So, out of the blue, I just remembered a bus in my hometown that picked kids up and took them to church. It was called “the joy bus”… and this is what I’m going to call every tech company shuttle from now on. LET IT BE KNOWN!!!

All “Oregon Trail” jokes aside, the fact that dysentery is on the rise in Portland because of a sanitation crisis is pretty damning for public infrastructure (lack of public restrooms). I make jokes about there needs to be a sequel to Urinetown called “Sh** Island” and I think I see the plot here.

Say what you will about homelessness and drug use but we in the PNW closed public restrooms in the ironic mission of not enabling. So we’re probably not that far away from where public drinking water is next and not going to not exist in the states.

I guess I’m not supposed to be monetizing my usual political ire at fascists on their besties platforms so freck it, here’s a moment of bliss on a lonesome highway somewhere for you lovely butterflies 😘

Soooo, just gonna leave this here in the “what ifs” pile but was just discussing how the Achilles heel/unseen break in the armor is going to be some essential infrastructure that nobody knew about and how DOGE upon dismantling it will bring about something between disaster and apocalypse.

“This power structure, which has become institutionalized, has put people with no empathy, no risk assessment and extremely poor understanding of the world in charge of our governance and our knowledge with predictably disastrous results.” - Heather Marsh, The Creation of Me, Them and Us #booksky

So uhmmm lemme get this straight: a mental health “professional” is now being a hype man for ICE raids? What level of dystopian logic does this make sense -and- Oprah has a lot to answer for. (Btw - said quack isn’t a real doctor)

it’s so insane to me that people work for ICE like did you watch star wars and think man i want to be like the guys in the plastic white suits who can’t aim for shit

On top of the usual dystopian cryptofascist descent into chaos, I have plantar fasciitis and I can only think about tons of thrift store oxfords I wore without socks in my teens and twenties. Surely that was supposed to HELP me from getting this awful condition.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945. They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

Thou shalt not blame California wildfires on ‘God punishing liberals.’ By that logic, God flooded the Bible Belt in October to punish morons.

I used to commute daily by H&D and while the orchard blossoms were pretty, I’m still baffled as to why giving holiday pears is a thing. Like, here - have some mealy fruit that’s either not ripe or is falling apart. Anyhow - 2nd bigger mystery: why is Trader Joe’s trying to abolish the DOL?
