unlike the books on jonestown and ruby ridge i just read, which inspired me to feel intensely sympathetic towards the victims, place myself in their shoes, understand how they arrived there etc, this book on love has won just reaffirmed my prior opinion- bunch of egregious morons + appalling drunks

Get a load of this Muslim over here. Scary right? We’re normal for thinking this for the record. Write that down.

can you send mail to an active fire line? like to the crew? does the USPS deliver to their camp?

And stay tuned for the Honorable East Portlander award ceremony 👀 (Bluesky's very own @spindlypete.bsky.social was our first Honorable East Portlander!)

went to DQ in garibaldi right as they opened and have to kill 5 min waiting for grill to warm up. shooting shit with worker. he says fair this weekend. i said with the pig thing? he says yeah one year i took 3rd. i said is there a trick to it? he says with pigs? you just grab 'em n go

combination of wildfire smoke and the dairy farm silage somehow smells exactly like canned cat food

i should make everybody call me peggy or maggie or something, sometimes elizabeth is a lot of responsibility

i've got to figure out a route from the east side to the coast that stays on surface streets and normal bridges through town, every time google maps takes me on 84 and that highway bridge i am sweating bullets the whole time

iggy calls a piano a pie-EE-no, sounds like a 49er requesting a song at the saloon

update on this: someone who bears a strong resemblance to this man appears on my neighbor's security camera late last night huffing some paint and then emptying all the loose duck food out of her free duck food vending machine (for her ducks) right into his backpack lmao

we have elizabeth at home@spindlypete.bsky.social · yesterday

update on this: we went back to the library this evening and saw the same guy, this time clothed, pacing around. brian said "hey that's the guy who was strafing me for several blocks the other day. he was wearing a SCUBA diving wetsuit which i then found abandoned in the woods later"

did we ever figure out why michael flynn was quoting the church universal and triumphant that one time

just read that in the 70s businesses on or near mt shasta had to start posting signs on their doors reading "no lemurian information" to deter cultists, i think i might post one as well. you never know

well i certainly hope taniel is enjoying his vacation

i will be buying the hello kitty spam

more like sovereign shitizens

tldr: where the FUCK is all the money and what did they do with it

there is a fully nude man outside the library doing push-ups in the street

sick whip

wow i was unaware of the sort of spiritualist or metaphysical origins of the silver shirts. i knew they were a fascist paramilitary but i did not know they came into being after pelley had a visitation/mental break where he spent seven minutes in a ... bathroom dimension?

stuck inside because of the smoke hour idk 36: finished watching alice in wonderland, the lads said "let's watch that again!" and i said, "sure thing" and started it immediately over again

gave the lads some big juicy dill pickles and salty plantain chips and watered-down gatorade for snack, trying to get the ol' hydration up, and they looked at it very politely, sniffed it, and one said diplomatically, "mama i have a fun idea. let's go to a restaurant!"

For most Americans, any sufficiently advanced ancient civilization is indistinguishable from Atlantis.

when this survey asks people if they believe "ancient, advanced civilizations, such as Atlantis, once existed" and HALF of americans say yes. a BUNCH of those americans must be thinking of, say, egypt. the maya, the minoans, etc. RIGHT? we can't have HALF OF PEOPLE believing in Lemuria. RIGHT?!?

this smoke sucks and i guess it'll get worse yet but it's still got nothing on eagle creek or the santiam canyon burn. those ones you could feel in your teeth

If there’s one thing we can be sure of, it’s that Phil knight authentically wants justice for displaced albina residents as much as he wants the Oregon GOP to win in elections

i keep thinking "yknow it's really not that hot, maybe this won't be so bad after all!" and then remembering it is 9 am

fun fact while we're on the topic of babysitters, my aunt diane used to babysit for the kids of JERRY BRUDOS
