I recently spent some time in downtown Newton, NC.

Holding large prints of my own photos feels so empowering. This statue of Athena stands in a hall of statues in the Vatican Museum.

I feel like I'm not hearing about any protests at all right now. I know a big part of this is because of collusion between social media companies, but have no idea how to work around this. Even the folks I follow who were active before in places like Portland don't seem to be talking now.

There’s No Room for Police Unions in the Labor Movement

No other union employees are allowed to kill other human beings.

My area of research is convict leasing. In the USA, when labor is forced outside of a punishment, such as before a guilty verdict, it is called slavery. This isn’t hyperbole…

Netflix has 4748 movies right now. Subtract the "originals" nobody cares about and there's 2503. How many of those are worth watching? The average blockbuster had twice that. @scarecrowvideo.bsky.social has 150,000. Fuck streaming & paying forever. When I wanna see a movie, I'm getting it on disc.

everyone please call senator Jar Jar Binks. he is considering giving chancellor palpatine vast emergency powers in the Galactic Senate

Researching information for a local mural, I learned about Indiana's electric interurban passenger railway system in the early 1900s. Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania were all connected by this system. Its too bad we don't have anything like this anymore.

Since Obama administration, at least, leftists/radicals repeatedly warned that Dems pouring cash into ICE and militarized police was not just evil in its own right, but laying the groundwork for open fascism. We were dismissed, with various degrees of vitriol, for pointing this obvious fact out.

Basically no one in government has the courage of a woman who writes about video games online

I still believe in this city, but I'm one of those 3/4 that came and left. I miss Portland more than any place I've ever lived, but with high housing pricing, I couldn't afford rent, and there's not good path to home ownership because prices are so high.

1 million Portlanders by 2045 🌲🌧️🦫🚲🚇🚰@bradleyclover.com · 2y ago

The Portland region grew by ~400k people in the 2010s, but only ~1/4 of those people now call Portland home. Portland must position itself to win an outright majority of regional growth in the coming years and decades. @councilormorillo.bsky.social @councilorzimmerman.bsky.social
