emily @emicue.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Also I literally subscribe to the Oregonian but can't read this article because I have an adblocker. So apologies if someone has a worthwhile complaint in there. 000
emily @emicue.bsky.social · 07/10/2026"Sometimes the trees hang low and it's hard for me to pass." "In a scenario I just made up there could be an ambulance during bumper to bumper traffic that is essentially unheard of in this neighborhood." Like seriously, these are the complaints our major news outlets think are worth airtime. 110
emily @emicue.bsky.social · 07/10/2026My children live here! We walk and bike on these streets! I saw a guy plow into a line of cars in the middle of the day, totaling at least two of them. Another time our whole block had to come out and divert traffic until the police came because of a major crash in the middle of a Sunday. 110
emily @emicue.bsky.social · 07/10/2026For at least one of these I think the crash would likely be impossible now, no matter how drunk the driver was. 130
emily @emicue.bsky.social · 07/10/2026There have been two fatal car crashes within 200 feet of my house in the 8 years I have owned it. Like truly sit with that before you complain about speed bumps and concrete barriers. 140

emily @emicue.bsky.social · 29/09/2026It also gave my family access to a local group of other families for friendship and support. When my husband had to go to the emergency room last minute it was another preschool mom who came over to watch my kids. Universal care is good for communities, regardless of whether parents work. 020
emily @emicue.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I 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. 151

emily @emicue.bsky.social · 07/09/2026It's fundamentally ridiculous to have a conversation where one side is talking about the women who follow MAHA influencers and others are discussing RFK, but neither makes that clear. 000
emily @emicue.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I 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? 010

emily @emicue.bsky.social · 19/08/2026As someone who got a degree focused mostly on British literature, I know a lot more about the bible than folks I know raised catholic. I didn't have to be taught it was true. 020
emily @emicue.bsky.social · 19/08/2026By 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. 120
