“Come here you little bitch,” my wife running outside with a broom to shoo the European starlings off from swarming the suet

How it must feel to find a random $106 million on the ground at the housing bureau

When it feels like no one’s got me (there’s a freight train blocking SE 12th), I know the broken Bob Stacey Overcrossing elevator’s got me

Baggu x @trimet.org collab incoming

Couple goals

I don’t care what that fucking mouse says, you should not be signing up for a credit card while standing next to a roller coaster called “Slinky Dog Dash”

January: 121 bike miles over 21 days. I was out of town for 10 days, so not too bad 🧵 1/12

Contact cross-country skiing and then maybe I’ll watch it

Portland’s east waterfront after we demolish I5 next year

They don’t make dental floss like they used to anymore

Bikeable Portland

Just witnessed this old guy sitting in front of me on the plane watch (and rewatch) a Snapchat reel(??) of some questionably young woman wiggling her bare toes in the lap of someone under a restaurant table, before getting a LinkedIn notification that he switched to

Going outside and telling the utility workers that the electrical pole they just replaced was a favorite among the local woodpeckers

Employer took out local Metro/Mult taxes in 2023. Stopped unexpectedly in 2024, and I didn't notice. Didn't know or understand the process for quarterly estimated payments, and I get fined over it. Paid an accountant to help me sort it out. It's 2026, and I receive a refund for overpayment

Pretty bold move to release a persistent “what’s up?” at the top of my @bsky.app screen, today of all days

Just walked in on @lanatheflier.bsky.social playing Fallout 4, and she said she was busy building single-stair apartments for her settlement with on-site bike parking What level of urbanism is this

“It’s just a marketing issue,” I say to myself as I almost get hit by a driver rolling a stop sign, on a neighborhood greenway with little more than faded paint on the ground, in the most asinine route across town I’m cobbling together on the fly

Front door bike parking at @cstpdx.bsky.social tonight to watch Twilight. I’ve worked hard to get to where I am today

Has anyone successfully just given up on having a phone number entirely

Vote for me for mayor and I’ll put a ramp at the bottom of the Tilikum bridge so you can see how high you can go on a good day

Anyone want a free one of these things

Updating and restarting all of my wife’s devices at gunpoint

I love when kids at the airport haul around their own backpacks to be like everyone else, and then they sit down and open it at the gate, and it’s full of stuffies Hell yeah, you should get priority boarding for that one

When they ask what radicalized me you can tell them it was getting delayed at YYZ for well over 12 hours, which is nearly the amount of time it would’ve taken a reasonably speedy bullet train to travel between Toronto and Portland

Every single Portlander should read this, remember their names, remember these organizations Of a course an idiotic racist asshole would also be typing this in 76pt font with their brightness all the way up in the front row

Waking up at 4:30 AM to catch a flight because we have no high speed rail infrastructure. Hailing a driver on the ride share app because we have no reasonable local transit options to get to the airport. No one on the app will pick you up this early so you’re forced to wake your wife up to drive you

4k miles on the odo waddup

Radicchio and celery root thriving in the garden

Just saw @drmitchpdx.bsky.social at the movies and we’re watching the same thing

Someone pulled into the yellow curb zone, cones toppled, as I was just locking up my bike. Told them they couldn’t park there, but they did anyway Only physical infrastructure prevents this behavior

Go to trimet.org/servicecuts to learn more about the service cuts, share your feedback this month and help us shape the future of our transit service. The survey closes Jan. 31.

If someone tries to show me where their bathroom is when I visit for the first time, I always tell them it’s okay I already checked out the vent stacks on their roof from the street

7th 6-6 split for council president

The only discourse I have to add here is that @eGovPdx8714 is a bad YouTube handle for easy discovery Searching for “Portland government live” doesn’t even return this account at all

If you and your main circle isn’t frequently discussing how to upgrade the thermal boundaries in your knee walls then it’s time to elevate your circle

@mayorkwilson.bsky.social did you know you could just do this

My camera roll is filled with blurry photos zoomed in 15x of all the pretty birds I see, and no one can ever stop me

Ah, yes. Good news everyone, just flip that 2025 calendar over for this year. It’s the exact same.

Getting punish passed on SE Clinton by a speeding car in front of a "bikes may use full lane" sign, "neighborhood greenway" sign, bike bus sign, painted bike sharrow, and a painted bike bus box This city really will do everything except just keep cars off the greenways

Asking my new manager if birdseed counts as a valid work from home expense

2025 transit in review: - 2,326 mi. total on the bike - ~7.7 mi. per day, despite WFH with no commute - 40 individual car trips for the year, combo of required vs. optional - Avg. car trip was ~17.7 mi. long, which makes sense because a bikeshed of ~9 mi. means I'm probably just leaving town

I’m not posting my year end recaps until Wednesday night. I’ve still got two days to get more miles on the bike. We don’t raise quitters in this house
