happy trans day of remembrance. you are beautifully and wonderfully made and I will never stop fighting for you. the world is better because you are in it

i don't harbor any illusion that it's even possible to opt-out of every AI, every absurd overreach of data collection and invasion of privacy, but it does feel good to toggle everything off that you can get your hands on, if only out of spite

it’s the same picture

Elevator buttons be like 1, 1A, 1B what is this the Rose Quarter freeway project

ACTION ALERT: Join Portland: Neighbors Welcome in submitting testimony to Portland City Council in support of Councilor Morillo's Fall Budget amendment to fund support, not sweeps, for our neighbors. portlandneighborswelcome.org/supportnotsw...

woah woah woah let’s not be hasty everyone, when was the last time that jeff swickard or the PPA steered us wrong??? now hang on a minute while i take a big sip of my coffee

A whale carcass has washed ashore near Depoe Bay. Wednesday is the 55th anniversary of the exploding whale. @tinakotek.bsky.social has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever. Governor. Don't let the opportunity pass you by 🐋🧨💥

no amount of state propaganda will ever convince me this man is my enemy

anyways here's the platform for 2026

related take here is that I’m not sure moderate dems and republicans will be thrilled with the result they get from pushing the transportation package to the 2027 long session

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

another world is possible beeyotch

bats for BAT lanes

action alert: join Bats for BAT Lanes at the next 82nd Ave meeting where we’ll be making a variety of ultrasonic vocalizations into the mic throughout the public comment period

i don't understand how dan ryan using his public sector email constituent list to tell voters not to vote for the tax levy, a clear breach of the explicit public facing/campaign dichotomy, is somehow less of a scandal than group chat text messages

If bunnies are up Lotka-Volterra model states coyote increase isn’t far behind….gotta get transit funded before that happens

this is what happens when you don’t invest in transit, people: coyotes have to walk instead of taking the MAX 😔

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

only learned Penson (Rose Quarter) left in this piece about Johnson (IBR) leaving *the same week*….. u ok ODOT

CHOTINER: So you asked for a Birkin bag? KOKO: Yes. Possession Bag. CHOTINER: And you had the funds to acquire this? KOKO: No, Professor Purchase Koko Gorilla CHOTINER: That doesn't sound like the funds were justifiable. KOKO: Hostility Interviewer

"i am not trying to be biased, but I notice that wild animals are increasingly hanging out with Whites" is dril

In the Times today there’s an op-ed saying that childless women may have legitimate “private” reasons for declining to give birth. But one reason I have is not private but explicitly political: I want my life to serve as a rebuke to the notion that childbearing is women’s highest or truest calling.

this is what will happen if mamdani makes bus rides free

today on the MAX someone told me I was “dressed like a Depeche Mode song” and I‘m calling on our civic leaders to address the epidemic of Being Truly And Deeply Seen By Complete Strangers that plagues our transit system

can I say something without everyone getting mad at me

NIIMBY (No ICE In My Back Yard)

do we ever survey drivers this way? this is a real question, if you have any examples I wanna see them 🙏

It’s raining at the ICE facility in South Portland and agents on the roof put up a tent. It didn’t seem like ICE could still lose the crowd’s respect but it appears they did.

frankly i don't give a fuck what the owner of two car washes thinks would be best for the future of 82nd avenue. it's not his avenue and he can pound sand

A group of far right assholes have showed up to protest at David Douglas high school after students allegedly pushed back at a formation of a turning point chapter. School is out & they are outnumbered by predominantly Black & Brown students roasting the fuck out of them.

her constituents should call her office and ask her about it

things that count as assault on a federal officer now, apparently: - riding a bike with your bits out on a public street where they can see you - playing a movie theme song on the clarinet in their general direction

“The incurable condition of being a little bitch” vibes

thread good and captures the thing I love most about Portland: that the “libertarian impulse” has, for enough of us, led not to hyperindividualism and atomization but instead to something I think of as “everyday acts of self-governance“ (coined by Movement Generation iirc?)

these fucking big wet bitch loser motherfuckers are not gonna survive the long dark

Burgerville prayer < SuperDeluxe invocation

she said “did I stutter“

Really glad Rene Gonzalez isn't the mayor right now

Journalists in Portland: Try to get photos of gas canisters/munitions, either spent on ground or still carried by DHS. ONLY IF SAFE. Use long lens. Risks unknown, don’t approach. This green smoke isn’t super common. Raised concerns in 2020. Documenting DHS munitions may help accountability later.

“im not owned! im not owned!!”

they hate us and our way of life
