Bumper sticker that says "Tom Dondon sold me this car without checking my credit score or proof-of-income"

I hit 5000 miles on my bike and decided to write about it

Not only does biking to Mall 205 make you intimately aware of your own mortality, Home Depot takes it a step further by locking you in purgatory behind the cart corral

If your tree drops a huge branch in the middle of the street then that’s the public right of way and now it’s my nursing log

Sometimes I wake up at 3AM and post “did anyone hear those booms just now? Shook the whole house” on Nextdoor just to feel something again

Bold of @mayorkwilson.bsky.social to disparage a “techbro” when he’s one polo away from looking like Sam Altman

Keith Wilson threatening Portland will become a flyover state if we don’t give the Blazers hundreds of millions of dollars really shows he’s not in a west coast high speed rail mindset

You know those Waymo vans are sweatin

when the textile got the crusts >>>> i knit a meme and then edited it with some embroidery 🪡 🧶

"Dundon still managed to find me. In a sense, at least... and yet I couldn't help but wonder if he and I were finally... done, done"

Opening the Merlin app to ID the eagle currently eating my liver

I will never know a life of four completely functional elevators that allow me to bike out of my neighborhood

If you get going with enough speed in a short sleeve shirt, you can angle your arms just right to get some wind right down your pits and it feels great. The government doesn’t want you to know this.

There’s no reason this can’t be made permanent

Over the past couple weeks, we’ve heard a Downy Woodpecker in a cavity in a dying trunk of a cherry tree Today was the first day the nestling poked its head out

Waymo Premier announced today for $29.99/mo. TriMet reduced fares top-out at $28/mo. and is facing horrific service cuts due to legislative incompetence PBOT and the City are entertaining ideas of allowing these vehicles on roads they already can't afford to maintain

In the garden

Everyone mark your calendars! Today is the very first day in four months that both Bob Stacey Overcrossing elevators are working again

To no one’s surprise, this did not get fixed today

Ritual Dyes opened up a few weeks back in the old Mixtape store. They’ve since knit these cute bike rack covers outside The owner said it’s a soft flexible plastic so they won’t get soggy and gross in the rain

look at my bus stop dawgggg 😩

I vote we replace the Gold Man on top of the capitol with a yellow Lego Man at the end of all of this

Off Campus single-handedly normalizing selling your Subaru and biking everywhere

It’s been four months without both functioning elevators over the rail crossings. One-third of the year spent doing dumb shit like this just to get home.

A siren calling me to sea

Animals of The Met

the guy who did the elevators at the bob stacey bridge also did the lifts at our flat (they're always out of order)

Getting kicked out of an Uber in the middle of the Capital Beltway because we’re in gridlocked traffic over one car wreck, and I keep pointing out Tree of Heaven taking over the highway’s edge

“Now boarding C as in Coconut” wake up babe new NATO phonetic alphabet dropping

9 months later, this post is still accurate

A 30 mile bike ride could fix me

Broke: getting on whatever train shows up next Woke: knowing a Type 6 MAX is two stops away because you checked TransitTracker

ASMR you’re enjoying the warm sun in the garden next to state highway OR-99E

Portland Whips is car propaganda

At the intersection of a neighborhood greenway, a transit stop on the Orange Line, multiple bus lines, and historically horrible bike/ped connections, we have to find more creative solutions than "how can we make this easier for the cars"

Everyone check in on the urbanist/biker/car-hater in your life tonight ❤️
