I have known Le Porge since I was a child. Much of it is now ash. We were warned this would come. We kept burning fossil fuels anyway. Adapting to this is not a plan. Stopping the cause is.

Having observed the robust signature review processes and procedures in Multnomah County Elections for *ballots,* I find it REALLY hard to believe there are "thousands of valid voter signatures being thrown out" in this ballot measure validation.

This initiative should be disqualified. And further, huge kudos to the brave public employee who saw something, documented it, and said something. The idea that a public employee should have to be neutral in her private life is absurd and the spokespeople for this failing campaign know that.

Forever second to last, sigh

The New York Times wouldn't let me write about the Age of Diarrhea so I had to do it myself.

Hit with a wave of climate grief after learning a new word, "pyrocumulonimbus"—fire-generated thunderstorm—on Democracy Now / KBOO today. Oregon and Washington mentioned in the same bit about historic fires in France and Spain, with an incoming 104+ heat wave in their forecasts. What are we doing?

OMG pool life in trumps America

Just finished the 3-day summit for the National Caucus of Environmental Legislators with this great Oregon crew. From energy affordability to climate displacement, my mind is brimming with new climate and environmental policy ideas and inspiration from around the US! #Inspired and #FiredUp

WHO reports more than 1,300 excess deaths across Europe since June 21st during the 2026 wave. Europe is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet.

This guy needs to watch the hauntingly beautiful movie Never Let Go

imo cultures should compete on their food and vibrancy, get us with the dance and the dress! if you have to violently kill and deport people to bolster your culture than your culture is a failure

There it is, Waymo minivan

Dang I just spotted a Waymo rolling around NE PDX, Cully. It passed before I could get a pic

Yes, it’s not entirely funded with PCEF, but the project was short funding and PCEF plugged the big hole to let it go forward

Brb about to go bug my husband to get a nicer plug in induction burner because the one we have is cheap and I can’t use it to make soup, but I’m beginning to think I shouldn’t be standing next to a gas stove for 2+ hours when it’s soup time.

Things that didn’t get 20✨ articles: -Smith saying Avalos doesnt represent Black Portlanders, using guns against constituents - Pirtle Guiney yelling “fuck you!” On the dais to Sameer, making staff cry - Novick’s “fuck yourself in the heart” got 1 - Clark comparing foie gras bans to abortion bans

PCEF is also going to plant a street tree for me this summer. PCEF is doing a bad job, in my opinion telling its own story, but if you see something cool happening in the city, Mt. Scott Rec Center, new tree mediums and BRT on 82nd, then it’s very likely has PCEF money

i am very certain that ditching gas is why my oldest didn't develop asthma after being pretty clearly pre-asthmatic
