I'm probably missing something, but with rare exception it seems like mayors range from useless to actively villainous. What if we just didn't... Have one ...?

I was at a sporting goods store (because I’m a sweaty beef bro) when I saw a girl wearing a ZIM shirt and thought how easily I could brighten a fan’s day and decided fuck it why not. I told her I hated her fashion choices and shoved her into a rack of fishing poles. God I’m neat.

A classic tenet of status quo politics is that we don’t undo systems of harm, we change the face of who is doing bc the harm and call it progress.

We change the messenger without changing the message.

Mine does that too it's very frustrating. End up having to balance the desire to stay awake with the desire to stop vibrating with anxiety. brains, not even once.

4 hours, 2 non-consecutive rounds of combat. 90% was DM exposition. Wuff, that was a very disappointing session.

We are unapologetically antagonistic towards racists and homophobes.✨

And we believe this is a majority opinion in Portland, Oregon.

The Portland - Seattle rivalry is alive and well. Seattle is leading the way on social housing in the US. Tonight we put a down payment on social housing with the passage of our Keep Portland Housed ordinance. We’ve got some catching up to do, but I know we’re built for it.

Success!!!

We officially have a revolving loan fund for social housing!

i have to say this to myself often. "you're not in trouble, it's okay". dang anxious brain looking for problems that don't exist

The Keep Portland Housed amendment to the TAO (technical adjustment ordinance) passed!!

Portland has a historic social housing and revolving loan fund!!

There are two verbs spelled slough in English, as well as two nouns, and both sets have different pronunciations. The first noun, referring to a swamp or a discouraged state of mind, is pronounced to rhyme with either blue or cow. Its related verb, which can mean "to plod through mud," has the same pronunciation. The second noun, pronounced to rhyme with cuff, refers to the shed skin of a snake (as well as anything else that has been cast off). Its related verb describes the action of shedding or eliminating something, just like a snake sheds its skin. This slough comes from Middle English slughe and is related to slūch, a Middle High German word meaning "snakeskin."

Right, as I'd said it's pronounced differently depending on what it's talking about. English is wild lol www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/s...

It's got a few pronunciations based on how it's used- as a verb, like to slough off, it sounds like sloff. As a noun it's often slow like cow or sloo. I guess some folks might also pronounce it sluff like fluff, but I've always heard it sloff.

Slough (v)?

You could probably get away with waft if you're open to slant rhymes. But for perfect rhymes it's definitely limited!

I'd go through my favorite word site, Phrontistery, but that's for really uncommon words.

Is anyone paying attention to the gubernatorial candidates for the Oregon governor’s primary?

Because Kotek isn’t running uncontested.

There seems to be a couple decent candidates, and one in particular that’s checking all the boxes.

finance guy gettin mad at me for explaining how email works. sorry man idk what to tell you I didn't set the message IDs for your shit maybe you should follow the directions???

A snippet of a trello board showing spells for a Witch in d&d. they are broken into hexes, Attack Spells, and Save Spells, and labeled for what type of save (if any) they impose, and what effect they have.

d&d is serious business.

Or they have generic pictures and no descriptions. I asked a place once for no pickles on a sandwich that had no description and got a weird look and "we don't put pickles on that". Well maybe if you put that on the menu I wouldn't feel like an idiot!

I so badly want my witch to do well that I've now made a trello board of all my spells broken out by whether it's an attack or a save, what kind of save, and whether it does damage or debuffs. I still think a dip into warlock is in my future, but I'm gonna make this work! #d&d

My "dad" gave me that magic item! It's not party property!

Trying not to clash with our bard, though: he's trying to sell MY magic item to get HIMSELF a ring that is obviously cursed. I also want to sell the item, but I want the gold for potions for me! I spend health like he's spending gold, so I'm gonna need it a little more!

Finally got to play my witch today in D&D. Some things are a little under powered, some things will really shine in boss fight scenarios. Hocus Pocus is gonna get some mileage for sure.
I still have to wrap my head around using a familiar, and there are too many gd spells!

You there! Are you in the Seattle area! Then you should go to this!
