This is insane. The moderates are funded by republicans. whosbuyingpdx.com

Partners Against Progress
They aren't Republicans. Some of their donors are. 128 donors to Portland's business-backed candidates also gave to Republicans. Among the progressive councilors running against them: zero.

it would be fascinating to do like an informal survey somehow. probably get a lot of "huh, never really thought about it" and some assumptions that it's like any ngo

What Lydia is saying here is incredibly important. Dan Ryan is using typical "I'm for the little guy" language to justify his support of big corporations. I wonder how many of his readers/constituents can actually see through that veil in the way Lydia elucidates here.

I've been on this fish-n-chips trip all year ever since I went to Portland Fish Market on Woodstock and got their salmon fish-n-chips and LOVED it. So last couple times I got one of these steelhead filets I made beer batter and deep fried in the wok but I'm not feeling that rn

this is one of the ones you get frozen at Winco. Pacific Seafood brand, I think they are farmed or at least raised at some hatchery up in Eastern Washington on the Columbia. They're pretty great

ok did that, now I get to maybe sleep for 2 hours, then do the lifting again, then if I'm lucky I can sleep for another few hours this is why I get kind of bitchy late at night sometimes

Gilia capitata @giliacapitata.northsky.social · 15/10/2026
really wish I could just get tired, and go flop into bed like a normal person, but I have to go lift 140lbs right now, 3-5 times, before I can sleep

so true, and 10 years ago I more-or-less kinda trusted them both. Either I was naive then, or they've peeled off some layers, or both. Either way I have regret at ever putting any faith in either of them.

coo-ee (long drawn out coo, fast, higher pitch, louder ee) is a bush call. we’d always use that to locate each other when in the forest foraging mushrooms or blackcaps or doing tree work or whatever

emu parade is when something small is lost on the ground and everyone starts going around looking for it, bent at the waist, stepping carefully and peering at the grass/gravel/dirt until the earring (or whatever it is) gets discovered

Gilia capitata @giliacapitata.northsky.social · 13/10/2026
oh we have a bunch of these. a couple of definite Australianisms are “emu parade” and “coo-ee!” and between me and my brother, a screwdriver is a waboo and we could very seriously say “I need a phillips waboo, they’re in the 2nd drawer”

Eli Arnold says he didn't personally hurt anyone in 2020, but he was a riot cop. Marching, standing and in that line - while his colleagues chased, yelled at, and injured protesters is still participation. Individual actions don't erase systemic compliance.

I also think it’s interesting (annoying) that the O regularly fear mongers and does red scare lite by calling Morillo, Green and TKL “DSA“ councilors, but the paper of record would never call Zimmerman, Clark et al PBA/PMC councilors, even though that is what they are, and who they are beholden to.

It’s wild that no other media outlet besides the Mercury is covering the Dan Ryan text saga…like, these lobbyists were calling councilors of color racial epithets. They called me a burrito. Meanwhile there were ten million stories about daddy gate, but crickets on this? Disparity in standards
