I just had the unexpected gift of free professional care! The lovely piercer working today at Skin City in #Tigard, #Oregon, just replaced my helix and nostril piercings at no charge!
My TMJ/orofascial pain doc wanted a radiograph of my face & head but it had to be postponed p since I have facial piercings. Yesterday I had them removed so the scan could be done this morning after my next round of trigger point injections. Now we’re hoping to NOT hear from the doc; she only calls if there’s something wrong!
I was told that they’re such easy, well placed, well cared for piercings that it was no big effort and, “Our treat! Hopefully this makes some of your hard healthcare stuff just a bit easier!”

These are the criteria for offering shelter to #UnhousedPeople in the #PortlandMetro area:
Winter shelters in #MultnomahCounty open when forecasted temperatures are 25 degrees or below, if forecasted snow accumulation is an inch or more or if forecasted temperatures are at or below 32 degrees with one inch of rain or more overnight.
Our political “leaders” sent #UnhousedPeople to spend the night on ice & snow covered ground because those criteria werent met.
Talk about the banality of evil.
Multnomah County’s Preschool for All, funded by a small tax on the top 5% of Multnomah County, is outperforming expectations. However, wealthy local residents have their sights set on dismantling the program.

The bus comes at 4:25 and 4:55 and I get out of work at 4:30. So I was thinking I’d be loitering at the stop for a bit.
The 4:25 bus showed up 10 minutes late, exactly as I arrived at the stop. An auspicious end to my work day.
No American City Has Ever Tried a Climate Justice Tax Like the One Portland Is Launching
"It's long past time for Portland, a city with a history of institutionalized racism, to move aggressively toward equity, Hardesty and others say."
"It's a local version of the Green New Deal proposed in 2019 by U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). It's also part of a larger political effort to reshape who calls the shots—and who benefits."
The new tax, created by a 2018 ballot initiative city voters passed by an overwhelming margin, is part of a power shift that saw two outsiders—Chloe Eudaly in 2016 and Jo Ann Hardesty in 2018—defeat establishment candidates for seats on the Portland City Council."
