What a bummer. I watched it finally this year and I’m still not sure how I feel about it.

When a friend has been bit, stung, burnt, or otherwise injured by something, do you often wonder, "Should I suck on it, piss on it, smear butter on it, or stab the person?" Spoiler alert: no.

Some photos I took last week.

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

We're continuing our break down of the U.S. Constitution with Article One. Roman and Elizabeth talk with Representative Sharice Davids about Article One, the hidden rules of Congress, and what it means to serve in the “people’s house.”

Hey, PDX. The cosplay revolutionaries are already on social media doing their darnedest to stoke a riot and throw our city under the tank treads for their bloody fantasy. Don't take the bait. If we want to protect our city, we prove Tr*mp's ridiculous claims false.

This is very strobe-light-heavy but if you can handle the flashing lights, this is badass.

MSF forced to suspend activities amid Israeli offensive in Gaza City | MSF The intense Israeli forces' offensive in Gaza City, Palestine, is putting our staff and patients at an unacceptable level of risk to continue our lifesaving activities.

We have been forced to suspend our activities and leave Gaza City.

Hyper local: I went to the Midland library today for the first time since it reopened and it’s gorgeous! Also there are seven EV chargers and I spent less than a dollar to top up Clémentine while I crafted with friends. 🧡

Fat bear week is my favorite

This whole thread is filled with delights

I’ve been thinking about this since I read it.

If you're feeling hit especially hard by the sense of powerlessness as shit gets worse and worse, us too.
I feel like we should be offering advice or encouragement but right now, this evening, all we have is a sincere "same" and a "you're not alone."

You are a total badass. I’m sorry the brain weasels sometimes forget that. (Mine do too!)

They do know the E is for Emergency, right?

Scooby Doo Fred Jones GIF Alt: Scooby Doo Fred Jones tearing suspiciously white ghost hood off an evil fucker

At least Scooby Doo villains dressed up in costumes & pretended to be ghosts.

Ours are like “Here is the evil shit we plan to do.”

Then they brag about doing it in plain sight.

Then media reports it as “10 reasons this evil shit isn’t true and if it were it wouldn’t be that bad, actually.”

This is why we are friends 🫶🏻

15 years is a lifetime for us queers! Congrats to you and your love. 🎉

Weird Al and band on stage in Devo-style yellow plastic suits and red pyramid hats

Weird Al on stage in a blond wig and sweater. Backup singers are dressed as low-energy cheerleaders. Behind the bassist on the right of the stage there is a man in a work coveralls pushing a mop around.

Saw Weird Al last week. Almost every photo I took, it’s obvious what song he is singing.

I wondered if y’all would bust that out. 🚗

Sitting at the car dealership waiting for my window to be fixed and the 9:00 person came in with a fish photo to show off. 😂
