Anybody gonna be in #PDX next Tuesday and/or #Seattle the following Thursday? Wanna help me prove these places exist?

Gonna do video chats and stuff in crowded public places.

I realize nobody is claiming Seattle is a smoking hole in the ground, but it is in the region, so I better go have a look at it before the collapse, if possible.
@springdiesel oh but they are! Apparently, we've never recovered from the George Floyd CHAZ/CHOP protests five years ago. The city, I'm told, is a smoking hole in the ground. I think there are zombies, too? I dunno.

@springdiesel

Still enjoying the terrorists of #Portland #PDX šŸ˜‚ These #DogsOfMastdon are so much trouble that Trump can shove my foot up his ass.

@justbob A close-up, angled outdoor shot depicts a brown dog standing on a brick-paved sidewalk. The dog is wearing a blue vest and is attached to a red leash held by a person who is partially visible in the upper right corner. To the left of the dog is a sign with handwritten text, leaning against a wall, and a metal storm drain grate is in the foreground. The sidewalk is lined with fallen leaves.

The sign reads: ā€œAnti Fascism - 771,480 homeless in USAā€ followed by bullet points: ā€œ32,082 Vetsā€, ā€œ4.2 million youthā€, ā€œ138,098 eldersā€, and ā€œHalf of homeless folks have disabilityā€.

A close-up shot depicts the side profile of a dog’s head, with a hand gently holding one of its ears. The dog has long, flowing fur that is a mix of tan and gray, appearing somewhat disheveled. The ear being held is long and floppy, also a mix of tan and gray. The background consists of a pavement covered in small wood chips, and a portion of a blue jean leg is visible on the right side of the frame. The image is taken outdoors, and the lighting appears natural.

A golden retriever stands on a paved surface, looking directly at the camera. The dog has a purple leash attached to its collar and a bandana around its neck. The lower portion of a person’s legs are visible in the frame, wearing khaki shorts and sandals. Shadows from trees fall across the pavement and the dog. The background is out of focus, showing more trees and foliage.

A close-up, overhead shot depicts a small, brown, wiry-haired dog lying on a dark purple surface, presumably someone’s lap. The dog is positioned diagonally across the frame, with its head facing toward the left side of the image. The dog is wearing a brown collar with a red tag attached, and a pink leash is connected to the collar, extending upwards and out of view. The purple surface is surrounded by a gray, textured pavement with scattered brown leaves. A portion of a denim-clad leg is visible on the right side of the frame, and a dark shoe is partially visible in the upper-left corner.
