I have spent enough time in Kentucky to know that anything can be made close to glorious if you simply cook it with undrained bacon

For those of you not on Facebook who have been following (or trying to follow) the most recent Eugene Police Department racism “stuff”

c.org/vd5BMFBFqh This shocked me- looks like we are about to lose our mid-valley indoor soccer facility. Please sign if you’re so inclined. I don’t know what difference it will make, but I signed anyway.

Podcaster suggests he has inside baseball reporting that Dems will somehow dispose of TK after the primary and replace her with Tobias Read 🤔 can you imagine if you could just randomly do that 😂

Help me find a thingy that I haven’t found on my own: An electronic notepad that you can ***type*** notes into (not write with a stylus) that also doesn’t have any internet access options

“Birthday dinner” means ice cream after steak at the restaurant, then a couple more scoops at the ice cream parlor a few blocks down (restaurant ice cream: valrhona Madagascar vanilla, parlor: vegan Thai iced tea)

My surprise level is honestly not even a blip at this point. What will you do, Eugene 😔🤢 youtu.be/RqKaFcpE6Uo

Going in to work quite late due to bday gift pickup in 😮woodburn😮 which is neither here nor there, but something terrible happened at work as I was leaving yesterday and I’m afraid coworkers will think I’m staying at home, traumatized. (And honestly feels weird I’m carrying on like nbd 😬)

So random but: if you’ve somehow got kids that have outgrown “friendship is magic” era #MyLittlePony toys but you didn’t let go of the actual ponies, this is on kid’s list of birthday requests 😩

Go ahead, guess what she was getting at

Any recommended books for teens with interest in politics? I feel like I’ve bought everything teen-appropriate, but “books on politics” is on her birthday list. 😬

Dear friends: @joannarobinson4or.bsky.social is running to unseat Shelly B o s h a r t D a v I s & I can’t begin to express how important that is. SBD wrong for our state, & barely bothers to even show up when legislature is in session. If you can support Robinson in any way, please do!

Best news you’ll hear today, probably

Remember when I said that I’m still looking to get my all manual 2001 Chevy cavalier back? Feelings intensified rn 😰

Many enclosed trailers with racing Porsches today and yesterday on I-5 🤔

In addition to needing to find someone who wants to fill my seat at #LebanonHanover I also need suggestions on trendy teen gifts since we are on a great needoh famine, apparently

I may be the only Lebanon Hanover fan here, but in case I’m not: would anyone like to take my place at the show tomorrow night? Nice balcony seat with a chill friend. M will be out of town, which means somebody has to watch E, and I’m somebody. 😆 Not looking for $, just someone to enjoy the show 🎶

“Oh but can I tell you more about my opinions on law enforcement?” …God bless the surveyor on the other end of the line with her, he or she is probably in for a ride they couldn’t have expected from a 14 year old girl

Coworker sent me something that opens in VLC media player and until today I didn’t even know what that was 😂 he thinks I can turn it into a social post but it doesn’t even appear in my download file 😬

I initially thought it was @theonion.com 😭

I hope you can successfully click through this link, and learn a little bit more about a great candidate for Oregon HD 15. www.instagram.com/reel/DW_8d6s...

I just want to share that if anyone’s holding a 1998-2001 Chevy cavalier with manual windows, this household is ready to treat it lovingly 😂

Had a solid two minutes of confusion not understanding that the question on the concourse was not about what’s happening tomorrow but how to get to see Sunday

Made it.

Erin had asked to go to a match, and thanks to @scousepower8.bsky.social she gets a bday request checked off early today. She’s bringing a friend; it’s his first match ever and…he moved here from LA. I have no expectations here; curious to see how it turns out 😂

We’ve had a spate of callouts of schoolbus drivers recently- at least one route impacted nearly daily. Erin’s buddy has only been in school this week because there’s a city bus that gets him there (10 minutes late). His mom relies 100% on public transport as well. It’s necessary, not pie-in-the-sky.

Trans people have always been a part of our communities, including Albany. In addition to pioneering the use of X Rays in tuberculosis detection (saving countless lives) Dr. Alan Hart was a prolific writer with several published novels. He passed in 1962, but his incredible contributions live on.

Fetterman is doing tremendous damage to the reputation of the Big Oaf community. Big Oafs did not ask for this kind of toxic representation. Now we must lumber back into the shadows, hiding under bridges wearing our most somber JNCO jean shorts, drowning in both our sorrows & voluminous denim

Erin has been asking for a Timbers match. Was considering relenting for her bday, but then I saw the FO stuffies for "only" $75 just now and realized it's not even a moral stance anymore- I'm not in the match attendance tax bracket 😝

I have never understood- amidst a discography of the most raw, beautiful, catchy, dancy, fun, relatable stuff- that "Rock the Casbah" is what most pop music listeners know The Clash for. Also, the other bit is 100% true as well

In #Portland this might suit one of you...

Local PD had reached out about a camera at work; argument very compelling. Then this happened 🤣

Small businesses always put in the work and put themselves "out there". Big business too fearful. Behold, the laundromat.

A day later and still musing over papal stuff. First the (obvious) decline on this ridiculous "peace" board, and immediately after the rejection, sending the worst living American catholic to personally invite pope to our National birthday party 😂 then he admitting the lies to Dolan- what's next?

Took kiddo to school, figured I would stop for coffee and hammer out a few work items. I am the only one here in this empty cavern yet somehow, a second person has arrived and chosen to sit immediately behind my back 😂 this place is empty, sir, and your pastry bag crinkling is unnerving 😆

Oh my gosh. These are great. This expression is spot on 😆

Having served on landmarks commission and later a community preservation nonprofit, I watch the words of local developers very closely. When I read "As a 100‑year‑old stadium, Providence Park carries both incredible history and some inherent limitations" from FO, every familiar panic alarm goes off

Big struggle for The World's Best Catholics™️ to be obedient these days 😂 The right wing contingency is losing their minds on faceyspace about this Also. Pizzaballa 1000000% accurate

Good enough as a freshman to be sent to go play the private tennis club boys on their turf, not good enough to win. Far angrier to be losing to a boy 😆 threw my racket. Got drug off the court.

“I do think one of the dark horses — and unfortunately one of the most progressive — is Cardinal Prevost.” “He would be the worst pick.” — Steve Bannon One week later, Cardinal Prevost was elected Pope Leo XIV.

This is blackout poetry to me

Visiting Bluesky intermittently is typically a good feeling in comparison to other social channels, but the upward tick of people posting how they're hanging on by a thread until X happens (usually a vacation, destination, or reunion) and it's all that's keeping them together is heartbreaking 😭

I'm pretty psyched about this 🚆

I'm not smart enough to check this work, or perhaps too distracted to navigate around the black holes 😫

Embarrassing when your town shows up in the news like this, but it's kinda like a band aid getting torn off at the same time. At least we can own it now.

Y'all I have a profile in courage for you A tech asked to speak with me this morning- said he wants to keep politics out of work, I said ok, what's going on? GUYS. The lunch truck/snack wagon arrived Fri per their route, but dude wouldn't sell anything- said he was protesting ICE. 🫡
