Today in Portland, Oregon I planted seeds in my container garden & rode my bicycle to acupuncture. On the way I saw a clown march at Laurelwood Park & said farewell to a 40-year-old TriMet MAX train. Then my partner & I got phenomenal sushi & hiked up Powell Butte to watch the sunset.

A democracy that prioritized social safety nets, affordable housing, universal healthcare etc. wouldn’t have any need for DoorDash grandmas. In this one they deliver McDonald’s to the White House.
A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week.
For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead.

My partner is avoiding the news to prepare for a spiritual ceremony. He asked me how I'm doing this morning. "I can't tell you." "Why not?" ... "it's low vibration"
it’s very funny to come on bluesky and implore everyone to call their reps, this is the nerd website, we are way ahead of you. go explain what a government is to the people on threads

During this incredible, unifying moment of inspiring international cooperation and spectacular technological achievement, I would really appreciate it if the US president would stop threatening to murder an entire country with bombs.
What a beautiful moment.

Unfortunately PDX is not known for the best kite flying conditions, but I'm framing this as an excuse to go exploring the Oregon coast / Columbia River Gorge
I'm envisioning a 75-foot rainbow tube tail so it screams gay rights as it tears up the sky
