I got the text that my Oregon ballot is on the way! We got the booklet two days ago and are lucky to be in walking distance of our drop off box. It'll be our third vote from this home that we'll cap with a meal and walk home!

Our region is seeing a surge in immigration detainments, and it's important to know what to do if you see a neighbor being taken by ICE. Timely reports have helped prevent deportations and kept families together:

I had a video call with a doctor and they asked me if I had "access to sperm" and my brain went wild. Like, what?! In a can? Did she need sperm? Is there a market? After I said "well, I guess" she clarified SEX and if I could be pregnant. Oh duh.

For whatever reason I'm randomly chosen to be the one to cradle a bleeding head after witnessing an accident. Wear fucking helmets and don't think an e-bike makes you equal to a car. FFS. I still have so much to process but think the full story wasn't relayed to the right folks and once I'm..

I woke up from a vaccine couch nap, was told I snored (!), rubbed my arm and looked at the TV and saw an actor I met here in Portland a million years ago. I say, "that's the guy I met when I met Woody Harrelson." That's the story. THE FIRST PART OF THE STORY.

In addition to journalism, Harper had a remarkably prolific literary career spanning poetry, short fiction and novels. Believing that the personal was always political, she used every available genre to dismantle systemic racism, challenge patriarchy and advocate for marginalized communities. /7

“Bury M in a Free Land” by Mary Ellen Watkins Harper, from The Anti-Slavery Bugle, Nov. 20, 1858. The poem wasn’t only an anthem to the anti-slavery movement. It was sparked by a specific event. While traveling through Philadelphia in 1858, the 33-year-old Harper boarded a horse-drawn trolley car and refused to move to the “colored” section of the vehicle. When the white conductor noticed her sitting in the main section, he ordered her to leave. Harper calmly and silently maintained her seat. When the streetcar reached her destination, she attempted to pay her fare. The conductor refused to accept money from a Black woman who had violated his terms. In a final act of defiance, Harper threw her fare onto the floor of the trolley car and walked away with her dignity intact. Shaken but emboldened by the systemic racism she encountered on Philadelphia’s transit lines, Harper went to her writing desk that same year and penned her most celebrated poem.

First week of school ended with me getting covid and now a crown just popped off when I chomped into a cough drop. And the 5 is closed so my commute will be verrrry bad when I go back to work. This is just. This is just the best of times.

I just had the best dream about Portland in the 00s where a band lived on every block and there were house shows all the time and I was awake with the other party animals wondering between houses and bars/venues all night.

I'm so pissed off about the timing of the I5 closure next week. I'm going to be in traffic for hours with all the other kids going back to school. My only option is the route that on a normal day adds at least 5 minutes and now I'll be doing it with half the city.

Imagine trying to scare me “Sharia Law” while I live under a GOP supermajority trying to reinstate an abortion ban, while writing bills to put the 10 Commandments in public schools and ban books and free speech. I have nothing to fear, except the Christian nationalists in front of me.
