I know this is a stupid article written by an idiot. But I feel compelled to say that universal preschool was huge for me as a stay-at-home parent. It gave my kid access to educational and social opportunities she couldn't have while she was home with me.

The Metro Chamber is targeting me because my office has successfully defended their attacks related to Preschool for All, Portland Street Response, Moda, Zenith, Harborton, Clean and Safe, and more. They’re scared, I’m not, and the people are onto them. Their dirty tricks won’t work anymore.

www.opb.org/article/2026... I loved this article on Huxley who I had the chance to meet when a close friend moved to White Salmon almost a decade ago.

Welcome to White Salmon. Please don’t feed the mayor
White Salmon’s "mayor" — a 15-year-old tabby cat — connects the town’s past and present.

I truly don't understand what people think politicians should be doing if its not trying to convince people that their ideas are good. Like building coalitions to achieve your goals is basically the job?

I will say that there is one day during the I5 shutdown where I have to commute to Tigard (and another where I have to go to Eugene) and I am REALLY not looking forward to it!

Dolly broke me in early to her raucous self deprecating sense of humor when we began steel magnolias rehearsals  i asked her - how long does it take to do a hair do like yours? Dolly - no idea, i’m never there when they do it! i started taking Dolly-isms notes on the back of my script after that

I felt a little silly leaving a popular group when I realized (probably fringe) voices in it were advocating broadly for political violence. But I don't regret it!

By this logic schools should also spend quite a bit of time on greek and roman mythology. But as an English lit major not raised in Christianity, I promise you it works to learn these things as you read the literature. You don't need to be taught it separately.

I have a fool-proof way to get on the news: 1) live in a beloved neighborhood, 2) have a very cute baby, 3) have a very silly bike. You don't always need all three, but if you do it is basically a guarantee.

I read a post a couple of years ago that really stuck with me. The cooling centers are for anyone that needs them. As a person with a lot of privileges it is my default mode to say "oh that's not for me." If that's you too but you don't have ac and you are struggling in this heat, it is for you!

We have a nanny this summer and it's making me weirdly conservative? Like it feels crazy that it costs me so much more to employ her than she gets to put in her pocket every pay period! Abolish taxes just for my nanny.

Portland: everyone who is seriously thinking of using our CLEAN ENERGY FUND to bribe our basketball team to not leave town needs to know that our transit agency is on track to cut nearly 1/3 of its service from what it was in 2025. Which is the greater crisis?

Very funny to watch people realize in real time that the switch from ST to DST has a purpose. The way people have talked about it for years treated it as though there was an option where we actually get more hours of daylight.

One thing I would love is if, when a straight white guy “sees the light” and joins the left, he would volunteer for a community group and like knock doors for someone who’d been on the left for ages instead of immediately wanting to be the candidate. It’d be like a litmus test for if they’re serious

Had to apologize to my kids for yelling "F**k you!" to a man driving unsafely behind us. We took the lane for about 4 blocks on a street with a 20 MPH limit. This asshole revved his engine behind us the entire time and then screamed "you're a bad example" after we pulled into our destination.

I remember watching a show (literally have no idea which one) and an immigrant was trying to introduce herself to her new neighbors and had a lot of trepidation over which ones would be friendly. I bought one of those "No Matter Where You Are From We're Glad You're Our Neighbor" signs the next day.

Reading about the hearing this morning is reminding me that we did some Christmas shopping there last year. It was cool! And also we parked on a deserted level of the parking garage and some people actively taking drugs had to give us directions to where we could actually access the building.

I am working on something related to scams for my work and nothing makes me more empathetic than people falling for a scam. Scammers prey on the most human parts of us! That's literally how they convince us to fall for it and it's nearly always so heartbreaking.
