Was just looking to see if we could still get Brandi Carlile tickets and there is nothing under $900. What are we even doing here. This is the 3rd time in the last week where I’ve looked up ticket prices for a show and laughed out loud.

"The children are always ours, every single one of them." Remember, efforts to defund public schools and privatize / promote 'school choice' are inextricably linked to the white backlash to de-segregation. We better lock in for our public schools, our teachers, and, especially, our kids.

I'm on the board of a small nonprofit and as we were discussing if we should hire a bookkeeper, because the org is growing, one of my fellow board members suggested instead of hiring someone we should just use AI. I've never wanted to jump through the screen more...

White parents have to start showing up. We have to stop being afraid our kids will not be in the best of the best. We have to believe that community and diversity matter too.

When our first kiddo was ready for kindergarten we had to make a choice: neighborhood public school, charter, or private. We chose our neighborhood school, but we we were very much in the minority of that decision.

What I hope most people take from this article: we need to prioritize the education of every child through our own actions and the policies we support, even if you aren’t a parent. If you do become a parent, you have to navigate the system that is available to you, and that system is fucked.

Totally. I think this is where many parents who want change are at. It feels impossible to change the system. It also feels like there are small things we could do to not be a part of the problem but that could lead to potential bad outcomes for our kids.

But, isn’t this her whole point? That the system forces you to make individual choices? I felt this even as a white family navigating school for my kids. You have to make certain choices for your kids as you are swimming in this stew of a fucked system.

i think it’s very good that @thesportsbra.bsky.social drew a line (the correct one) on trans rights. trans women are women. trans men are men. if your business stands for trans rights Portland will stand with you.

A fun fact I learned when advocating for school funding this year, Oregon is sitting on over $1 Billion in the Oregon Education Stability Fund but Democrats and others are refusing to even bring it to the legislature for a vote

Y’all, at the Portland Fire game tonight they did a Corgi race at halftime. The level of booing that occurred when the dog won because his owner led him on a lease was inspiring. It was so loud they had a redo of the race lol

What are some positive things happening in Portland right now?
Discussion
Lately, there has been a lot of negative buzz about Portland, from the job market and housing to companies leaving the city and so forth. What are some positive things happening in Portland right now that show why it was—and still is—a great city?

Portland’s food scene continues to receive national praise and awards. The James Beard Public Market is opening next year. The Portland Art Museum just reopened after a major remodel and expansion. There are two large music venues under construction set to open next year, and small venue Doug Fir is also well on the way to reopening in a new location. An international design competition to reimagine Waterfront Park is underway. A WNBA team just started playing here this summer, and is doing better than anyone ever thought they would in their first year. A major rebuild of our airport just wrapped up, making it arguably the most beautiful airport in the US. Almost every library in the city has recently been remodeled and expanded.

We like to take the family down to Government Camp every summer for a few days to hike and enjoy Trillium Lake. We just had to leave early due to the fires and when we messaged our host to let them know they started arguing with us about what the true AQI levels are 🤦‍♀️

After today's discussion and rejection of any attempt to strengthen the City's draft Moda Center term sheet, I am less and less convinced that it's worth making this public investment even if EVERY item in that term sheet is agreed to by the team (it won't be).

I'd honestly love to see the numbers! I'd like to compare those numbers to the economic impact of closing schools and afterschool programs, decreasing rent assistance, stealing money from PCEF, cutting public transit etc. Also, what is the economic impact of our new pro team that just town?
