Tugboat watched for a minute, and then decided if all those humans were running from something he should run too. He got down, terrified, and I've been feeding him calming treats in the safety of the bathroom. 😅😅 Good instincts, buddy.

It took far too long than I'll ever admit to finally get A10 with Regent. Two down, three to go. Maybe I'll take it easy this next character and just get Ironclad out of the way.
a victory...? screen from Slay the Spire 2 showing that I climed 49 floors, gained 794 gold, killed 6 elites, killed 4 bosses, and defeated Ascension level 10.

That is the highest, most challenging level to beat with any character.

I have always had, and probably will always have, a terrible sense of direction. I wrote down directions whenever I drove somewhere new. I had every kind of map and atlas possible to write the directions from, because reading a map while driving was not possible.

I just opened my balcony door and chewed out a house finch that has been aggressively scaring off all the other birds. They usually pick and fight with each other but this guy was getting way out of line. Acting like a dang hummingbird out there when there's enough seed and perches for everyone.

So, uh, yeah, other democrats, you wanna hop on this "I want you to become a millionaire one day, but you can't, because of the billionaires" message or nah? REALLY adjacent to a recent posting by a Portland local urging our city council to talk to small businesses differently. Here's a way.

RUMOR HAS IT some councilors are going to be making a visit to P:ear to talk to the youth there, and that @drmitchpdx.bsky.social was still a maybe? I'm there on Thursdays, and the youth reportedly have some great questions lined up for the councilor that represents their district, just saying!

Please send all of the "Nasty little fellows such as yourself always get their comeuppance. Always." energy out into the world for me for a few days. I really need to see the universe produce a just outcome this time. For personal selfish reasons, and for truly caring about others reasons.

Mitch is a real one. The old guard doesn't like that they cannot bully Mitch around, that he stands his ground, that he stands by his beliefs because they are the right beliefs to hold...and he actually HAS beliefs other than "I'm important, listen to my whims". Rank Mitch #1.

Now Rapid Reponse has shown up where the cops were before to ruin more people's lives. Portland spends like $10 million dollars a year on Rapid Response, a private contractor. How much wrap around services and rent at low income housing could we provide with $10 million a year?

ANYWAY what I wanted to post about this morning was the super great Paris Paloma show last night. I need you to understand this woman brought her own wind machine to perform with and that is the energy I'm taking into fall.
Paris Paloma, a tall blonde woman, is at a microphone on stage performing.  She is wearing a black top and maroon skirt and both are lacey and flowey, with long draping lace sleeves.  The lighting is red, but with one white spotlight from the side on her.  There is a draped curtain behind the stage, scalloping from rigging, and right behind her a large set piece that is a stylized tree.  There are only a few branches 5 per side symmetrical, some curving up at the end in, some end in hearts, some end in stars.  there is a giant heart at the top, like a christmas tree topper.a masked couple at the show, a man in glasses and a "free palestine" hat, a woman in glasses and a mask and a shirt covered in large butterfly wing designs.  She's peaking over his shoulder.  You cannot see in the photo, but he is squatting down A LOT for this to be possible.Paris Paloma performing, the lighting is blue, and her hair is being blown around dramatically by a wind machine

Why are SIXTEEN COPS who make $70 an hour,minimum, required to arrest 1 homeless man in a sweatshirt with a couple plastic bags. There are still 8 of them just milling around out there, doing nothing. Leaning against cars, drinking coffee, blocking traffic. This is my tax money, wasted.

Had a dream last night that included being at a school to watch their assembly day. At one point some kids were doing tiktok dances, and three cops came out to join them dancing. I got the whole auditorium to start chanting on beat "COPAGANDA! COPAGANDA!" while clapping. ACAB even in my sleep.

Starbucks launched with the explicit intention to emulate the coffee-n-conversation third space of European-style cafes, and American less-for-more capitalism has whittled it down to a sugar water firehose aimed at customers out of a hole in the wall.

People see articles about crime in "supportive" housing, and immediately say that we should continue to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on carceral solutions, something we have always done that has never helped. Why not tens of thousands of dollars on case managers and peer support?

When does @billhookunion.beanyear.com start back up the bean boxes? I had to give a presentation as part of my final for peer wellness training, did so on cooking shortcuts, gushed about the instant pot and beans. Had to suggest Rancho Gordo, but some locals from the class might be interested...

Hey so @portlandneighborswelcome.org can you explain this endorsement? This is how little respect @councilorclark.bsky.social has for her peers on the city council, just dismissive insulting language towards them. How does this kind of refusal to work with half the council help housing?
Olivia Clark, when asked what divides Portland city council:
"My big takeaway is the generational difference. There’s a difference between the people who are younger, the Peacocks, that don’t know what it means to compromise; they have a very difficult time with it.

There’s a lot more performance in that caucus than there is on the other side of the aisle. Maybe people who grew up with social media, that might be part of it."

The more I think about this, the more I wonder what would happen if the city spent this kind of money on supported, transitional housing? What if folks had a year of access to a safe home, and case managers, health care, and peer support? We "don't have the money" for that kind of stuff though.

If you can't respect Black people's feelings about the converse ad...well first of all, you should shut your whole entire fucking mouth about it. So second, you should realize "Who is not in the room" can cause real harm to marginalized groups, and that's why these groups should be in the room.

We really need more politicians and government officials saying live, on camera, "I knew YOU were going to ask some dumbass, ridiculous question" to people who literally don't care what they actually have to say, instead of trying to answer bad faith questions.

This thread is why it's so important to defund the police, and until then to have strong and powerful police oversight controls in place. That the police have been shown repeatedly that they can murder citizens with no repercussions is a failing of our society and our government.

This is a very important op-ed. I cannot ride a standard bike because of physical limitations. I have a real concern over the fearmongering around ebikes, that my only mode of personally powered transportation can be restricted, or taken away from me entirely. We have to stop this NOW.
