oregonian. born & raised kansan. i hate fascists. #1 all-time john brown fan fix your heart or die

What convinces sick humans to shoot up elementary schools? How is that even in the brain? We live in an absolutely sick society. Republicans own this. Republicans and their gun policies killed children in Bend, Oregon today.

Around 2019 I started to get mega burned out on political social media. Twitter had gone from fun-yet-crazy public square to a gawking ground where all we did is give attention to vile people- who were being vile on purpose just to get that attention! Then all of society became that. Bummer!

i hate tipping so much. i tip very well but i hate that i am forced to subsidize greedy fucks who rob service workers. people who don’t tip can’t afford the service they are trying to purchase. it’s stealing. not tipping is punishment for bad service, not just something you can always do

Muse being the top app in the app store is so depressing. Meta has done so little to deserve all that data and has done one billion things to prove how much they will cheat, steal and sell your privacy as much as is absolutely possible. They’re a scum company and their success is humanity’s loss.

IBR - AI Evaluation WSDOT & ODOT safety engineers have not evaluated IBR's design. The IBR's Vancouver bridge approach includes a dangerous 1,510-foot S-curve that requires a 35mph truck speed limit. A -3% grade plus frequent rain and black ice make a safe speed even lower.

i will never support or sign something if you’re lingering at bus stops and grocery store entrances. if you pester me at places where i can’t avoid you, fuck off. i feel bad for people with those jobs- i’m sure they’re the worst jobs in the world. but i’m not going to ever reward bad behavior

Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"

Every week I further realize that Google shutting down reader is one of the worst things they’ve ever done. RSS (like podcasts) is the only true open protocol for web content that’s ever worked and it’s way too full of friction and management for most people to bother with. Reader made it so easy.

always shocked at the amount of people who live in portland and have NEVER, ONCE ever used trimet. I get some of the objections, but if you’re allergic to public transit, maybe a big city isn’t for you? the suburbs are right there

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

I am a firm believer that there are no essential differences between men and women, only irrationally/deeply nurtured and enforced behaviors and roles that are so ingrained as to seem natural. But they’re super super not!!
