We’re still really on the struggle bus here.

Portland does not have the safety nets Oregon has.

I’ve started my job but I won’t receive a paycheck for about two weeks.

If anyone could assist my family, we would really appreciate the help.

A gofundme link to help Melissa and her husband get to Santa Fe

As some of you know we are moving to Santa Fe to be with my stepdaughter as soon as possible.

Driving the U-Haul has cost about $70-100 per hour. I shit you not. Any assistance would be vital for my family.

I’ll miss you too 🥲

At least I left Portland with Rene Gonzalez unlicensed to practice law.

Doing a THING and it is NOT SMALL:

I’m leaving Portland.

Hubby and I will be packing up and moving to Santa Fe in *checks watch* 8 days.

Kiddo is in Santa Fe (long sad story) and we will always be where she is. Period. If you would like to say goodbye hit me up reeeeeeal fast 🖤❤️

This was for the snow day but I will ALWAYS feed my community members ♥️

Asking for a little help:

My transit ride home is 90 mins at the best of times, and I’m l concerned my bus just won’t make it because of snow.

If anyone would be able to throw a few dollars at me so I could secure a ride home I would appreciate it ♥️

Weird last minute request:

I work in affordable housing, and about 30 families just lost access to hot breakfast/lunch due to school closing.

Are there any local resources who may be able to donate pastries or something small for me to put up in the lobby?

I cannot tell you how much I deserve pizza and ice cream but my pocket book doesn’t agree.

Just appeal, Baby Boy.

For the record, if they had asked, I would’ve said yes. But a head’s up would’ve been appreciated and is generally a professional courtesy, though not required.

Yes and no. I believe OSB is allowed to divulge the answers, so they could’ve found out that way.

I informed Sophie after reading the article that was originally published WITHOUT my ID that I was the complainant. After emailing, without asking, I was identified in the updated article.

So… no.

I’ll never forget working at a juvenile detention facility (I thought I was there to provide MHC, oh boy) $ one of my boys made BEAUTIFUL driftwood furniture.

He had no idea the value.

I brought in ads from Anthropology to show him similar pieces & he was FLOORED he made anything of value. Tragic.

According to OSB, Gonzalez has one complaint filed against him that's under investigation by the Disciplinary Counsel's Office. The complaint was filed on Oct. 7 by leftist activist and independent photojournalist Melissa Western (formerly Melissa Lewis), according to the OSB, who became prominent while covering the 2020 racial justice protests in downtown. The OSB did not immediately share the contents of the complaint.

I haven’t spoken to the OSB (never Gonzalez, for the record, though we were on the same email chain once I guess) in quite some time, but apparently this is still happening.

Melissa’s scraped and split open elbow

Melissa’s crushed toe

My elbow’s still scarred. Fuck the feds. Fuck my brain for putting this stimulus in the wrong file.

New Years Eve fireworks got me feeling some sorta way…

‪On the bright side, yes! I did just land a new gig. Job searching before Christmas is terrible. ‬

Bark-laughed out loud in public thaaanks

If anyone has a couple bones to spare, I need some help: I can’t pay bus fare until TANF hits and that’s gonna be a big issue for work.

Fare pigs are being super strict and I’m just not as cute as I used to be because I got a ticket last week lol

Rene isn’t looking too great to the Bar right now, I really don’t think he’s doing to be making any claims.

Ted then apparently placed a tender hand on Rene’s shoulder, gently, he didn’t want him to feel attacked.

He could have only said, “I feel you bro.” Then the two of them must have had a very specific trauma bond moment.

That’s just the only thing that could’ve happened.

Outgoing Portland commissioner threatens to sue the city over slow response to threats against public officials Days before leaving office, Portland City Commissioner Rene Gonzalez threatened to sue the city – accusing city leaders of failing to respond quickly enough to threats against elected officials.

Upon leaving, Gonzalez reportedly spun around and shouted, “Guys! It really hurt my feelings when you didn’t go full gestapo when I got scared on the max. So now I’m going to sue… probably.”

And allegedly sighed as if there were no other choice.

Thank you!

Walking out of their attorney’s office giddy was a great Christmas gift.

In which Ferdinand forgot how to close his mouth.

Just on one side 😊

I’m writing the Portlander’s Guide to Hostile Landlords as we speak 😊

It’s still shaved on the one side, but I cut my own hair and sometimes I make mistakes… this the short side lol
