TURBO JIMBO

Fun winter activities!

Hatchday in one week!

It's January so you know what that means. EVERY SINGLE PODCAST I LISTEN TO IS ON HIATUS. LIKE...LITERALLY ALL OF THEM IM GONNA SCREAM

Quick note for Portland city council watchers. The word for Pirtle-Guiney, Ryan, Smith, Zimmerman, and Clark is not "moderate" — they're "conservative." All six align with the lobbying org that's working to end Preschool for All, SHA, PCEF, PSR, and cut taxes on the rich. The word is conservative.

Green says not supporting Kanal for sake of change but because he has different leadership characteristics and different lenses + experiences. Green invokes his compromise from last year despite disappointment from base. Compromise is not just for the progressives on the council.

Councilor Mitch Green makes stellar point. It’s *always* progressives who compromise. It’s time for “moderates” to compromise.

I'm wet cold and sleepy

Stream was fun. Am happy.

I am once again streaming Railroader. Come watch a dumb lizard play with trains twitch.tv/avern43

It's the first #trimetuesday of 2026. Let's hope in the new year the state gets their fucking shit together and funds trimet

Due to a lack of federal and state dollars, TriMet is cutting multiple key bus lines I take. I can’t drive. I don’t have a car. Not sure what people are supposed to do other than rage against the state legislators who let this happen 🤷🏻‍♀️ Feel free to name and shame in the replies!

It is National Cuddle Up Day! Affirmation Coyote appreciates the wish for their human friends to cuddle with coyotes, but they should set their expectations for this happening way low. www.nationaldaycalendar.com/national-day...

Non-railroad modeling hobbies should standardize on rail modeling scales so that everyone has better access to mixed used models like buildings, figures, and such.

Just now getting to lunch. I am so exhausted

30% of Oregonians cannot or will not be a driver. However, 100% of Oregonians will, at some point, be a pedestrian. Drastic transit cuts--including half of a MAX line--should be a five-alarm fire, but it barely made a dent in the news cycle compared to a 6¢/gallon gas tax increase.

Maybe I'm the weird one but whenever people say "what am I supposed to do if my car is stolen and I have to get to work?" When talking in general about crime impacts, my solution is always "have an incredibly robust transit system so that you can just say 'guess I'm bussing today!' without thinking"

Genuinely realizing I have no idea what the base philosophy of the democratic party is at this point. (Or the Republican, but I knew I didn't understand them for the past 25ish years)

@trimet.org i have a really good idea for your budget shortfalls

Beh. Brain is really loud and chaotic this morning despite my best efforts. Also crazy tired despite a weird cocktail of things that on paper should make sleep impossible

getting subliminal messaging from this person's newspaper on the bus

The martini is on

124 is right behind 113 on the yellorange line

Nice

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

Me when I was back in Colorado

You made it this far. You'll make it farther still. Keep your head down and focus on the steps in front of you rather than worrying about the end of the path. Keep building the shit that matters and reinforcing it from everything else. No way out but forward. And oh can we march. Happy New Year.

Few hundred people out protesting Trump’s invasion of Venezuela in downtown Portland, OR

Ordering the vegan burger but keeping the bacon on it and confusing the shit out of the waiter Dog I just wanna see if your vegan patty is good

Hit it with a bit more of pickle or green olive juice and I think I would. Dirty that shit. Little salt. Little sour

So I've had a martini... It's fine

All posts can be assumed to be from vern or one of the others not feeling the need to specify it's from them. Rosa is R~ Mouse is M~ The Wyvern is Vern/It/it's Rosa is They/Them Mouse is he/him and needs an actual name but for now he is just mouse

R~ Yeah no this would be fine for me

Just played actual tarot (French tarot) and like ...I think france needs to be destroyed

A few hundred people are gathered in downtown portland to protest the Trump administration’s attack on Venezuela. A broad coalition of groups is present. Maybe 350 people here so far.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

day 1 back in nyc and i had a dream that zohran mamdani invited me over for dinner for some reason and served a dish that was basically just a meatball on a piece of naan he called “the big mamdani”

I hate that we just have to sit here and complain about war crimes on the internet because our feckless congress won't act or use their powers. Cursed American life.

The baby

Boyfriend described the MH47 as a Chicago style Chinook (With all the tactical shit and modifications and greebling on it)

KILL JAMES BOND PODCAST SAYS: DEATH TO AMERICA

Joining the war on Venezuela on the side of Venezuela

Oh so we're just going to war. Cool....

Shit keeps going wrong and Wellbutrin is making everything suck more

The rail being used as the border of the pathway with a mosaic in the gauge 😍

Compare this suite of policies to (Portland) Mayor Wilson’s fixation on sweeps, his fight to keep resources away from rental assistance, and undermining social housing by firing the housing bureau director after she discovered a bunch of unspent $ and tried to report it to council.
