Portland is my happy place. Avid believer in public transportation and you will likely see me there. Still masking. GenX. Believe humans matter as do animals and trees. Not religious. Liberal but not extreme (guess that depends on the Overton window?). #Eccentric. #PDX #PNW #NW #Weird #GenX #MastoHelper (a noob willing to help other noobs with simply getting started; not a techie).
Momma bear and baby bear walking across boulders looking for seafood during low tide in Tofino, BC Canada. There are three horizontal layers. Green trees along the top edge, shimmering water along the bottom edge. And tan boulders in the center that the bears are walking on. Taken from a rocking boat with a cellphone.

Progressive social media sensation #Kat #Abughazaleh released a video Monday that kicked off her bid to unseat Democratic Rep. #Jan #Schakowsky of Illinois.

“Donald Trump and Elon Musk are dismantling our country piece by piece,
and so many Democrats seem content to just sit back and let them,”
Abughazaleh says in the video.
“So I say it’s time to drop the excuses and grow a f***ing spine.”

After graduating from George Washington University in Washington, D.C., with a degree in international security,
Abughazaleh, 26, took a job with the left-leaning watchdog group Media Matters before being hired by Mother Jones in 2024.
She is best known for videos in which she derides Fox News and conservative personalities. On TikTok, she has over 217,000 followers, and nearly 200,000 more on X, and some of her videos have received more than 1 million views.

@Adventurer Pay attention to this app. Locate where you are to see if any evacuation orders are in place. It refreshes in real time. You can follow all of the fires there. The closest big one to you is the Eaton Fire, I think.

Wife: Wow, that's incredible

Me: Hmm, except melons. Melons don't do that.

Wife: That's odd...why not?

Me: Because they cantaloupe 😅

Wife: 🤦🏽‍♀️ I can't believe I walked into that
