Unbelievably, Republicans are trying to stop all federal heat safety protection regs, now or in the future. HR 6213 prohibits OSHA from creating or enforcing ANY national heat safety standard. We MUST stop it! 2/ act.seiu.org/a/fedheatreg... #WeFeedYou

whatever your thoughts on whether the state should spend three and a half billion dollars to double the width of a polluting freeway through North Portland, it's very shitty to see this agency string along community leaders for nearly a decade only to yet again stumble and under deliver.

I'll be a vendor and panelist at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland, Oregon October 2-4th! My table will be in middle of the upstairs lobby with a large selection of original woodcut art as well as reproductions, cards, bookmarks, and other weirdness! #art #woodcut #hplff
A hand-colored woodcut print reproduced on maple wood veneer. The art resembles 16th century woodcut illustration, but depicts Cthulhu, a character created by H.P. Lovecraft. This hybrid humanoid sits cross-legged upon a black rock jutting out of the sea. One crab-like arm points to the stars, and the other down to a city emerging from the waves. It has dark batlike wings spread behind it. Above the figure are the latin words R'lyeh exsurgebit ubi astra parata sunt. .A black ink woodcut print on cream colored paper. A simple black line frames a vertical rectangular scene of a blobby humanoid perched on a mound. It has no eyes and the mouth ends in tentacles. It plays a flute with stubby fingers. A black crescent moon is in the upper right and bog plants including a Sarracenia pitcher plant grow below its clawed feet.A monstrous figure fills a black background. This woodcut print has been hand-colored in a rainbow of hues, from red at the top, to purple below. Depicted is a creature with a sharp tooth filled grimace, tentacle limbs, a long thin tail, and fins like wings containing numerous eyes. A black woodcut reproduced on maple wood veneer. A simple black line encompasses a scene of a monstrous giant dancing inside a ring of black stones. The giant holds a key in one hand and gestures to a doorway in the cloud with the other. It has a scaled chest, tentacled hips with two crude eyes, furry legs, and sauropod feet. Two tiny humans gesture in the corners near bonfires, and birds fill the sky.

Here are Driver Responsibilities to Cyclists in Oregon law that we hope you never need in case of a crash. Handy on your phone as well as a wallet card. Thank you Viv for compiling the laws. Highly recommend Viv's Portland Bicycle School to learn more about safe biking! portlandbicycleschool.com
All text on Driver Responsibilities to Cyclists Know Oregon Law
Cyclists may use traffic lanes, including most freeways and interstates, even if sidewalks exist
ORS 814.400, OAR 734-20-0045
• Even if bike lanes exist, cyclists may use traffic lanes when avoiding hazards, preparing to turn, or passing ORS 814.420
• Cyclists may occupy the full traffic lane when avoiding hazards, preparing left turn, passing, traveling at normal traffic speed, or the lane is too narrow ORS 814.430
Traffic courses teach cyclists to ride in the lane middle because it's most visible and predictable. Riding to the right isn't often practicable, doesn't save time due to risk, encourages drivers to lanesplit, puts cyclists closer to hazards, & eliminates escape routes
• Cyclists may ride side-by-side in the traffic lane ORS 814.430(e)
• Basic Speed Rule: regardless of limit, your speed must be safe for all conditions, including slower traffic oRs 811.100
• A pass is a full lane change, showing turn signals for each lane change. Lanesplitting in a car is deadly and #1 way cyclists die
• You're not impeded if you can pass in reasonable time oRs 811.130
• If there's no safe space for drivers to pass, and a cyclist occupies the full traffic lane slower than the Basic Speed Rule, the cyclist must "ride to the right" or move off the road, when safe to do so, in reasonable time ORS 811.130, 811.425, ORS 814-430
• Passing is illegal near intersections, on hills, on curves, or when visibility is limited ORS 811.065, 811.410
• Never intimidate or try to run a cyclist off the road. This can fall under crimes of assault, menacing, reckless endangerment, and/or harassment ORS 163.190, 163.195, 166.065
• It's illegal to honk other than as a warning of danger ORS 815.225
• Cyclist can roll through stop sign if intersection's clear ORS 814.434
Page. 2 of Driver Responsiblities
• Cyclists must signal stops and turns unless both hands are necessary to safely operate the bicycle. ORS 814.440
• Yield to skaters of all types (in cities like Portland and Corvallis), tricycles, recumbents, and Segways as you would to cyclists. They have similar rights and duties. ORS 801.150, 801.259
• Helmets aren't required over age 15, or for religion ORS 814.485
BICYCLE LANES
• Before turning, remain in your lane until bike lane is clear.
Bike lanes extend through intersections.
ORS 811.050, 153.021
"Driver failure to yield while turning" is #1 cause of crash w/ cychists.
•Open car doors must not disturb bicycle movement. ORS 811.490
• Motor wheelchairs, small motor scooters, and human-powered mopeds have same rights as cyclists in bike lanes. ORS 811.440
SIDEWALKS & CROSSWALKS
• Stop before the sidewalk when emerging from a driveway,
users yield to you. ORS 811.505, 811.550(4)
• Every corner is a crosswalk. Crosswalks are the prolongation of a sidewalk through a road. If no sidewalk exists, it's where a sidewalk would be. Most have no white marks on the ground.
Cyclists invoke their right to cross when any part of their body or bicycle enters the crosswalk, then drivers must stop if safe, then the cyclist may cross. ORS 801.220, ORS 811.028(4)
• Illegal to park within 20 feet of crosswalk due to blocked view.
Exception: momentary passenger dropoff/pickup
ORS 811.550(17)
• Cyclist may use sidewalks and crosswalks. Cyclists don't need to dismount. Cyclists must be at walking speed on approach and crossing of driveways and parking lots. ORS 811.055, 814.410

And if a few left car turns indeed would have to be eliminated, I think we need to weigh the cost of asking drivers to make a right and right versus the cost of having zero protected scooter/bike infrastructure in Rainier Valley

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield @agdanrayfield.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
Tonight, we secured a court order protecting Oregonians’ voting rights. A federal court blocked the key provisions of the U.S. Postal Service’s rule restricting delivery of mail-in ballots, siding with Oregon and our coalition. #orpol
“This is a win for every Oregon voter,” said Attorney General Dan Rayfield. “Oregonians have trusted vote-by-mail for more than 25 years because it works. It’s secure, it’s convenient, and it lets every eligible voter make their voice heard – and today the court agreed that Donald Trump can’t upend that system just a few months before ballots go out.“The Postal Service does not get to decide who receives a ballot in Oregon. That authority belongs to the states, and this order confirms it. While this fight isn’t over, this ruling means Oregon voters can count on the system they know as we head into the fall election.”
