Sorry, Bluesky. I pick you up after a long-ass day of flinging words hither and yon to get reactions & engagement. Or extracting others' words into structured insights. I'm tired and out of words now. So my finger fills in with wordless reposts 'cause my brain thinks you should see this too.

I'm not sure DNC Ken Martin is able to meet this moment, despite his assertions to the contrary.

Highly recommend - get it now while you still can!

your yearly PSA: want to do something positive wrt the ecosystem while saving yourself a bunch of time and effort? skip the bagging and just rake leaves into a pile wherever convenient (bonus points if you do it under a tree). www.nps.gov/articles/000...

I am old. After 2 days of intense website wrangling (nav changes, new features + wordsmithing galore), the minor thumb & wrist pain flared up with a vengeance today. So I'm icing, followed by wrist brace & topical analgesic, This means scrolling, not typing today & maybe tomorrow.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

"Giamanco knows he’s being called a hero. He said it’s getting easier each day to think of himself that way." Good. Because you are, Kaylub. May you never pay for another beer in this state again.

Mr. BRC is not a binge watcher. Will exit a lopsided game by 3rd quarter, has a 4 hr limit for family parties. The long-awaited Season 4 of The Diplomat just landed. We watched, he loved. But as expected, we're done for night after Ep 1. I may need to watch ahead without him.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

This is good! This is how you support the open web! Yay for this!

Fellow WA voters, let's bury this. I can't imagine any parent wants to subject their child to this vile "examination."

Mr BRC finally got chiro appt to put him back together as part of tailbone contusion healing. It was a 'hallelujah oh HELL yes' experience, he says. He also says he'll be back on the pickleball court tomorrow after 3+ weeks of inactivity. I finally got my husband back!

Ducks won. Bedtime. #GoDucks

Phoenix from the ashes! #GoDucks

At least my house is quiet. Why? Mr BRC out, not tracking game. Texted him brief dismal halftime update that he'll see when he's done with intense bodywork session, told him he/we both "lucky" he's missing this.

Well, at least a few formerly-undefeated teams went down today. #brightspots #GoDucks

Just catching up on the dumpster fire that consumed 4 Top Ten teams. Now 20T w/Fla State & Miami & the Ducks w/new QB? 🔥 #GoDucks

X is owned by Musk. TikTok is blocking the Musk movie account. Meta blocked the No Kings account. This is why Democracy Docket is not built on SubStack or any third-party platform that could one day turn against it. It costs more to operate but is worth it. Subscribe now. demdock.com/4w6emld

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Heard last night that the Golden Nugget (and Libbie’s next door) in downtown Milwaukie has been sold and closes next week. If you know what’s up, leave a comment? Will new owners renovate or ? Bottoms up.

Parents! Make sure your kids can read before you send them out in the world!

Ballots received, completed, signed, sealed. Heading to local secure Dropbox right now. If only that 🤷stops endless commercials.

Awww, my heart is 💔 I think it was either my sourdough or tomato posts, maybe?

i have lived here my whole life, and i have never once seen a plane take off from the Willamette… …let alone do THIS. wtf.

Portland people: We're driving S on I5 from Vancouver, WA. Just passed Broadway-Weidler exit & traffic is flowing smoothly. Our brief national OMGwereallFucked nightmare is over!

Honestly instead of learning new techniques to hack my nervous system I'd like to live in a equitable life-affirming society that didn't push me into fight or flight hour after hour. You?

With his finger on the pulse of the US zeitgeist, Presidential Wannabe Gavin Newsom wades into the fight against rape on the side of ....the rapists. I cannot explain to you how hard I will NOT VOTE for this man. If you put him on the ballot, you will lose

Men, if you don't know any women who've dealt with rape, assault and/or harrassment you don't know any women that trust you.
