Chris Routly @chrisroutly.bsky.social · 18/06/2025One of the darkest and most depressing -- but undeniable -- truths that have come out these past weeks has been that most Republicans would have gladly turned Anne Frank and her family over to the Nazis, and felt like patriotic heroes doing it. 😞 020
Chris Routly @chrisroutly.bsky.social · 15/05/2025If one to was hypothetically thinking of starting a new Portland food cart -- let's say that specializes in doing one dish (with some variation) really well, rather than a whole cuisine -- what's something you think the food cart scene here is missing? #PDX #PDXfood 100
Chris Routly @chrisroutly.bsky.social · 13/05/2025When you go see a movie that you know has an end credit scene and people nearby you get up to leave as soon as the credits start rolling, do you have a moral obligation to let them know they'll miss something? 🤔 120
Chris Routly @chrisroutly.bsky.social · 08/05/2025Transphobes: "NO! I cannot suddenly use a different name for you! You can't just change your name. 😡" Also Transphobes: "What's that, Cardinal Robert Prevost is now Pope Leo XIV? Got it, now and forever. 😌" 011
Chris Routly @chrisroutly.bsky.social · 29/04/2025Thank you, Trump. Your blithering idiocy in targeting Canada just helped us pull together to avoid handing power over to people much more likely to lick your boots. #CdnPoli #CanadaVotes #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦😎 020
Chris Routly @chrisroutly.bsky.social · 28/04/2025Voted absentee by mail in today's election in Canada, and really excited that in my riding my vote might actually make a difference this time. 🤞😌🇨🇦 #cdnpoli #CanadaVotes 0140
Chris Routly @chrisroutly.bsky.social · 25/04/2025I saw #Sinners the other day, and honestly have been thinking about it ever since. "Incredible" feels like it doesn't do it justice. Everything is working top level, but especially the music and how it's integrated. That One Scene left me with my jaw on the floor. Bravo, Ryan Coogler, et al. 👏 020
Chris Routly @chrisroutly.bsky.social · 21/04/2025It begins! Back at #StrawBaleGardening after a couple of years off. Today starts the 12 day conditioning process before I plant in them. 020

Chris Routly @chrisroutly.bsky.social · 18/04/2025Got called for Grand Jury service for the 1st time & went through selection yesterday. I was literally next up to meet w/ the judge, when they announced they had enough jurors/alternates & we were excused. It would have been a lot (9-5, M-F, for a month!). Is it weird I'm kind of disappointed? 210
Chris Routly @chrisroutly.bsky.social · 08/04/2025With the passing of Val Kilmer it was time to rewatch one of his movies, and I settled on Tombstone. A classic! "I'm your huckleberry" and all that, right? I only got a few minutes into it when I realized... I've never actually watched it before, only clips and memes, apparently. Oops! 120
Chris Routly @chrisroutly.bsky.social · 05/04/2025I'm no expert in crowd sizes, but holy cow, the #HandsOff Protest and march today in Portland (Oregon) might be even bigger than the Women's March. I'm hearing ~50K at LEAST, which is only downtown and not counting the thousands gathered around the suburbs at smaller protests. 091
Chris Routly @chrisroutly.bsky.social · 10/03/2025#TrueorFalse: a bowl of mac and cheese is a fine meal all on its own, not just a side dish. 110
Chris Routly @chrisroutly.bsky.social · 08/03/2025I'm binging the #Sopranos, my first time watching it. It's obviously a great show, but holy cow every single person is just terrible. Sure, there's the murders, abuse, and betrayals... but right now I'm particularly bewildered that that insufferable Meadow won't STFU about Finn's stupid suitcase. 🤬 110
Chris Routly @chrisroutly.bsky.social · 19/02/2025Settle a debate: You have some leftover BBQ pulled pork, slaw, and buns, so you're making sandwiches. Do you add cheese? 200

Chris Routly @chrisroutly.bsky.social · 09/02/2025Hey what time does the Big Game start? I need to make a Costco run and want to go when fewer people will be there... 120
Chris Routly @chrisroutly.bsky.social · 25/01/2025I love New Zealand for so many reasons, but chief among them is that everything is funnier in a New Zealand accent. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. 010
Chris Routly @chrisroutly.bsky.social · 22/01/2025This whole thing where people are discovering that they are suddenly following Trump and/or Vance on IG or Facebook feels like it's a trick to make all the people who logged out to boycott them go log in again to check. 🤔 010

Chris Routly @chrisroutly.bsky.social · 19/01/2025Am I glad TikTok is back up? Yes, of course. Will I give the credit to Trump? Never. If anything I'm very uncomfortable with the whole situation and the way TT has been genuflecting, even if I understand if they feel the need to. The whole thing feels icky. 010
Chris Routly @chrisroutly.bsky.social · 19/01/2025On the bright side, it was the dulcet tones of @stephencolbert.bsky.social that broke the news to me. 000

Chris Routly @chrisroutly.bsky.social · 14/01/2025Hot take: at the grocery store checkout, YOU are responsible to put the little divider thingy down after your stuff. Don't make the person behind you have to lean or reach over your groceries to get one. 🧑🏫 030
Chris Routly @chrisroutly.bsky.social · 14/01/2025Nothing like being woken up by your teenagers at 5AM to the news their bathroom is flooded from a (still) overflowing toilet, and also there's now water dripping in the living room downstairs. It's gonna be a long day. 😑 000
