and that's BS.

I realize this is far from the worst thing about DARE, but as a cartoonist it really irritates me that they put the word balloons in the wrong order.

I had this conversation in COLLEGE, when a (small-town white Midwestern) classmate said that “slavery MAYBE affected their GRANDPARENTS.” I explained that legal segregation was just ending when my parents were our age. They really don’t teach this properly in a lot of schools.

When you have a cleaning task you’re really dreading, set the timer on your phone for 15 minutes and clean for that long only spoiler: you’ll probably get it all done, it’s just that often it’s easier to get started when the task has a definite length

Every time someone veers to the side at the sound of faster footsteps behind them, I’m like “🥹 consideration! cooperation! so beautiful!”

Yo, read this, it's great advice. In all my comics I keep all of the colours and lines on seperate layers for foreground, midground and background (and sometimes an extra for far distance). Makes it real easy to adjust a single plane if I'm not getting the contrast I want.

🕺 🪩 💃 That was such a fun weekend. Thank you, San Francisco!

😎 It’s me, the jet-setting queer cartoonist, wrapping up a sweet weekend in San Francisco 🫣 It’s me, the lady in the corner of the Hostel dining room who’s furiously wet-wiping the inside of her bike bag because she forgot a bonbon in there the night before #IContainMultitudes

Are you in San Francisco for the weekend? Do you suddenly feel inept at walking down the sidewalk and ordering a sandwich? According to SOME, this means your city is “not a REAL city” 🧐

I can't stress enough that Obergefell was decided in 2015 and, while clawing that back is 100% a goal of the reactionary movement, the shift to full-time trans panic was a DIRECT result of "losing" the gay marriage war. The anti-trans movement is just a bunch of rats that found a new ship.

This is a really good thread, with some really innovative and believable reasons someone might need a wheelchair, even in Star Trek. I think number 6 (this is a temporary situation) has the strongest reasoning over any type of scifi story. But they’re all good.

As always, donate if you can and boost if you can't. Detainees are walking out in t-shirts and pajamas in the MN winter, unable to speak English, with no money, I.D., or resources, and Haven cares for them. gofund.me/608979105

I'm just going to say a thing. What a person looks like is not reflective of their soul. Insulting the appearance of bad people who do bad things as an outcome or indication of their rotten hearts perpetuates the notion that conventional beauty = virtue, a myth that's led to untold human damage.

Countdown to Pride in Panels! There are workshops, readings, and events all weekend, so plan accordingly 🌈 📚 🪩
