There were a few folks from the Armenian diaspora who self-identified when asking the director questions. The showing was a collaboration with a local organization, who employs a person who went to a documentary camp-type thing with the director and advocated to have it shown here.

Yes, at the PAM Tomorrow Theater this past Sunday.

i am doing better than ever, financially, and i would rate the current economy as "bad". because i am almost the only person i know who IS doing well. Everyone i love is out of work or under water bc everything is so much more expensive.

hard to feel good when your loved ones are suffering

Was walking the dog and this van stopped me in my tracks

The 5 Steps to giving someone new on a bike directions 1. 10 mins describing how to get there 2 10 mins on the spots to avoid 3 10 mins on the spots to not even attempt to ride 4. "Text me when you get there" 5. "Fit I'll ride with you, let's go"

I don't know what pact with the devil @aptshadow.bsky.social made to produce such high quality books at such a break neck pace but it was worth it. It was such a delight to lookup Tyrant Philosophers to find out two more books had been released since I last checked.

I can't imagine what it's like to get guilt tripped by Robert fucking Reich.

The rest of the world: working from home to save money during unprecedented energy costs.

Two people site on a large beach rock outcropping, the tide surrounding it. In the distance more rocks jut from the water.

Went out to the Oregon coast this weekend and harvested some cockles.

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

Letter from Senator Ron Wyden: Dear CIA Director Ratcliffe, I write to alert you to a classified letter I sent you earlier today in which I express deep concerns about CIA activities. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. Sincerely, Ron Wyden U.S. Senator

I don’t like this

nothing has more predictive value in the current moment of world events than Being A Marxist

Striking from new Quinnipiac poll:

*Voters prefer path to legalization over deportations for most undocs by 59-34. Among independents it's 61-33

*Majority says Trump on immigration is making America less safe

Again, there's broad rejection of the whole project, not just ICE tactics (see below)

In the face of a collapsing society I am becoming hyperfixated on getting my dog on the top of the Portland ranked list for Fi activity tracking. She is enthusiastic but confuse by the sudden urgency our walks are taking.

A good time to migrate to something like Obsidian so that losing my notes will be my own fault and not someone else’s.

Aside from the tone-deafness of these priorities, the "business taxes have increased by an astonishing 81%" is a textbook case of lying with statistics. Let's look at the likely source for this claim: an EY report commisioned by Oregon Business & Industry: oregonbusinessindustry.com/wp-content/u...

the democrats plan is to ensure that every ice murder is captured on film by 2036

anyway, today I did chalk stuff for @jsalfororegon.bsky.social's primary campaign to replace Rep. Maxine Dexter in congress.

D'you guys know about Jessica Salas and her bold campaign to replace Dexter — an AIPAC and corporate lackey establishment democrat — with someone who reflects Oregon values?

Heads up, the lower deck of the Steel Bridge is currently closed due to malfunctioning gates. Please use an alternative route. We'll update it here when it has been reponed.

There is a point when you have to acknowledge that no system is going to save us and that the people in charge are doing this intentionally and gleefully. There is a point you have to accept that resistance is mandatory and that the constraints of peaceful only serves those in power.

I want to emphasize that at this time the unconfirmed reports that President Trump has both arms stuck "elbow deep" in the airplane toilet are just that. We will be monitoring this story. Please be responsible about spreading news that both his arms are "as far as they can go" into the toilet hole.

If it happens I am waking up my entire neighborhood like the wizard of oz when the wicked witch gets crushed by a house
