Books with Pictures is an invaluable resource for so many of us, and a cherished bi-weekly tradition for me and my family! Let's help carry them over this recent rough patch. 💜

I am normal, I don't hang out with platforms and people that sell child porn. That's who I was ten years ago; that's who I've stayed. That's *the big things*. It is the people who have stayed on Twitter who have changed, and who have not realized it. They embrace the dumpster fire, and can't see it.

Instant click for me: how NYC street signs are made. “The sign shop…has a staff of 46 workers, including seven letterers who lay out signs by hand and a blacksmith who makes custom brackets to securely attach signs to traffic poles.” [nytimes.com]

Of course Ed Sheeran's Irish band, Beoga, quit on him after he dropped Macklemore for saying "Free Palestine"! Irish musicians are at the forefront of speaking out against the genocide of Palestine. We covered this here: www.theflytrapmedia.com/censorship-o...

Digital Ocean ended their $50/month sponsorship of GNOME and FlatHub and went radio silent on CSS-Tricks right around the time they found a spare three million dollars to burn on “sponsoring” a high-profile racist’s dotfiles repo. Impossible to see this as anything but a statement of their values.

We started a trade war with these people because the president, who has some sort of degenerative brain disease with visible bruises on his hand's injection site that the press doesn't talk about, was bored.

get ready to cyber bully your legislators that restoring and expanding bus service is a nonnegotiable component of a 2027 transportation package. It won’t happen unless we annoy the crap out of them with untold hundreds of angry constituents blowing up their inboxes and phone lines

As I wait on a busy road for a bus that is perpetually coming in 12 minutes I’m just reminded how the city of Portland, the county of Multnomah, the regional Metro, and the State of Oregon really don’t give a shit about anyone who isn’t in a car. It’s obvious, shameful, and inexcusable.

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

Cancelled my both personal and business accounts this morning. Been a paid 1Password subscriber since 2012—that's almost 15 years of trust handling my most sensitive information, evaporated in an instant.

the conceit here is to pass off basically a Municipal Reagonomics sentiment as pragmatism. progressive pragmatism even! why i just openly identify as a democratic socialist, bc it’s important to be clear about what your program is. this shit is a tax cut for the rich and privatization program

Pretty disappointed to see a handful of notable Portland restaurants lend their name to the latest “Portland business chamber in sheep’s clothing” PAC. props for how breathlessly they repeat the word “progressive” in their rhetoric to justify their plan of tax cuts and more cops www.goportlandgo.org

I do think it’s wonderfully clarifying that when a beloved public figure dies who inspires genuine grief across generations and subcultures, 99 times out of 100 they were an artist. be kind, make art.
